I have this 60 gig toshiba laptop drive I recently got back from being repaired. It died on me once, but it was still under warrenty. Anyway, while it was gone, I reinstalled my old 12 gig drive that came with the computer (it's a pismo with upgraded processor to G4 - 500 mhz).
I've got the system on the 12 gig working pretty well and I think to my self, why go through the trouble of completely reinstalling on the new 60 gig, why not just clone the drive over. So I put the 60 gig into my external mount and use carbon copy cloner to copy the drive over and then install it in my powerbook. When I restart, nothing! Just the blinking no os folder.
Ok, so something went wrong. But when I switch the drives back, so the original 12 gig is internal and the 60 gig is external, the drive looks fine. Everything checks ok with techtool and the info is all there.
So my problem is this. When I have the drive on the external, it shows up fine. All 60 gigs are there and it formats perfectly. When I hook it up internally, I get an invalid drive insertion error, and in disk utility it shows up as a 7.6 GB TOQHIBA MK4006EAX (that is not a typo, it comes up with TOQHIBA and a strange drive code) instead of TOSHIBA MK6026GAX and when I try to format the drive it gives me an input / output error. Techtool also reports problems with bad sectors.
Im running os x 10.4.4 on the powerbook.
Any help would be much appriciated,
Nadeem.
