Now back to the problem, now after cloning the main drive has disappeared from the boot list and so has the external hdd. I then decided to clone the USB files to the main ssd using CCC and then I installed chimera on to make it bootable.Īs a note for some reason when I needed to boot from the USB hdd I needed to enter the bios setup and exit for the external hdd to appear on the boot list, was this seen by anyone else. So I thought this might have to do with the fact that I was still running the os of the USB hdd. I installed the Wacom drivers and then attempted to put the the device to sleep and then wake, this failed to work and the top power light simply stayed on and the only way to fix it was to hold it down and restart. I have got through most of the installation with no hiccups. So, you can enter BIOS by F2 button as normally.Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide This will flash over the BIOS with the same version resetting all settings. Also, you may check "SFlash64 -help" for help.

They contain the ROM and the SFlash64.exe utility, and some other files required for flashing.ģ) Run cmd.exe as an Administrator and run this exe from copied files **SFlash64 /n /s /sa /ips /exit /file P07RAC.rom** (notice, here "P07RAC" not "P05RAJ). I copied the files before closing the program. The program decompresses several files to "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\_Samsung_Update" The program refuses to update the BIOS because it is the latest version, and then deletes the files. If you have a different notebook, the file name should be something like that, so, keep Googling your needed «ITEM_._version.exe».Ģ) Run the file "ITEM_20130402_1070_WIN_P05RAJ.exe". It offered "ITEM_20130402_1070_WIN_P05RAJ.exe" (I don't know, why there is "RAJ" not "RAC", but this is for NP300E5).

We are going to reflash the same version P07RAC, but without Samsung BIOS update utility.ġ) Open the BIOS update tool from Samsung. What your aim should be: **to reset all BIOS settings to default**. if you disconnect any HDD - your notebook is just stuck in endless bootloop (you see Samsung logo-F2-for-BIOS-F4-for-Recovery, 3-2-1, reboot). shorting RTC reset, BIOS crisis contacts gives no effect (contacts next to RAM on the motherboard), you can't update BIOS by Samsung BIOS update utility, because you have already got the latest version (utility stops working saying this), you can't enter to BIOS by pressing F2, but you can enter Windows Recovery Mode (F4 or F10, nothing interesting here to solve the issue), I have changed something in BIOS (I guess something to do with secure boot or UEFI, anyway I don't know what's the difference, sorry) and it was impossible to enter to BIOS by F2 button. I had the same problem with my old Samsung NP300E5X (NP300) (BIOS version P07RAC).
