So i have a late 2009 macbook pro that had the old harddrive appear to fail. I bought a new harddrive but when i try to partition it I get a P01SX error: Cannot Allocate Memory. Ive tried using diskutil in Terminal but with no luck, I still get the same error. Ive heard that The wire ribbon that connects the harddrive to the board can fail. Any idea where I find one of these? I am not near an apple Store, nearest is 2+ hours away and I dont drive. Any ideas?

Thanks
