Hi there, I'm running macOS High Sierra on my Hackintosh. I want to dual boot it with windos 10.
This is all on my 500GB SSD. I also have 3x1TB in RAID0 inside my computer.
I created a partition for it, went to install it but it said it couldn't install with no further explanation, only saying I should try again. Now I noticed it created two extra partitions, a 16MB MRP (microsoft reserved partition) and a 500MB recovery disk. I had no idea what to do with this so i deleted all three partitions so there was one big free space again (along side my macOS and EFI partition). The USB I use was formatted with RUFUS with these options:
GPT partition table for UEFI
FAT32
clustersize 8192 bytes
quickformat
standard windows installation
Create extended labels and icons
Clicking next after selecting the free space made it seem it was going to install but after a few second this message arose (translated from dutch it has been determined that the EFI system partition is formatted as NTFS. Format the EFI as FAT32 and restart the installation
Now I thought this might have had something to do with the way I made my EUFI Bootable windows drive so I recreated it with these settings:
GPT partition table for UEFI
NTFS
clustersize 8192 bytes
quickformat
standard windows installation
Create extended labels and icons
I restarted, followed all previous steps and now this was the error:
Cannot prepare for rebooting in the next stage of the installation. Restart the installation if you want to install windows.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
ps: In the future I will take all of my photo's in landscape mode so they won't turn up rotated
