hi!

Everything is perfect in my hackintosh except for 2 things...

- If I have an external hdd connected I get apple logo and next I get a circle crossed..
- without it it does boot but not always...

What could this be?
 
Most likely cause is that when you connect the External HDD ( possibly via USB I guess) the Boot menu assumes it as the first boot device. Since it has no Clover EFI folder and Config.plist it cannot boot and you get that boot failure sign.
Someone may be able to come up with a more useful answer if you can provide some or all of the following about your System :
  • the hardware Specs of your System.
  • Upload a Picture of your boot menu screen that you can get by pressing a hotkey for your system like F12/ F11/ F8 during reboot.
  • Providing the BIOS Setup > First Boot Device
  • Upload here a picture of your Clover Boot Manager screen
  • Upload Clover Config.plist
 
hi! Sorry the delay...

SPECS:

i7 6700
Nvidia GTX970 Strix 4gb
16gb ram CRUCIAL
MSI H170M-A PRO
240gb CRUCIAL SSD


the boot order is just fine. when i start the mackintosh it loads fine and it gets to clover startup menu, where it shows on the left the OSX system and recovery on the right side.
It makes the 5 seconds count down. it starts, shows apple logo, and sometimes gets the crossed circle...
i reset machine, make all process again, and then it sometimes loads, some other times i need to restart again...
 
Thank you so much

Will try it later!
Can you show me where is that folder?
 
Here the location for the folder.
EFI>CLOVER>drivers64UEFI
 
DId not had the chance of testing it
Maybe today if I not get to late at home
 
Life saver man! So far so good!!!
