I can not upgrade the stock 250 Gig drive

Hi

I have tried to upgrade my stock 250 GB drive to a WD or Seagate 500 GB sata 3 Gigabit drive at 5400rpm or 7200rpm rotation speed. If and when I get Mac OS installed on new drives when it boots and I try to transfer file to the drive I get the spinning beachball of death. It just locks up or it says that the copy time for a 10-15 meg file is hours. Talked to Apple tech support said nothing they can do for me. That I should have gotten larger drive at the time of purchase. Talked to tech support of WD and Toshiba (vendor for the stock drive) said I should get a sata 1.5 Gigabit drive but noone sells a 500 GB drive with these spec to the public. Any solutions will be a help. I am really really *#&&!& at the lac of Apple support for this issue.

Regards

Ed Mease

What proceedure are you using to transfer the data?

Drag and drop, from one drive to another

I have already cloned the drive. That is not the problem. It is when I install this new drive in the laptop it that I get the above issues. Copying data of any kind to or from new internal drive. Check out this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa... I was thinking that if I replaced the MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Mid 2009) Hard Drive Cable that this will fix the problem.

Yeah your approach isn't going to do you any good, first format the drive with Disk Utility, then download SuperDuper and use that to easily clone to the drive.
