[QUOTE="scotca, post: 880640, member: 63660"] Thanks for your suggestions guys. As the hard drive failed to be formatted, technically it is still in the same physical condition as when I bought it so I could return or exchange it. When you start talking "jumpers" etc. I am lost as I've never had to deal with hard drive issues before. Therefore, to make life simpler I would like to exchange the hard drive for something that is mac compatible for my model and not "backwards compatible" as you mentioned this new hard drive may be. Can anyone recommend exactly what I should buy?? I've had so many problems with this computer and I've run out of patience with it! [/QUOTE]
