i appreciate your fast reply. the last thing i need to do then is fill out the blanks you left in my config.plist. sorry for the noob question but where am i getting this information from? the UUID,serial, board serial, etc. i searched the thread and saw that you fill in ROM with your MAC...

Thank you for the great guide pastrychef, I just used it to upgrade from my old HP 8300 hack on High Sierra and everything seems to be working good so far on Mojave! Even used migration assistant minus the system files to keep all my old Logic plug ins from my HP 8300 and it totally worked. One...

hey trs. these guides for the hp 8300 have been super helpful. feeling like its time to upgrade tho and keep my hp 8300 running on the side as my plex server. i see your guides on the optiplex's like the 9020, im wondering you consider that worthwhile to upgrade to or if theres another prebuilt...

i followed the old guide so i have a gtx 1050 but i've been wanting to upgrade from High Sierra, hows the performance of the rx560 compared to the gtx 1050 and which kind did you use in your hp? also wondering if im really missing out on anything. been out of the loop since setting up my...

i didnt mention it in the OP but the guide i followed when i took apart the enclosure went over that 3.3v glitch or whatever and i used the tape method to cover the 3rd pin. im getting a locked up bios either way, plugged in with tape covering the 3rd pin as well as when the drive is plugged...

so after i installed the 10tb drive and got the issues with powering on, the first thing i tried was putting it back into its enclosure and plugging in via usb. i got the same problem as before with getting stuck at the bios start. if i wait for the system to fully turn on and plug the drive in...

In my system (HP 8300) I have a total of 3 drives, 2 1tb SSDs for OS X and Windows, and a third drive for storage thats 3tb formatted to exfat. I recently bought a 10tb WD Easystorage external hard drive with the intention of it replacing my 3tb internal drive. I plugged in the drive before...

got a weird issue with my hack, wanna know what u guys think. i just bought a 10tb wd drive to shuck. i plugged it in to format and make sure it work before tearing apart the enclosure. when i tried installing it though, my pc will just hang at the bios. i thought i screwed up something...

i tried that and it still wasn't working. found a guide here on ****** that got me into recovery/terminal, gonna follow it through and see if it works edit: yea that wasn't working, might try it again tomorrow or might just re install everything. my windows drive works fine so dont think its...

Tried that, now i'm getting stuck on "IOConsoleUsers gIOScreenLockState". Anybody get this on the HP 8300 before? I re-installed HS like 3/4 weeks ago and this is the first issue to come up since then. Read that it was a graphics related issue so i took out my 1050 but if i boot with integrated...

Thanks for the reply, before reading your comment i tried plugging into the motherboard without taking out my card and wasn't seeing my bios screen. Didn't know I had to remove my GPU first so that probably explains it. I don't use my motherboard's audio, i have an interface so the kexts don't...

Got too excited and updated to mojave, the install worked but didn't realize about the nvidia drivers... How would I go about rolling back? Would I be able to run the high sierra installer and "upgrade" to high sierra while keeping everything how it was like how I updated to Mojave? Or would it...

I have an HP 8300 elite tower with i7, everything works pretty good on it after following the guide here. I ordered a 3tb hard drive to install as a media drive for all my movies, pictures, music, etc. It installed fine and showed up in Disk Utilities and I formatted it as ExFAT via MacOS. After...

I bought the recommended gtx 1050 ti and it causes my computer to shut itself on and off. It gets through to clover and sometimes I will reach the macOS load screen but it never gets me in. I have to hold the button down to get it to stop looping. No problems switching back to inegrated graphics...

Reinstalled everything and made sure to only have one drive plugged in at a time. Got both OSes working, even got the audio port on my mac side working. Thank you so much for the help!
