rMBP doesn't boot from USB
Hi there,
I have a very unusual and bizzarre problem here.
My MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X 10.9.5 , doesn't boot from USB stick or DVD (using USB SuperDrive).
I have create a bootable USB stick (and DVD) to install Yosemite, following the multiple online guide but despite the USB is perfect (I recreated multiple times and tested) it doesn't boot at all from USB, pressing Option it presents only Internatl HardDsik and Recover (from Mavericks).
I tried my USB from another MBP 13" (not retina) and it works fine.
More bizzarre, I did a clone of my HD using SuperDuper and I can boot from that disk.
So at this stage :
I proved that USB sticks work fine (my other MBP 13" 10.9.5 , shows it when I press ALT during the boot phase)
I proved that my USB ports works fine because I can boot from the close I have created with SuperDuper
I guess is a problem of boot files so I have upgraded to Yosemite (nice I like it) and tried to create again the bootable USB stick and again it work fine on MBP 13" no retina but it doesn't work at all on my MBP retina !
Browsing on Internet I have found an article on a blog where the author was telling that on rMBP there was another version of Mavericks to install not taken by Apple Store but downloadable from a URL...I didn't go deep on that article but it seems really that something could be true.
I would like do a fresh new installation of Yosemite without looking for this "unknown" Mavericks version just to create a new bootable USB and reinstall...and in any I am not able to find that article :-(
Anyone has any idea ?
Many thanks in advance for your help
