[QUOTE="mithril, post: 1060012, member: 138941"] I just purchased a new Samsung HM640JI hard drive to replace my old 250gb fujitsu hd. The problem is, if I put the new samsung hdd inside and try to do a clean install of snow leopard, the setup always hangs at "extracting essentials" and I have to keep the shutdown button pressed to close my laptop. I thought I have a ram problem or that my dvd is busted but that's not the case because I inserted the samsung hdd in an enclosure, connected it via usb and the install went just fine. After the setup was over I rebooted a couple of times (still in usb enclosure) and everything was fine but after I inserted it in my mac everything went to ****: excruciating slow boot and runtime. I repeated the process twice to be sure. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it! Macbook model: 15" MBP 2.53 Intel Core 2 Duo 9400m Mac OS X (10.6.2) [/QUOTE]
