vanhaze Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi there, I have put a Corsair Force 240GB in my MacPro. I use Disk Utility (Mountain Lion) to format the SSD. But then i get an error in Disk Utility: "can't write to last block" So i can't format the SSD properly. Anyone that can help me please ? Best, Rob.

Toasted Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Secure erase the SSD using Parted Magic if you are going to format the SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanhaze Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi Toasted, Many thx for your reply ! Does Parted magic run under OSX (Mountain lion) ? Or is it only windows ? Problem is that i don't have a windows machine to run Parted magic on. Best, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 It's one of those Linux live cd things, It can run on a USB or CD. Tutorial here http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=85344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanhaze Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thx for reply ! Sorry, but all that mumbo jumbo is way over my head :D: Would have hoped that there was some kind of native OSX application, similar to Parted magic which could do the job...:mad: Best, Rob.
