Cheers mates,
I have some trouble installing my Hackintosh. Could you may take a look upon it?
Hardware:
Done so far:
I have used UniBeast 8.3.2 to create my High Sierra Boot Stick, as described in the High Sierra Thread (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.235474/)
Onto this stick I have copied UniBeast 8.3.2 for the Post-Installation Steps.
Stick: 32GB SanDisk Ultra 3.0
Formatted as:
Name: USB
Format: OS X Extended (Journaled)
Scheme: GUID Partition Map
Installation in UEFI Boot Mode and at Graphics Configuration I checked the Nvidia Option, since my GPU is a GTX660.
First, I could not install High Sierra. After the Apple Logo I just got the Stop Sign.
To fix it I “simply” checked the BIOS setting for the x time.
Dedicated graphics card:
After installing Mac OS, the Installer restarted my PC (as usual) and I selected booting from my internal SSD, which just has been created.
Here I received the same problem. Apple Logo appeared, then Stop Sign.
After reading a lot of threads and comments, I disconnected my GPU and changed the BIOS Settings to:
Intel iGPU:
Installation worked.
But when I restart my Computer, select the USB Stick and choose High Sierra… same thing! Apple Logo is shown for the fraction of a second and then, Stop Sign!!
So. What am I missing within my installation so far?
What I have done different to the Installation Guide is, that I have not done Step 4.9 (Prevent APFS file System). Why? Because I got the Error, that there is no Mac Hard Drive that could be “no-converted”. I have not written down the exact message, but that was the sense of it. If needed, I will reproduce the error. Why that is, I don’t know. But that’s a problem I’ll take care about at a later time.
For now, I just want to have that think running.
Right now, within this Installation Guide, I am stuck at Step 5 – Post Installation with MultiBeast.
Again.
I have installed the OS, restarted the computer, choose USB -> High Sierra but then I just get the Stop Sign again.
Any hints?!
Thanks in advance!!
P.s.: Does it make any difference, that the MacBook the HighSierra.app comes from, is running on Sierra? I have just downloaded the HighSierra.app, but aborted the installation so that I would not have to do the update on my original System.
What I would like to have is:

What I would like to have is:
- A HighSierra / Windows Multi-Boot
- Have my Graphics Card supported
