Hi!

I've installed a new hard drive on my mac book and am now trying to boot it with a USB stick (wich i made to a bootable drive with Disk Maker).
My mac couldn't find the new hard drive when i restarted it, so i started to erase and partition the hard drive.
However, the process has now took three hours, the process bar remains stuck halfway and the estimated time grows by the minute, now stating it will take 3 hours to complete.

What should i do? I imagine restarting the mac would damage my new hard drive.

Help!

Hello and welcome.

Sorry we didn't get back to you sooner.

Did you get this resolved? It sounds like the new HD may actually be bad out of the box.

Let us know and we'll help if we can.
