    I Desperately Need Your Help Please

    Update - No matter what arguments I inserted and tried, and after taking the box to a person who has hella' more knowledge than I re: Hackintosh / Windows and he could not make it work either, I gave up and it's now living happily as a screaming Win10 machine and I'm looking forward to the new...

    I have this in Option Boot Args: dart=0_ Do I hit space after the _ and add? If so that did not work. The Apple logo appears on a black screen and the progress bar shows loading. It reaches about 60% and disappeared and never gets to desktop.

    Well... I got it to boot but I've lost the video. I've tried several choices in the clover config but no joy.

    Yes I found that out during the process. I'm staying with Sierra on this machine and keeping the GTX1070 - I just wanted to get it up and running again for Sim Use and run a couple of other applications that I have not migrated to the M1 yet. I've had the opportunity to do quite a bit of reading...

    I Desperately Need Your Help Please

    I actually used EFI Mounter, and I can see the Clover folders/files etc. Now I have no idea what I need to change, if anything. ;) As I mentioned in the last post, when I ran Disk Utility (from the mini hard drive) it "fixed the errors" and when I rebooted back to the Hackintosh drive, it...

    I Desperately Need Your Help Please

    After I ran the utility and rebooted to the Hackintosh Drive Sierra I got a popup window looking for the Nividia Divers (which of course are not on the Mini) does this sound like the EFI bootloader is repaired? Also since I never did get a USB working, can I run Clover from the Mini to mount...

    Hi Gigamaxx, I finally received a "working" adapter from OWC, and can get access to my drives via the 2008 Mac Mini that has Sierra installed. I also have the Sierra Installer if needed. Is my next step to try and determine if the EFI is present, and are these the steps to do so? --->>...

    I Desperately Need Your Help Please

    Hi, Thanks for your time. Your first paragraph re: the EFI erased makes sense to me. The part I don't understand is the first sentence. How would I make a Boot Stick w/o an installer associated with it? All the info I've found indicates I need the Installer and most importantly since the OS is...

    I Desperately Need Your Help Please

    Moderators(s) I think I posted this in the wrong thread earlier, sorry. Hi Everyone, I am crying out for help. I built my Machine in 2017 and it has been a rockstar until I screwed it up totally yesterday trying to move from Sierra to Catalina. I have always run 2 SSD’s with one acting as a...
