If you mapped your USB ports why are you still using the USBInjectAll.kext. If done properly you should have generated a couple of SSDT files and a Port kext to use as a better choice instead of USBInfect All (See the App Hackintool- easy to do with instructions). On the problem of external disk not being recognised, I think you mean 'Hot Plug/Swop', you probably need to apply a patch to facilitate this feature and then go into the BIOS and enable that particular port for that feature. Try enabling the 'Hot Plug' to the port in the BIOS first without the patch, it may work. Good luck.
So I removed USBInjectAll and replaced with USBPorts.kext, although no difference. I couldn't figure out how to enable the 'Hot Plug' in BIOS. Can you elaborate?
I should just say that all my USB ports work and seem to be configured correctly when I use other devices (mouses, keyboards, audio interface, etc.) but my External HD is not recognized no matter what usb port I use.
Thanks for your help. I've applied that patch and enabled hot plug in my bios, but still not recognition. Weird because the external drive shows up in my BIOS, just not in OSX. Any other thoughts? Could it be a hardware issue?Use Clover Configurator to apply the patch - see the patch I posted in this link - Any KextToPatch for SATA Hot-Plug ? | tonymacx86.com

I enabled hot plug for all unused sata ports, then tried plugging the external drives into my usb ports, but it didn't recognize it.Did you go into the BIOS and enable 'Hot Plug' for that particular port? You need to that otherwise it will not work.
I have the Catalina port limit removal patch, have correct SSDT (I think), USBInjectAll in my kexts folder, but its not recognizing my external HD. Weird because it was working last week. Posted my EFI. Can anyone help?
