It seems that sometimes when trying to make a drive connection in order to boot from a drive of any kind can be a difficult problem to resolve especially for a newcomer like myself.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of standalone utility that could test possible drive connections in different ways that could make booting possible whether it is bios or efi. Perhaps it could give a report for what it sees as far as booting. It wouldn't even have to completely boot up and could list a report for what it saw. I was thinking about this with some problems I had in booting from a thumb drive. It turned out that the problem was that the attribute pdrv was set up to a partition label and instead required the UUID.
Has anyone ever developed something like this as a tester for what works to connect to drives to make them boot? I'm just wondering. I don't have the experience to do this but I think it would be so useful and could save a lot of time.
Thanks
