Q: New SSD (internally only) won't complete boot into OS X El Capitan
Hello!
So I've been trying to get this samsung evo 850 500GB to run el capitan but it hasn't worked.
I tried everything from internet recovery to downloading the OS from the app store.
The problem I am facing is that I installed the OS while it's attached by USB, I even got it to boot from the USB drive and everything is ok.
When I installed the SSD into the internal bay (took out the old HD), it just won't boot into the system.
I can see the SSD from the drive selection, the apple screen will show and will boot, but before it finishes it slows down at the end and stays there for roughly 10 minutes and freezes and gives me that caller warning screen.
But when I take the SSD and put it in the external drive and boot from USB it works fine.
I read that the internal SATA cable might be the problem but I don't want to go there, because I don't live in the states so shipping a cable will take ~1+ week so...
I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Help
