[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1330400, member: 46727"] OK, that does point to a defective SATA cable. The error it first gave you though is a bit misleading almost like the system could not allocate memory to format the drive. Anyway, go ahead and try a new cable. I believe you can find one at [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] or at [url=http://www.powerbookmedic.com]Mac Repair - Mac Parts and Service for Apple Macbook, iPhone, iPad[/url]. Be careful installing the new cable especially with pressing the ribbon connector on to the logic board. [/QUOTE]
