I've got an A1226 and had to upgrade the hard drive. The drive itself is fine. I can boot the MacBook Pro using that drive over USB or FireWire without a problem.
However, any time any drive is plugged into the Hard Drive cable (internal) it simply doesn't see it.
When I was pulling the old hard drive out, the cable snapped. I could see it was torn across two "wires". I didn't notice until after I tried to boot with the new drive and it couldn't see it.
I ordered a new cable and plugged it in with the drive. Still the issue persists. It simply shows the missing folder icon.
What gives?
