[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1840557, member: 46727"] It could be a bad or failing SATA cable. They're easy to replace and not expensive. You can find them on [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The Free Repair Manual[/url] or any Mac parts supplier. A bad SATA cable is not unusual for a machine that old. Another way you can test your machine is try booting it from an external source such as a USB drive or even from your original Snow Leopard install DVD that came with the machine. [/QUOTE]
