Hello!
First i have to describe my set-up: 1 SSD (El Capitan)+ 1 HDD (Data for El Capitan's SSD) and another 1TB HDD i used for Windows 10.
I have tried to install Sierra 10.12.1 on the 1TB HDD.
I followed all the following instructions https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.200564/ and as i have the same motherboard and processor (but no Graphic card so i didn't select any option as i only have the Intel HD3000) i stuck to this one for Multibeast config https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...er-ga-z68x-ud3h-b3-v1-3-2500k-gtx-680.204010/
Now i have a very strange problem:
first boot with Unibeast USB went very well, everything worked even better than with my El Capitan SSD (have some graphic glitches and videos issues) so i thought Post install would be painless on the HDD.
When i tried to reboot after the Multibeast Post Install i was stuck to Gigabyte first screen (with options: f12 etc.).
Worst, i couldn't and still can't select any option to try enter the BIOS or select another drive to boot.
I can only disconnect the 1TB HDD and then i can boot in my SSD with El Capitan or go check the BIOS.
As soon as i reconnect the HDD with Sierra (that never rebooted after Multibeast) i'm stuck again and can't get anything beyond the welcoming Gigabyte screen.
I tried all the alternatives: tried the problematic HDD alone (disconnecting all other drives), or with the SSD, or with the other HDD (data for El Capitan), i switched Sata connectors, tried with the USB plugged in with all the above configurations possible= same result, with the Sierra HDD connected i can't do anything.
How can i try to recover the Sierra HDD? it is acting like a "short-circuit" and i am clueless about regaining access to it (to reformate etc.).
Thanks for any help, i read a lot on the forum but didn't find anything similar to this.
