Exactly what computer model do you have? Do you know what OS X version was installed on your old drive.You've provided no information helpful to getting your problem resolved. If you have using a MacBook, then it is an Intel model. It came with a special version of Tiger. But failing to recognize the drive correctly means a number of things. Importantly, it means the drive is jumpered or configured to work on a newer model than yours. The drive must be reconfigured to work in your computer. This may or may not be possible with a WD Blue drive.You can only upgrade the OS by purchasing a newer DVD - Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion. And, your computer must meet the system requirements of each:Leopard System requirementsYou must have a Macintosh computer with: an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor a DVD drive >built-in FireWireat least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computerat least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install

Mine only has 4 jumper pins and no shunt or anything already on it. Is the problem something to do with the fact that the software isn't reading the hard drive as a 250GB, rather it reads the drive as a 1.8/2TB drive? 08/08/2011 by J Ernesto Having found others with this problem, I think you are right in that it needs a jumper shunt, but how can I get one to put on? 08/08/2011 by J Ernesto All old IDE drives had jumpers.

2011 by Mr T For once I can give something BACK to the Internet community. For many years if I've had a tech problem that I've been unable to http://mr.tilyard.info/macbook-hard-drive-upgrade-easy/ solve I've turned to the ‘net (generally the mighty Google) to find a http://www.filerecovery-mac.net/guide-to-fix-macbook-partition-failed-input-output-error solution. Recently my MacBook hard disk drive (HDD if ya wanna speak tech) decided to depart this mortal coil - I'm convinced hard drives know the perfect time to die and cause maximum inconvenience.

I input output error ordered one in (from the friendly and efficient IT & comms providers, HJS Essentia) and then waited. Eventually after what seemed like an age (ok two days) the new drive is in my hands. Using the very useful instructions from Apple on how to install a new hard disk drive in a MacBook I managed to swap the drives over. THAT, I thought was the hard bit dealt with - how wrong could I be?! I started the MacBook with the Mac OS X Install Disk 1 (version 10.4.9 to be precise) which was the disk that came with my Mac when I purchased it. My new drive was a WD Scorpio Blue 250Gb (how Western Digital know what star sign and favourite colour a hard drive has I've no idea). Anyway, off it goes and then cheerfully informs me I have a 1.8Tb hard drive (cool! I thought - perhaps Western Digital badged it wrong!) <- that was a joke BTW. No, something was wrong and it wouldn't partition it either, throwing back an input/output error when trying to create a partition. So I did the usual Google searches "wd scorpio 250gb seen as 1.8tb in macbook", "250gb hard disk
