Hey Everyone
I'm new to both the forum and to Macs. I just purchased a MacBook Pro about 3 months ago (my first mac ever), and last month I purchased a 64GB Patriot Warp V2 SSD.
Ever since then I have been having issues with the Operating System.
I will be using my mac, close the lid, go to a new location, and when I open it up I get the Spinning Pinwheel.
I then proceed to hard shutdown, but when I power it back up I get a flashing envelope... So I put in the OSX disk... and go to Disk Utility
The Disk Utility is telling me that the Patriot is "Unformatted".
This has happened to me three times in the past 4 weeks... what could possibly be the issue?
