[QUOTE="chscag, post: 997298, member: 46727"] Your MacBook is fitted with a SATA 2.5" HDD from the factory. In order to use a SATA II drive in your machine which has a SATA controller, normally a jumper must be installed for it to work correctly. I don't believe the WD SATA II drives are automatically backward compatible. You're also saying the drive doesn't fit - I'm not sure why not. Anyway, return the drive and purchase the correct one for your machine. Regards. [/QUOTE]
