Hello all ,
Desperately hoping someone can help me here. I built a customac several years ago and it worked great. I updated to high sierra about a year ago and again , it worked very smoothly. A few days ago it had trouble booting and started to hang on gigabyte splash screen. I couldn't get anywhere and none of the alt boot keys worked. I figured after much reading that the only option was to reinstall high sierra.
I used the usb stick toshiba 8 gb which I had used successfully last year but when I went to boot from it , I could not. Still hung on splash screen. I decided to make a new boot loader so erased the stick and downloaded unibeast 8.4. However Unibeast could not see the drive at all.
I got a new drive a 16gb sandisk and that worked fine although I will mention it took about 20 minutes to install.I selected Uefi rather than legacy. I think that was right. I was unsure whether to use Guid or MBR and went with guide that said Guid. All went fine. However when I tried to boot from flash drive I got boot0:error. Cannot get past this. I forgot to mention I did get the old stick to work once and re-installed high sierra but everything seemed to go pear shaped then. I also tired resetting cmos? in mobo. So now I am in a pickle.
Couple of other points. The old drive is recogised by unibeast if I change guid to mbr. However doesn't show up at all in boot loader menu when I try it. Very frustrated here. Been at this all day yesterday and this morning. I am sure it's something simple but I know only the basics.
These are my specs.. I am pretty sure I have the bios set up correctly.
