![]() I have an old 2008 Mac Pro and also a 2011 Mac mini, if those can be useful in anyway to solving this issue I have. I've tried formatting USB keys and hard drives in different ways but keep getting the missing firmware partition message on anything I do. This setting can be changed in the computers BIOS, under Integ. If it is set to IDE (Legacy) or RAID, the firmware updater will not be able to see the drive. ![]() The Windows-based firmware updater for OWC SSDs requires that the SATA controller be set to AHCI. Is there anyway I can get High Sierra installed via a USB or external hard drive so the firmware partition updates, so I can then see the new Auro Pro X2 480gb SSD and install new system on to it? Aura and Mercury SSDs: Windows Firmware Updater Not Recognized. Edit : OWC has published a firmware update (beta as of this writing) for their OWC Aura 6G SSDs which purports to deal with this very issue. But now its got the same icon as the original one. I try to install High Sierra on to, been it a USB key or an external hard drive etc. I think this is part of the reason the update process was so complicatedthe Mac knew this drive was an impostor of sorts. I know the Aura Pro X2 requires High Sierra as the previous system so the firmware updates via the Macbook Air.īut for some reason whenever I try to install High Sierra using a bootable installer via the Macbook Air, I get an error message stating that the computer is missing firmware partition on any device. Basically I am trying to install a brand new Aura Pro X2 480gb SSD into a Macbook Air 2014, the original apple SSD has failed and is not seen by the Macbook Air.
