[QUOTE="luigi, post: 1587941, member: 327856"] Hi there Guys Many thanks for your prompt support, greetings, and advices for other HDs. I made sure to insert the hardrive in the correct way - and tried numerous times. At all the times the hardisk would not in fact be recognised resulting in the display of the flashing questionmark folder. This kept happening even after I tried to erase and format the HD to os journal, while i had this connected as external in an enclosure. Erasing and formatting the HD in such a way was the only possibility. In fact, conversely, when i inserted it in the mac and boot with the installation disk, the diskutility did not even show it. I had not used the wd as an external before. I bought it brand new and tried to do what i have just explained. The hd case indicates that this product is suitable for Mac OSX lion. it is a 320GB with 5400rpm, 8MB cache, and a SATA 3gb/s connection. its commercial name is Mainstream classique. Please, for any other detail do not hesitate to ask. Greatly appreciated Luigi [/QUOTE]
