Now, I understand it has nothing to do with DP9claude wrote:Wow Thanks Aramis!
As soon as my Apple Hardware Test(Long) is finished i'll check the serial number.
Hope i'm part of that recall because as i said in my last post, now i can't even see the drive. Even Disk Utility doesn't see it.

Whatever that trick was, not a good idea to do it again.claude wrote:A GLYPH GPT 50 2TB using the USB 3 Connection.
I tried a trick to make the Recovery HD reappear and now the whole Internal drive has disappeared...
Even if i boot from the GLYPH i can't see the internal Drive anywhere!!
I'm running an extended hardware test as we speak i'll see if the Drive is physically damaged...
Thanks!

Could you please expand a little on that, Mike?mikehalloran wrote:That still doesn't make cloning a boot drive a good idea for any reason other than archive.
One should reinstall the OS to create the partition and fix certain issues caused by cloning a boot drive.
No. That will erase the repair portion.claude wrote: What would be the easiest way to get back to business once i get my iMac back? Clone everything back to the new drive?
No reason to do that.Or maybe i should bite the bullet and reinstall everything?
