bpotter Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'm at a stopping point on my Sierra installation. Important system info: Gigabyte x58-UD3R v2.0 FH OCZ Vertex 3 SSD - Plugged into port 0 BIOS set to optimized defaults (see attached files) Using ##### / clover set to legacy mode What's happening / the steps: I boot from USB stick to Sierra installer I can see the SSD and format it I install Sierra on the SSD I reboot from USB I do not see SSD as an option on the screen for the second phase of completing the installation of Sierra from the SSD (see attached image) What I have done: Plugged drive in every port Installed Clover to a new USB stick with a variety of settings / themes Attempted multiple configurations using Clover Configurator I don't know what else I need to do to complete the installation and install a bootloader on the SSD. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you.

Allan Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hello, and welcome at InsanelyMac Maybe is a problem in the installer itself. We don't know how Tonymac tools works, read here why: VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ! (ABOUT TONYMACX86 AND iATKOS M / Y) Why InsanelyMac does not support tonymacx86 But, if you want 100% support, you can use our methods. Making a 10.10/10.11 USB Installer /w Clover (UEFI and Legacy) the correct way!

J Lamp Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'm running multiple SSDs on my X58a-UD7. You just have to be sure that you install Clover for a legacy boot (make sure it updates the MBR when you install it.) Make sure that all the drive ports in the bios are set to AHCI (very important.)
