Solved New Ssd Is Not Shown In Disk Utility Shows Up In Other Computers Macbook Core Duo

Chosen Solution

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.
