Hi this is a complicated problem I know but I am looking for some guidance.
I will walk you through what happened.
I am running a Mac Pro 2010 tower and inside I have all 4 HDD slots used. I was using one of these drives for about a month without taking it out of the case. Then I decided to take it with me to the office, something I do quite often with all of my drives.
So I loaded the Drive (and another drive) into my external 2-Bay RAID tower. When I got to my office I plugged the tower in (to an iMac) and turned it on, but I forgot to check what RAID setup I was using. It was in RAID 0 mode so it did not recognize my two separate drives (makes sense) so I switched it to JBOD mode so that I could use them as separate drives (which they are) but it wont boot the image on the drives now.
Since this I have taken them out of the external 2 bay drive and put them both into my Mac Pro tower and they are doing the same thing.
I am thinking maybe when I booted them in RAID 0 Mode the Raid card did something to the drive but I cannot figure out what it was or how to reverse it.
Any help would be amazing, or another forum were my question might be answered would be great too.
Thanks a lot everybody and keep posting!
