Why does my internal sata drive not show up after restart?
I run a dual boot system (Mavericks / Sierra), both on a dedicated internal SSD in a cheese grater Mac Pro 2009 (Firmware 2010). I bought a new internal HDD (Western Digital WD Black 4TB) for Libraries / Samples.
After starting the Mac all disks show up, but if I choose to restart from the other system-drive the Western Digital Disk doesn’t mount and it’s not shown in the disk utility, too.
I have to shut the Mac down. Then after rebooting all disks are back again. Also, if I do a restart but not changing the startup disk the disk comes up without problems. So the problem only occurs by doing a restart by switching the system drive.
Previously I run in the same drive bay a 1TB WD HDD with 1 TB without problems.
Does someone have any advice how to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance and all the best
Mac Pro 2010, MacBook Pro
Questa è una buona domanda?
Are you sure you have Sierra Vs High Sierra on your system?

You flashed the EFI from 4,1 to 5,1? Did you ever get the 4TB formatted?

@Dan: Yes, absolutely ;-)
@mayer: I made the firmware upgrade to 5,1. There was no problem to get the drive formatted (Journaled / GUID Partition Map)

Did you do the upgrade using Dos Dude method or another way?

I did the firmware upgrade using the "Mac Pro 2009-2010 Firmware Tool"
