Laavuska Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Hey folks!First I want to apologize because this may be more general subject, but because Im using El Capitan, I thought this might be ok. Im using El Capitan Developer Preview 2 with Clover 3229. I give some background what happened. My idea was to change my old Asus board's cooler when I messed up and bent some socket pins. The result was a dead board. I got my new board, Gigabyte z68ap-d3 and then installed it. When I loaded to the bios, I realized that this board did not have UEFI although I thought so. Still I was able to boot to my El Capitan partition. However, Im not able to boot with the usb installation disk, which I consider valuable if I need to make some changes which may break the installation. When I try to boot from the USB drive, it says "Loading operating system..." and nothing happens. Guys, what do you think, what would be the safest/best route to get system to recognize/load the USB disk? Im asking from you because I dont want to do anything stupid at this point. Thanks for the help! :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306921-a-new-mainboard-how-to-proceed-with-el-capitan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laavuska Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Well, I got it working by just using legacy boot loader for the USB instead.

lpranal Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Just curious if everything is working for you in el Capitan - I have the same board - is there anything special you had to do to get it up and running?
