Hi,

Got Catalina 15.2 and noticed that my Windows disks are just ignored and not present in disk utility and even my fat32 usb disks don't show up at all! Checked the usb port with my usb keyboard and that works so the port works but not mount any disks.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you
zip and upload your clover folder
 
Ok will do in ten minutes though I think it could be because I have RST enabled in bios as my Z270-WS has two m.2 ssd disks in raid 0 running Windows. Though I have a Sata disk as well which doesn’t show up either. Perhaps that sata disk is behind the raid controller and thus is hidden? Maybe need Sata controller card. Still doesn’t explain why my USB disk drives don’t mount..

Will post clover folder next. Thank you so much.

Attached my clover folder.

Don't want to give up my raid. Think will buy SATA card for the lone sata drive I have.

Thanks
