Hello,
I made my hackintosh back in 2017 (I believe), but stopped using it due to lack of support since my GPU gave out and I replaced it with an RTX 2070 Super. I installed OS X Sierra (can't remember which version, likely 10.12.3) on one SSD and Windows 10 to another SSD, with two other HDDs for files.
I tried to update directly to High Sierra 10.13.6 using this guide, I downloaded the installer using gibMacOS, updated clover to 2.5k rev 5070, added the apfs.efi from the guide and ran the installer. A few min later, it asked to reboot, and so I did. However, while rebooting, my Mac SSD vanished from Clover. I can only see my Windows 10 SSD. It never finished installing. I tried adding HFSplus.efi, replacing the apfs.efi with the 10.13.6 from this thread and nothing worked. I checked my BIOS, and the Mac drive is missing there as well.
My biggest issue is that I have limited to no access to any Mac at the moment since my MacBook Pro died last month. I need to access my files from the MBP and since Sierra doesn't recognize APFS drives, I couldn't plug the MBP SSD to the Hackintosh and access it, which prompted me to try to update the Hack and end up with no Mac at all.
Any suggestions on what to try?
