Hi all
I have fitted a 2nd SSD into my Mini (late 2012) using the iFixit kit. This disk is second hand and has been used in a Windows PC and a MBP 2010. I am having some problems getting OSX to see the disk.
When the disk was moved from a Macbook into the Windows PC I remember Windows complaining this disk was GPT configured and needing changing to a MBR. I cannot remember what I did to get this to work but I converted it somehow.
Now I have taken it out of the Windows PC and put it into the Mini.
I can boot the Mac using the option key and using a Windows 8 USB bootdisk boot Windows and use DiskPart to see and manipulate the disk. So there is not a hardware failure.
I have used Diskpart to clean the disk, convert it from GPT to MBR and back again, create a partition, etc etc. However, I simply cannot get OSX to see the disk at all. Disk utility simply does not see the disk.
I am pulling my hair out with what to do next. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks
