[QUOTE="kidsis11, post: 1250758, member: 204351"] [b]HELP PLEASE! similar problem[/b] The original hdd in my late 09 macbook pro died on me recently so I replaced it with a 320gb western digital hd. The installation was simple enough, but nothing had changed with the computer's recognition of the hd. I've booted it up from the osx installation to try to start reinstalling everything, but the new hdd doesn't even show up in disk utility and it doesn't show up on the installation menu. All that shows up in disk utility is the install disk. I've been trying all day to make it work to no avail & I just can't figure out what the problem is.
