The hard drive is missing from disk utility
I couldn't start my mac : kept getting the question-mark folder during boot. Inserting the OS/X DVD I found out i cannot see the HD.
I've removed the HD and installed it in an external case, and I can see it perfectly.
I figured the sata cable must likely wasn't connected properly either to the motherboard or to the HD. nop. replaced the cable, dead nada nothing: still getting the question-mark folder.
got a new drive, nothing.
could this mean its the motherboard? but the mac seems to work perfectly from the OS/X DVD or ubunto live CD.
any ideas?! help..
Is this a good question?
