I recently bought 2 western digital 320 gb harddrives. After installing in my macbook pros
the computer will not recognize them thus cannot load OS 10.6
I powered them up, read them through the usb port onto the desktop of my operating mac.
once in disc utility I erased all info and loaded the OS from my computer onto the hard drives.
I set both up as extended(journaled) The load went fine and info was installed.
But when I install them as the main hard drive, I get the question folder and no boot up. WHY? Any help would be appreciated in solving this issue. So I can read from the usb but not as the main unit. Do I need to change a setting or enable them to be read.
Just as info, I put in other hard drives in the pros and they work fine. But i want to install
these 320's as an upgrade.
