Hi everybody;

I have a MPB Mid 2012 and i bought a hard disk Seagate SSHD ST1000LM014 http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Lapto...34057423&sr=8-1&keywords=seagate+sshd+1tb+2.5
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Lapto...34057423&sr=8-1&keywords=seagate+sshd+1tb+2.5

So the problem is My mac doesn't format the disk if it's connect to internal SATA port, disk utility stay freeze and never end... But if i format the disk connect to usb port with a enclosure all is fine, the system was installed...
So when i change the sshd into the macbook pro (after format in USB port and the OS is good) MBP message appears it doesn't has OS

What is the solution please help me!!!!

Your SATA cable looks like it's dead.
