“You should format your disks with GUID partition tables.
"MacOS on Intel will only boot from a drive with a GUID partition table, and Windows systems from 2005 on can read/write these disks but can only boot from them on systems with UEFI (instead of a BIOS). Searching around for info I have found this answer from 2016 in Quora (full text in next message screenshot): I would very much appreciate some help/hints. I guess the solution is easy and at the tip of fingers. Of all the distros I have tested/reviewed up to now, by far I like CL the most, it is fast, zippy, slim, and its package management is oriented to my area of interest, ML/AI.

I see that the scheme used by CL to install itself on the HD is FAT, normally MACs are GUID and work better with it. My wild, non-expert guess, is that it may have something to do with the partition scheme. I am, what some would call a very, very advanced user, but by no means a computer/IT specialist. I am testing several live distros and I have installed them also to the HD, so I am sure the Mac is in perfect working conditions. Therefore it is effectively installed on the HD, but for some reason the Mac does not see the HD when booting. I have rebooted with the live CL USB and seen with the Disks utility that the partitions on the HD have been made and CL has installed itself to the HD. When at startup I try to choose in the boot menu which source to boot from there is no source to choose, no HD. Seems like it finds nothing, no HD where to boot from. All with zero issues during the install.Īfter installing, when I try to boot the from the HD all I get is a white screen with a directory folder icon flashing with a question mark.

I have installed CL to the HD following the live CL GUI steps for a full clean install (no partition sharing with other OS, etc). But when after installing it to the HD I try to boot from the HD I can not, the HD has “dissapeared”. I have created a live CL USB and used it without issues.
