[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1517055, member: 46727"] Please provide the model number and year of the MacBook. Without that info, it's difficult to try to diagnose what the problem may be. Also, did you boot the machine with the original disk (OS X Tiger 10.4.11) and run Disk Utility from there? A problem with older MacBooks and Apple notebooks is that the SATA cable which connects the hard drive to the logic board wears out and becomes unreliable. That cable may be bad. [/QUOTE]
