Hackintosh does not recognize external hard drive

[RowenDJ]

Hello,

I have a problem with my hackintosh, in the last days, I don't know why but is very slower to recognize any external hard drive that I plug on, or directly does not recognize them.

That only happens with external hard drives, no normal USB, and is not problem of external hdd because I tested the hdd's on iMac, MacBook Pro and a windows PC and they detected the HDD'S correctly.

I use external HDD'S by Western Digital, to be more exactly the My Passport Ultra and Ultra Metal.

I re-installed all the kexts with Multibeast but nothing.

How I can solve that?

Config.plist attached

Thanks!

Thanks! It worked after restart the hackintosh, but only at the first time that I plug on the external hard drive, after unplug and plug again I have the same problem

Thanks for the help, I have a problem now and is that I changed a parameter of the config with clover configurator and now I can't reach the desktop, the apple logo stays without show the loading bar.

How can I solve that?

What did you change ?
Boot in verbose mode to see what the problem is.
Try booting in safe mode.
Try booting from your USB installer.

On Clover Configurator at Acpi section I marked the: FixUSB, FixSATA and other that I no remember.

If I boot on safe mode I can't reach the desktop, same problem, no loading bar appears.

attached is the photo of the problem.

I have a backup from the config file, I will make a new bootable usb and try to boot from there, almost 1 year have the hackintosh so I deleted the bootable usb when all was fine

If you can't boot then there is not a great deal that you can do to fix it.

Incidentally why are you using NullCPUPowerManagement.kext ?
