I bought a new SSD and installed it. I had some problems sending my old ssd stuff to the new one (everything was copied but the machine wouldn't boot normally). Then when I was formatting it, i tried switching from NFTS to HFS and did like 3-4 formats in less than 1 minute. This created some kind of problem in the ssd that now the machine will not boot no matter what I try. I tried holding option, command + r, shift, etc. all kinds of booting combinations but no boot (just the apple sound but the grey screen stays on, no information of any kind is presented).
I tried booting from a DVD, also no dice. I have OSX in an external USB HD drive that I can boot from but it will not allow me to boot from there when the new SSD is on
It looks like there is some kind of bad formatting going on in the SSD and this is making the initial booting procedures go into some kind of infinite loop. Anyone know what is the solution? I don't have another mac to plug my mac to (just another regular PC laptop), nor I have an adapter to plug the SSD in another machine
I thought about removing the SSD, starting to boot from the external HD and then plugging the SSD with the mac turned on (to avoid the looping issue at the start) but that sounds so risky I might only do it as a last resort
Its a Macbook pro 15 late 2013, so its a PCIex SSD with a proprietary connector
