Hi,
I have experience with computers, both PCs and Macs, but not with Hackintosh. I've been researching about Clover, its options, and UEFI settings and options, and how it works, but I'm going nuts with a couple of things I cannot understand and cannot fix, so any help would be greatly appreciated . Here they go:
I have two hard disks (HDD0 and HADD1) in my computer (see my profile to see the model), and the idea is to keep Windows 10 in one of them (HDD0), and a second one with OSX (HDD1). Windows 10 was already working fine in HDD0, with UEFI boot loader. I've configured the BIOS as recommended for OSX, set the second HDD1 as the default one to boot from, and installed Clover into that one. The first try, booting from the USB, worked fine. The first impressions where very positives, but after messing around with clover options, iMessages, kexts to fix small problems, I think I have made some things wrong, and I would like to start from scratch, formatting all OSX and it's UEFI and everything from that disk, and start again with all I learned from the first try.
The problem is I can't:
If I try to boot from the USB, it says not boot media was found, insert the media and press a key to continue.
If I boot from Clover on HDD1 and the USB plugged, it appears as bootable. If I choose it, it boots but I get a gray screen with the beach ball, and nothing else happens.
If being on Windows I delete all the OSX partitions inside HDD1, same problem, and surprisingly, my BIOS setup program keeps showing "Mac OS X" as a boot option (which doesn't work).
Even with the HDD1 unplugged physically from the PC I keep having OSX as a boot option!
What's going on here? How can I get rid of Clover and everything OSX related and start from scratch with a clean harddisk, UEFI and boot again from the Unibeast USB installer?
By the way: I create the installer in UEFI mode. Should I use old legacy mode? Does it just affect to the installer or is the final installed OSX affected by how the Unibeast USB installer is created?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
