New SSDS do not mount on MBP 2012 Recovery Mode

I replace the HD on a 2012 model 9.2 MBP with an OWC 6 G SSD. I ran a backup Time Machine on the HD 500 G original and then swapped the drive. I can't get the new SSD to appear in Recovery Mode to format it and install OS X I have tried with the original disc connected in an external box, even with the Time Machine backup drive and I tried with no externally attached at all. (Continued on the upgrade command instructions on the site of OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/articles/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-your-old-drive - to-a-new-reader) Then, I removed the SSD of MBP and attached to my Mac Mini in an external enclosure. It mounted fine and I was able to format. So I ruled out a faulty SSD. Then I restarted the MBP with original HD installed and the SSD connected via external enclosure. Run utility disc and formatted the SSD drive. Close all again and replace the SSD in the MBP. Started in Recovery Mode to install OS X and the drive does not appear.

Currently of ideas. I rechecked all the components and all should be fully compatible.

Ideas?

Started in Recovery Mode to install OS X and the drive does not appear.

You mean the restoration of the Internet (Command + Option + R)? Recovery mode is command + R, and since you do not have an operating system on your new SSD HD Recovery wouldn't be here.

  • XPS M1530 with new SSD will not identify adapter WLAN 1395

    I just bought a new SSD 128 GB for my old workhorse XPS M1530, installed a clean VISTA Ultimate 32 bit OS since the original DVD supplied with the laptop.  Everything works except the wireless 1395 adapter.

    I know that the material of the wifi card is good, because wifi still works when I put the old 64 GB SSD back in. I use the same version of WLAN driver on the new facility.  Device Manager indicates that the adapter is installed and working properly.  Yet the computer with the new SSD does not recognize that the wireless network adapter is installed and activated.

    I use the WLAN driver and BIOS version recommended Support Dell for my service number.  These are the same versions that I have on the former SSDS.

    I'm tempted to reformat the new SSD and start all over again, but that takes a lot of time to reinstall everything. And I wouldn't waste 10 GB on the new SSD to install the recovery partition on the new SSD which lies on the former SSDS and do a restore on the new SSD.  I have more certain supplied software preinstalled on your laptop.

    I made an another clean install of the operating system on the new SSD, and this time, I found and used the Drivers and Utilities of original disc that came with the laptop to install the DELL software system utility first.  That did the trick, because when I installed the drivers of that era, the WLAN 1395 works.

    Now I have a space wasting a 22 Gb Windows.old directory, but I am happy.  I'm going to reformat the drive in the morning then it is plugged to my laptop in an external USB SATA drive enclosure and start with a clean car and redo the OS install again, this time properly.

    It's a bit ironic that the DELL system software utility has not been showing available for my service on the support.dell.com site tag.

    Lesson learned.  I'll post tomorrow how the last OS install goes on the SSD clean and new.

  • iPhone not recognized by iTunes in recovery mode

    Hello

    I have disabled my iPhone by entering the password wrong too many times.

    I do not have a reliable PC, so it makes things a little more difficult. The device is not (ask for the trusted PC) when it is connected normally but does not offer the option to restore the default values. She however does not recognize the device when it is in Recovery Mode.

    I checked my drivers, all the required software are installed, I use an original with port 2.0 usb cable (I also plugged my iPad who trusted the PC and checked another iPhone that is not disabled and both work)

    I followed apple for iPhone reset guide, but it does not go past the stage where iTunes should appear a window with the option to update or restore the device

    Someone at - he encountered this problem before? Any thoughts?

    I asked a friend who works in an Apple repair shop and he has not encountered this problem before.

    Thank you!

    Try DFU

    Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.

    Turn off the device.

    Hold the Power button for 3 seconds.

    Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds.

    Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button.

    After that 15 seconds, you will be alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode.

    If this does not work, try the old way of doing the recovery mode

    Launch iTunes

    Connect the USB cable to the PC, but NOT on the iPhone

    Turn the iPhone off

    Hold the "home" button

    Connect the cable

    Keep now "home" button until you get the iTunes icon and the cable on the screen of the iPhone

    Restore as a new

    Hope that helps

  • Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 - new SSD is not recognized in the BIOS settings

    Hello

    I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 2-8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250 GB.
    When I try to install the SSD drive rather my drive HARD, the BIOS show 'none' in the category of SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).

    Please help me.
    My bios version is: 2.00
    someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so perhaps someone here can send me a download link for version 1.2 of my model L50 - B - 2-8.
    Thank you

    someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V

    And who? I mean you are sure that this person was right?
    From my point of view of the few there is no reason why beginning version BIOS should recognize the SSD and the latest version of the BIOS is not...

    But BIOS v1.2 for series Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 PSKTQE there is no v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and previous versions of BIOS are not available for this series.

    Also, I guess you must slimply check different SSD drive... it might be possible that the other SSD drive would be recognized correctly.

    By the way: I am owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as I remember, I had to update the firmware of the SSD drive to use it correctly in my other laptop (not the Toshiba device)

  • New SSD is not showing in disk management, but does in the BIOS

    I just got a brand new CS1311 PNY 240 GB SSD at Amazon, and I hooked all with Y Molex connector and plug the sata cable in the third free port.  I went to format and partition so I can start adding games, but it does not appear.  I then stopped and went into the BIOS and it turns out that there is in the third SATA port.  But not in disk management.  Any ideas?  The third SATA port is not intended for a storage drive?  Should I change the SSD in ports SATA and the blu - ray player?  Manufacturing of blu - ray 3 instead of 2 port and the port of the SSD 2 instead of 3?

    I'm not trying to install windows on it or start with him, I just format and partition.  I want to just use it for games.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I have it.  Change port SATA worked.

  • New SSD does not-Satellite C55 - A - 1DC guard reboot

    Hello

    Since 2 days I have the Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1 ms.

    I couldn't get used to Windows 8 and found the drive to slow down. So I formatted the disc ssd of my old laptop, so it was clean and empty and then put it in my new Satellite.

    Once I put it on the bios in MSC mode I managed to install Windows 7 64 bit.
    Installation went fine but now guard restarting my laptop.
    To power up, I see the Toshiba screen, after a black screen runs, then screen Toshiba still followed by screen black etc etc etc keeps going like that.

    I tried to install windows with AHCI mode and compatibility mode.

    The SSD is a Sam + ung 840 series 120 GB.
    Worked fine in my old A + er sucks (got 3.5 years ago)
    so I just assumed it would work also in this Satellite.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem, otherwise I have to share in this laptop for another cause of the brand, I have an ssd inside.

    Kind regards

    To be honest, I see no reason why this is happening. Have you tried to install Win7 once more? If Yes, the same thing happens again and again?

  • HP Elitebook 8560w: new SSD has NOT copied the partition HP_TOOLS... ?

    Do I need? How can I get them on the SSD?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Nope. If it were, it would not work without them. Check and see if you can get into diagnostics UEFI tapping F2 you power up. I would check that. No need to run the computer, but you never miss it until you need it if you have a possible hardware problem. There is a program downloaded UEFI, you can install if necessary. There is no download Windows 10 but UEFI 8.1 Windows should work:

  • I can not fire first aid in Recovery Mode

    I upgraded to Sierra this afternoon. Because I'm disorder obsessive-compulsive, I ran first aid on Macintosh HD, despite the quite well running system. Said disk utility it found corruption, and should I run first aid in Recovery Mode. I restart, press command + R and go into Recovery Mode. I open disk utility, but I can't select "Macintosh HD" to perform first aid. It is grayed out.

    How can I select Macintosh HD in Recovery Mode to run first aid?

    When mode of recovery, that on the mac? (Apple menu, about this mac)

  • Failed to install the new SSD on OSX support!

    Hello!

    I'd be happy if anyone of you could help me out here!

    I have questions, try to install a new own OSX on a new SSD on my Macbook Pro mid-2012.

    I have done this before on an Evo 840 500 GB Samsung without problems.
    This time, I use a Samsung Evo 850 1 TB, but when I try to install OSX it won't let me.

    I use (command + R to start) recovery mode and as a first step in disk utility, I couldn't format the new SSD in Mac OS x journaled, it just stopped at 50%.
    Then, I swapped the SSD for a normal (Non - SSD) hard drive, installed OS x on this drive without problem and formatted the SSD drive in disk utility on this new OSX on the HARD drive regularly after putting the SSD drive in an external enclosure.

    After that, I swapped for the formatted SSD HARD drive, but I still cannot install OSX. In disk utility from recovery mode it is said "not mounted" under the mount in the info Point. I tried the strength to mount it in a Terminal too, but it will not be displayed as installable disk mounted when you run OSX installation.

    Help greatly appreciated!

    The SSD will appear in disk utility when it is connected to the MBP via USB?  If so, format it in disk and Carbon Copy Cloner utility to copy the internal HARD drive to external SSD.

    When you are finished, test the SSD by starting the MBP with the option key down key, and then click the SSD.  If she starts the MBP, then swap in the MBP.  If it does NOT then the MBP, internal SATA cable is suspect and should be replaced.

    Ciao.

  • Tecra Z50 - C - 12F M.2 SSD replacement not detected

    Hi all

    I just received a new Z50-C-12F and wanted to replace the 256GB SSD with a more wholesale (Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB m2)

    Unfortunately, the new SSD is not detected at startup, but I don't understand why.
    The original SSD is a Samsung MZ-NTY2560 (B & M-button) a new is a key of M, but this is the connector to the laptop.

    I tried to adjust the UEFI to MSC (default is UEFI (Legacy)) in the BIOS but even boot from a DVD of magic parted shows no signs of new SSD.

    TIA,

    Steve

    I tried a second new m2 (Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB m2) and still no sign of recognition.

    Any thoughts?
