WilliamO7 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hello. Just yesterday (from posting) my motherboard (GA-Z77-D3H) suddenly refused to boot my SSD (OCZ Petrol) in UEFI mode. It has the Clover UEFI bootloader and ML 10.8.4 on it. I have tried: Clearing the UEFI BIOS (didn't work) Disconnecting and reconnecting the SSD (didn't work) Updating the firmware from Windows and the Linux CD (didn't work) Plugging the SSD into different SATA ports (didn't work) Tried booting the SSD from my Clover USB stick (didn't work) Does anyone know what's wrong with it? Please help! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Create a bootable USB drive with Clover and try booting your SSD with it. And post more information, describe what happens, where it's stuck, "refused to boot" is very vague. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamO7 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I try to boot up my OSX SSD with my Bootable Clover USB Stick and it is nowhere to be found (there would normally be a hard drive icon with an apple by it): I am running the latest version of the bootloader, r1928 (at the time of posting) I then proceeded to boot into the Mountain Lion installer... Didn't show up in Disk Utility. I even tried to boot into it with iSoot to no effect: I then looked at the boot menu to see if it was there. It wasn't: Although last week a legacy option for the drive was available: And when I went to update the SSD firmware, it said there was no update available. EDIT: Tried reconnecting the SSD and booting it up with Clover. Wasn't shown. Went into disk utility on my USB stick... Disk Utility was so close to crashing, but it eventually managed to show the SSD... Clicked on it, and I couldn't erase or partition it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
