Hi,

Your initial post was not deleted, I can see it just fine and you received
one response from RC White.

Either the drive is faulty, cabling is loose, or the file system is corrupt.
After reseating the cabling, you should download and run a drive diagnostic
from the manufacturer to check the integrity of the drive before doing
anything else. It may not be suitable for an OS install and need
replacement. If it passes the tests, then you should delete and recreate the
installation volume (C before retrying installation.
