[QUOTE="Badger, post: 46309"] Did you push the reset button when you installed the new drive? You need to do this so that the computer will recognize new hardware. Also, did you format the new drive with the Apple utility or a third-party utility? When I swapped a new drive into my rev D model I set it up in an external case and formatted it with HDT. I then cloned the original drive contents to the external disk. I removed the new disk from the case and installed it as the internal disk. It didn't work and it showed the same problem you have. I had to reformat & partition in the iMac with Apple Disk Tools to get it to work. Badger [/QUOTE]
