I have a MacBook Pro2,2 (early 2007, 15", 2.33 GHz) and recently upgraded the internal hard drive to a SSD. I formatted the SSD, then installed Snow Leopard. Everything worked fine, so I also installed my usual software and started working. Again, no problems at all.
Just one day later, I turned on my MBP and instead of booting the SSD with Snow Leopard, I got a question mark on screen. I then booted with the installation DVD and had a look at Disk Utility. The make of the SSD (Vertex 4) is shown in Disk Utility, however, underneath it the partition ("Macintosh SSD") is not shown. Also, I cannot verify or repair the SSD (options grayed out).
Does anybody know what could be the problem here? I could try to repartition the disk and reinstall everything. However, I'd be afraid that something like this will happen again, so I will keep loosing my work. From similar threats, I got the idea that the SATA cable could have been damaged when the hard disk was replaced. Do you think that's likely given that everything worked fine for a day and a half?
