[QUOTE="SweetCosmicPope, post: 1579992, member: 135923"] Hey guys, my apologies if this was posted already, but I can't find anything with a search on here or google. I just upgraded my HDD with a 1TB SSHD. I confirmed it was bootable after cloning the HD in Disk Utilities. I was able to boot from the device via USB. However, when I moved the new drive into the internal slot, it wasn't recognized. Fearful that I'd busted the delicate SATA cable, I quickly replaced the drive with the old drive and it booted right up. I swapped them back and forth several times, but the new drive only every showed up as bootable if it was plugged into the USB slot. Did I do something wrong? Help! [/QUOTE]
