Thanks for the reply. So you're saying the problem is either hardware or software
I did not expand the partitions, only did a 1:1 copy using dd on a mac.
It is odd how sensitive the system is to SSD upgrades.
Like I say the DVD works fine with the HDD. So it is not the CIC HW or original HDD that is bad. Maybe the SSD. But the SSD is mostly read-only (not written to very much, or so we thought.)
My understanding is there no software running from the HDD, only data (maps, ripped music, FSCs etc). All the CIC software is run from the CIC internal flash. Even if my SSD formating is bad or my SSD hardware is bad, what data on the SSD is needed for DVD playback(?)
Others have experienced the same and had to go back to the HDD to do the maps upgrade. e.g.
https://forum.bmw5.co.uk/topic/14190...blems-bricked/ ("Edit: fixed - I took out the SSD drive and put the HDD back in and it worked perfect the first time. Only explanation I can think of is the SSD is faulty.") and
https://cartechnology.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=44718 ("Are you running stock hard drive in CIC, or SSD upgrade? I've seen this before on an SSD, I think TRIM was causing problems. ")
Others like
Beachparty have issues reading CDs after SSD upgrade. For me DVD work only with the HDD installed CDs work with either the SSD or HDD.
I will try to re image my HDD onto my SSD to see if that makes a difference to DVD playback.
