If you've done a disk image installation of Setup 1.30 then please do a USB stick installation.

If you've done a USB stick installation of Setup 1.30 then please do a disk image installation.

See if that resolves your DOS area sector error. If have no success with this or further PCI compaction then please email me.

Thanks Nando,

USB Stick installation may complete PCI Compaction but the generated pci.bat looks strange (compare to other posted), and error 12 still there.

I post here with hope some guide.

Problem solved!

I followed a similar fix someone else used with the same problem here: A Thunderbolt GPU on a Mac : How-to | Le journal du lapin

I'm not sure why it works but apparently after these steps all that was needed was to reset the extension cache which I did using the sudo command referenced in Marc's comment within the page linked to above.

Next boot up the monitor flickered out of hibernation and the card was recognized.

Thanks a ton!

I used Terminal to execute "sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions".

This command seems take no time to be done.

But problem is not solved, PCI card still could not be gathering information (my card is Nvidia GT740)

Result after try:

- USB stick installation cannot detect eGPU -> pass pci compaction (disk image also pass in case unplug eGPU)

- After trying disable some device in Device Manager such as Intel HD, Sound...suddenly pass error 12.

Optimus Nvidia worked, but seem not at good performance. <1000 point FurMark.

Wish your helps with many thanks, nando !

Now I can generate pci.bat from USB stick installation of Setup 1.30.

But Nvidia GT 740 has gone in Device Manager, and a few PCI Express Controllers occur instead.

I think USB stick did not detect eGPU.

Thank you so much. I'll post the result after trying.

Need helps to pass error 12.

Cannot do PCI compaction to generate the pci.bat (DOS area sector error)

Thanks a lot.
