Might it work if I disconnect my Games HDD ?

Yes I would think your extra Windows drive may be causing the issue of it not showing up.

Probably. It needs to be at least 2nd or 3rd slot in boot order to work.

Would work if set my macOS hdd as a first boot? In the case ill try it out before you reply

Welp didn't work either, tried disconnecting all my Drives except the one for mac, still no install option, tried also just leaving Windows ssd and macOS hdd didn't work either
P.S: Checked my XHCI Hand-off was enabled already

What is the format of your current empty target drive? Because if you've got it formatted with Windows ie. NTFS it's likely to not recognise under macOS.

One last thing I thought of that may be the issue causing your drive not to appear (if not the NTFS drive format), could be that the macOS High Sierra is not compatible with your board's SATA controller. In which case you'll need to add the SATA-unsupported.kext to your current kernel kext loadout. It can be found here. Just click on the green Code button, click download zip to Desktop and then decompress the zip, select and extract the single kext to your EFI/OC/kexts folder. > https://github.com/RehabMan/hack-tools

Its a empty disk already formatted to macOS GUID Partition

I see. So why don't you just select continue? That will start the installer.

If I click on "reinstall" it shows an error, attatched the arror and my HDD if needed

Looks like it needs an Ethernet connection to work
