[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1435965, member: 46727"] How about having a bit more patience? This time of day folks are getting off work and perhaps in transit and have not had time to digest your thread. Anyway, here's my thought on this.... the SATA connector on the 500 GB drive may not be lining up correctly when you insert the drive in the cavity. Check to make sure the rubber insulator guides are in place on the new drive. They may have come off when you removed the old drive and are still stuck to the old drive. By the way, this is a common problem with the older MacBooks. [/QUOTE]
