Friends, I have this old Toshiba Satellite C660-1FL laptop (an old i3-380M Arrandale chip + ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics) which I've decided to repurpose and install HS on it. I spent about 2 weeks trying to get Opencore to install HS, which I eventually succeeded in, overcoming some major obstacles and learning a lot in the process. However, I couldn't get the graphics going. I spent another two weeks trying to get some graphics acceleration with OC, but failed. Eventually I decided to switch to Clover with the hope that I would be able to do some graphics injection going using it's capabilities, because all success stories that I've seen with similar hardware were done through Clover.
To cut the long story short, after a week I managed to get a config together that lets me get to the installer but then I hit a brick wall with a very strange problem that I've been trying to resolve for the last four days, trying different things from searches online, but failed. I have a feeling it's something simple that I've missed. The problem is that when I get to the installer, it can't see any USB memory sticks connected to the laptop apart from the one that has Clover, the one I'm booting from. So, I can't proceed with HS installation, because I want to install it onto another USB memory stick. I've tried different sticks formatted in different formats. The laptop has two USB ports, plugging the Clover stick into the other port doesn't change anything.
I would greatly appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction how I can fix this problem. I've ran out of ideas at this stage. Here is the information about my Clover configuration - a photo of the UFI directory and config.plist.
