MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2010: HD is suddenly not recognized anymore.

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 05:41:45 -0700

Hey,

after a freeze, my MBP doesn't recognize the HD (disk utility), even after a replacement with a new HD. Boot by CD, boot over USB, hardware test, daily use… everything works fine, except for the HD. Can somebody tell me:

- Can this be a problem with the HD cable? The logic board? The EFI?

- How can i check which it is?

- Should i try fixing it myself? I mean, it works fine, i just have to take my HD with me and plug it in USB every time i want to boot my laptop^^

-Should i check if it "rotates" at least? I am not sure about that? Is maybe just something wrong with the power?

I have asked that at other sites too, but as it is a hardware issue, maybe someone here has an answer for me.

Thank you!

Regards

Tobias

PC Desktop: Win XP Pro fails to recognize external drives

Win XP Pro (w/SP3) had previously recognized my external (USB)hard drives, but no longer does so. It has no difficulty with flash drives - only mechanical ones. What gives? Computer senility?
