Unable to write to the last block of the device error
I had hard disk errors so i ordered a new one. When I booted using the USB boot drive (Mavericks) and run disk utility to partition it, I am getting “unable to write to the last block of the device” and “Unable to erase or partition” error. I read about your solution above, but wondering if it would work on the internal SATA hard drive. I also tried to create a new partition, but it fails too.
Is this a good question?
