What's going on? Is this a design flaw? How can I get this to go through? I swapped out RAM, reset the PRAM, cried, prayed, and begged.
I am 200 miles away from an Apple store and while I am willing to drive it, they said over the phone they can not guarentee a fix. I have a call in with an Apple senior level tech, but he is off until Monday and I really need to get this fixed. It takes about an hour before it crashes. When I go to install, it is very slow compared to the original 750GB 5400rpm drive. THe drive has the latest firmware from Crucial. I have also placed this hard drive in the previous MBP and a 13 in MBP (core 2 duo) and it installed very fast and fine. I ran diagnostics on a Windows box and it came back fine. I have tested the drive with disk utility and it comes back fine. My problem is OS X will not install on this drive ONLY on this new MBP. I previously had the previous generation (17in MBP with i7) I am using this SSD hard drive I just bought the latest MBP from Apple's website last week. New 17 in MBP-cannot install OS X with SSD Hard drive
