Hello!
Solution: Reflashed to 10.08 with the drive in. Still not booting.
Reflashed again, using a different key- BOOTED!
W00T!
Thanks for the assist. Marked Solved.
Solution: Ensure usb key formatted to Fat32, format it again, don't flash bios unless you actually need to, and most of all- with this particular board and multiple hard drives, do not update bios to 10.10.
I've had this issue with the "Reboot and Select Proper..." since I did a bios update (cause I'm an idiot.) to 10.10 on my Z77A-GD65 board. Until the update, I had no issues booting.
Previous bios unknown (cause I'm an idiot).
Primary Drive (Sata 3 Intel Port) - 128GB Kingston SSD (Windows 8)
Secondary Drive (Sata 3 Intel Port) - 120 GB Kingston SSD (OSX 10.8.3)
Tertiary Drives: Seagate 1TB (D drive, Problem drive) Port 3 - Sata 2
Seagate 1TB (OSX storage) - Sata 2
Seagate 500GB (OSX backup) - Sata 2
I've checked (and then replaced) connectors, power lines (modular P/S). The system _will_ boot with the secondary (D drive) disconnected and I have hotswap enabled, so I've found a workaround in that I ground myself off on the case and when the Win Logo shows up, I reconnect the drive. The issue with that (other than my fat-a$$ climbing under a desk each time to disconnect and reconnect a drive) is that my case is open and this is an "always on" (I travel and stream to my iPad) PC, so sometimes BitDefender, Windows Update or "Other" force a reboot where my drive is connected and fails to boot- leaving the message about proper boot device on screen for hours, potentially days when I'm out of town.
This issue seems similiar to another on the forum here: http://www.eightforums.com/installa...ect-proper-boot-device-insert-boot-media.html Other than it's not my boot device itself with the issue.
I've tested by disconnecting all drives except the WIN SSD, it boots, adding in one drive at a time, it boots- until I plug the D drive. Same for the OSX side- all drives are fine, but OSX bootloader won't load if the D Drive is connected- Insert Media or ....
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Thoughts?
