snoop-tom Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hello.I have an issue when trying to install El Capitan.When i boot on my installation USB key, i go to the disk utility to format my SSD.On disk utility, on the left, i don't see any of my sata drive listed, so i can't format it ! All my BIOS settings seems to be on the recommended values. I used the Clover OS X El Capitan USB topic to create my usb key. I used the config.plist in attachment.Any clue on any fix ?Thank you for your help My conf : motherboard : Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 3 CPU : Intel Core i7 4790K Graphics : Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Mini - 4 Go config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 When you choose the USB stick, you select in UEFI mode? E.g: The name "UEFI" appears in USB stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Frio Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi @chris1111..I saw in your "magic config" you put only "fake LPC"= true... could be this? from :clover zetam" "FakeLPC_0020Changes the device-id for the LPC chipset device. Needed in very rare cases for non-standard (for Apple) chipsets, like ICH9." yours "<key>FakeLPC_2670</key> <true/>" 'cause I have an ga z97x ud3 with the same issue...and I spare it to install win as IDE instead AHCI option was working.. c.frio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
