[QUOTE="heiko_s, post: 844914, member: 63162"] @MichaelBamford I've bought the same drive (WD3200BEVT-22ZCT0) and I can confirm the behaviour you described. This seems to be a problem with the leopard installer since the my old "Tiger install disc" succeeds (HD detected by System Proflier and disk utility) where my Leopard Upgrade Disc (10.5.0) fails (HD can be detected by the System Profiler). I endend up putting my old HD into an usb enclosure to boot into my old install. The installed Leopard (10.5.6) is able to see the disk in its disk utility. Being unable to do a clean install, I decided to clone my old install onto the new HD for now. Out of curiosity what version of Leopard does your install disc contain? In my case it is a 10.5.0 "Drop-In" upgrade disk that worked fine with the old HD. I wonder if it works with a more up to date installer disc, especially since the old Tiger Install disc isn't affected by this. [/QUOTE]
