Hy there folks


I wish to ask what you guys think about this problem ...


My Macbook Pro doesn't recognize any HDD with MAC OS X installed, if i have NTFS system with WINDOWS installed it finds HDD but ofc won't boot.

If i clear SMC and NVRAM than the HDD is recognized, but as soon as it starts to boot into MAC OS it crashes and a flashing question mark appears ( before that i see Apple logo ). Sometimes i see the HDD in Disk utility, sometimes i don't!

checked with other HDD', same thing, might this be a south bridge problem ? Tryed 2 differend SATA cables aswell ( both used so not a new cable )


Anyways all USB's are working, so is the webcam and superdrive ( all things that this microchip has on it )


Any suggestions ???


Regards EE

Well i've installed Windows 7 on that same 250gb disk which was originally in this Macbook. ... I've put it in Toshiba Satellite L350 and it worked with ZERO problems ...
