SOLVED: New SSD is not shown in disk utility, shows up in other computers. - MacBook Core Duo

New SSD is not shown in disk utility, shows up in other computers.

I just put in a new Inland Professional SSD and while the SSD is detected on a windows PC, it isnt detected on my Macbook 1,1 in Disk Utility or windows setup. Am I missing a Firmware update or something?

For your Mac to see it internally, it will need to formatted GUID Mac OS X Extended Journaled.

However it hooked up via USB to SATA adapter it will see it in a DOD or FAT format. It will even boot that way if a Mac system is installed on it. Just not internally.

Nope, I just tried that and it still wont be detected by disk utility. It works over USB, but not internally.
