How to Fix Not able to see other USB devices, nor internal storage devices when in disk utility

Boot failures are most commonly caused by firmware settings, incorrect OpenCore configuration, or USB mapping problems.

Quick Fix Steps

1. Boot verbose: Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to see where the boot process stops.
2. Check firmware: Disable Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and CFG Lock; set SATA to AHCI; enable UEFI mode.
3. Validate OpenCore: Run ocvalidate or ProperTree clean snapshot to catch config errors.
4. Recreate installer: Use a fresh USB drive and try a different USB port.

Verification

• Verbose boot passes the previous stopping point.
• The installer sees the target disk.
• Keyboard and mouse work during recovery.

Original Question: "Not able to see other USB devices, nor internal storage devices when in disk utility"

Hello everyone, I have successfully booted up using opencore but when I'm in disk utility, it doesn't show up any USB devices nor my internal SSD I am running a Broadwell 5500 Dell laptop so BIOS configuration isn't that manipulatable, I already installed USBInjectAll.kext and patched up the EHC1 and XHC1 acpi's..not too sure what to do from here, kinda stumped. I feel like I'm missing something simple. Please let me know what you recommend, I can provide any needed files. Thank you! https://preview.redd.it/zng1sazcmnn51.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29e789e7e0cd34a2fc4aea6191edf3d891c5b3ee submitted by /u/chriseg93 [link] [comments]
