Hello I replaced the hard drive and still a no go so I replaced the unibody cable I did partion the drive first in 2 partions one for the OS and the 2nd one free All went well sort of. I did get to the load lion Software After 30 seconds or so it said there was an error and it took me back to the utility program I must be close I got to the correct screen. It was the cable because now I can see the hard drive half the time and now I can see the hard drive every time
It may be detecting both partitions, and choosing the empty one as boot. Is it important to have the drive partitioned first? Because you could reformat the drive to utilize all of it, install Lion, then partiton the drive. Good luck!
