Was the Bootcamp info.plist modified on this Mac? How was the OS installed when the original disk drive failed?
Can you click on System Report -> SATA/SATA Express and PCI to see if your internal drive shows up? Do you have more than one physical drive in this machine?
Do you see any partitions (volumes) on the internal disk?
There is a 15" non-Retina and a Retina model for 2012. Do you have the non-Retina model?
Can you post the output of the following commands?
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
No i do not have more than one physical disk drive.
But when the other one fail i just put in the new hard drive and install lion then i had to install Yosemite.
No not that i see
& i have a Non retina
Can you check System Report -> Model Identifier of the machine?
Can you verify Disk Permissions via Disk Utility?
Boot Camp Assistant cannot be use
