First, here is my build.
Gigabyte Ga-x79s-up5-wifi x79
Intel i7 3930k
Corsair Vengeance 32gb LP 1600mhz
EVGA Nvidia Geforce Gtx 670 4gb
Samsung 840 Series 120gb ssd
Corsair Hydro H80i
Corsair HX 1050 watt
So this is my first build and everything was working fine....
I had osx installed and running, i installed a few adobe apps and final cut, i had the audio and everything working.
i bought another ssd (same kind, only it was 240gb instead of 120) that i was going to raid0 with the other ssd. i tried plugging in my usb that i used to boot before, and i was going to go into disk utility after it booted, raid the hds, then install osx on to the raid, and then reboot.
it wasnt recognizing the usb as a boot, so i unplugged my 120gb ssd to see if it would pick it up then and it did not, and then when i plugged the ssd back in, it wasnt recognizing that either.
so i set the defaults back in my bios and tried again, nothing.
finally i found the boot option setting and i could choose the samsung 120 gb ssd (the usb was still plugged in, but did not show up as a recognizable boot option) so i chose the ssd and not the chimera screen will show up with my boot drive on it, but when i hit enter, the screen will flash and then reboot and load back into chimera again.
i have no idea how to fix this. i am a noob lol. i thought i was doing pretty good so far, and have found answers to all my problems so far, but i havent found any posts on this subject.
any help would be greatly appreciated and if anything that i said above doesnt make sense just leave a comment and i will try to explain it better.
thank you for reading!
