[QUOTE="Trevstonbury, post: 1832899, member: 403443"] Hi Rod! The Transcend USB device strangely is the only external USB device that the Mac picks up, I don't know why, though this was the drive the time machine backups were taken with. It does show it as a boot option if I hold the Option key. The Mac isn't mine, one of the things I tried to do is use EASEUS to clone the old HDD to the SSD, the clone was successful but it won't boot, just get a white screen with directory icon and ? symbol.... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
