Message: <blockquote data-quote="mokirim" data-source="post: 1314672" data-attributes="member: 219653">I just installed a 500gb WD Caviar Blue in SATA bay #4, for purposes of running OS 10.6.3  I currently run 10.4.11 from the original HD. NO problems the first few days with the new HD.  On day 3, when I powered up, all i got was a blank gray screen.  I removed the newly installed HD, I was then able to reboot perfectly.  I then installed the drive again and the computer was able to recognize the drive, i then formatted the drive, and installed 10.6 on it, which took quite some time.  When i reboot from the new drive, it took forever to start up- with sounds that the drive was going to sleep.  When Snow Leopard was finally up and running, everything ran incredibly slow. When i boot from my original HD, everything works perfectly smooth- then it says the new drive can't be read by the computer, even though the icon still pops up.  Could it be a faulty drive? -or maybe a problem with a disabled SATA port, one that maybe not getting enough power? Does anyone have any ideas??Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!</blockquote>
