Hello,
Recently my son had the 160GB HD on his Mac Book Pro 15 replaced with a 320GB. The HD replacement was done by a 3rd party and they used data transfer to copy the data from the old HD to the new. It boots up fine when you power the MBP up. The startup volume shows up on the desktop. However, when trying to reinstall the Leopard OS from the Installer DVD, the Installer does not see the startup HD. The utility function on the Installer does not see the startup HD. What needs to be done to get the Installer to recognize this new HD?
Configuration: Mac OS X Mac Book Pro 15
If the Installer see the Hard drive (HD) but not volume then you are able to do something but If the HD it's self does not show up then you have a problem.

There are more people with this problem. Seems to be a problem with western digital drives. The leopard installer CD will see the drive if you open System Profiler, it will just not install to it (the installer itself is at blame).
