I've just installed a new seagate 320gb 7200 in macbook pro duo with a brand new mac os 10.6 and disk utility cannot locate the drive. I replaced the hard drive cable as I though I had damaged the pin and still no luck. I really need some pointers on how to proceed next. do I need to format this new hard drive so mac os can see it? or what is this about "master" or cable" setting on the HD? this is not mentioned in the ifixit HD replacement at all? I hate to have to open this machine again. any clues? Thanks, Ian
