Just maked my second try on Samsung ssd. This time it shows my ssd(before is was blank) I got the new ssd samsung 840 evo placed in my macbookpro mid 2010. When internet lion recovery menu comes i want to make a partition on my new ssd but then i got a error of block orsomething and now ive tryed it again and i get this error; partition failed wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed. Even when i try to erase i get that error.
First is your current HD working? If it is put it back inside and place the SSD into a case or adapter to connect via FireWire or USB to your system. If not you’ll need to boot up under an external HD or thumb drive. Make sure you have applied the latest Firmware for your Mac EFI & SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs and SSD Samsung SSD Firmware Updates for Mac Users Can you prep the SSD externally without errors? If you can you know you have either a compatibility issue or a bad cable.
Hi all, I’ve strugled for some days with the same problem but now it is solved. The problem was a faulty SATA cable. I’ve replaced it with a new one and now everything works as expected.
