Jazz62, post: 1351051, member: 1666107"]This is my first hackintosh build. I'm having problems installing El Capitan. These are the steps I have taken so far:
-I changed my BIOS according to the directions.
-I created a partitioned USB flashdrive with all the downloads as directed (I replaced the config.plist with the h170n-wifi-intel-config.plist at EFI/CLOVER/config.plist.
Should I have kept the old config.plist too?).
-I ejected the USB "Installer" flashdrive. The EFI drive stayed on my old computer.
Where should it be and how should I get it there?
-Inserted the USB "Installer" drive into the hack mini. Turned machine on. Selected Boot Mac OS X from Installer.
-I see the Apple logo and the progress bar. During the first progress bar, it gets about halfway before the monitor turns black and the USB flashdrive stops flashing.
-I have looked for a solution to this and can't seem to find one.
-I reformatted the flashdrive, repartitioned it, and started the process over twice.
-I'm not a techie but can follow directions. So, if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
-My Hack Mini is connected to the monitor with DVI-D.
My build was going to be a blend of Ammulder's and Snazzy Labs.
