Is Seagate Momentus XT compatible with my MBP?

MacBook Pro 13 2522 Unibody Mid 2010

Hello,

I bought the hdd Momentus XT 750gb, hybrid drive, put it into external drive case (USB), formated it, created one partition, used carbon copy cloner to create a clone from the original hdd. Then restarted MBP by using external drive for booting as a test. All worked fine, but after replacing old hdd with the clone, MBP couldn't detect the new hdd/clone, i.e a folder image with questionmark inside was shown on the display. Do you have any idea how t fix it? There was one hint from apple forum to replace the SATA cable. What do you recomend?

Best Regards

Pawel

Your new hard drive is probably to fast, it's 6 GB.

The original drive was a 3GB.
