New SSD now recognized as a startup disk
I have a new Samsung EVO 850 500 GB SSD and was able to partition and install the OS, but it won't be found as a startup disk.
It's connected externally through one of the USB ports, And I'm able to do everything in disk utility as expected. Tried creating a new partition, verifying, and repairing the disk, then installing OS, but it still won't be recognized.
My old hard drive crashed, and I figured I could do a clean installation of the SSD before I try to recover the HDD
