I've been working on this for a while, and I'm stumped. What's my next troubleshooting step??
Finder has been having issues over the past week or so, and last night my computer froze. I rebooted and got a flashing folder w/question mark: can't find startup disk. So I restarted holding Option to get to Startup Manager - only disk was "EFI Boot" (no Recovery Disk, no HD). Selected EFI Boot, nothing. Back to the flashing question mark.
Tried loading into Recovery Mode (command + r), no dice. Just goes to question mark again.
Created a USB Recovery Disk, then tried loading in recovery, tried loading startup manager, nothing different.
Reset the PRAM (option+command+p+r)…no change.
Reseated RAM…no change.
Maybe it's a failed hard drive? Nope. Replaced it, still nothing.
What am I missing?? I don't know what to do next.
