[Solved] Can't do an Update Direct and can't do a clean install of High Sierra

How? I'm running MultiBeast on the hard drive, in the OS. It doesn't give an option for which drive to install it too.

Update: I am wrong, it does have a "select install drive". But I have been selecting the right drive. And MutliBeast is still giving an error.

This is what I know.

High Sierra is running on my hard drive called "Hackintosh".

I was able to install Clover via MultiBeast one time. EFI Mount seems to be unable to mount the correct drive. And now MultiBeast fails to install.

I can not turn on NVIDIA web driver.

I can not boot High Sierra from Clover, I can only boot it from the UniBeast USB, but High Sierra is still running off of the hard drive called Hackintosh.

When I try to boot High Sierra on Hackintosh from Clover it hangs on the progress bar, same thing I saw when trying to do a direct install.

I tried to Update Directly, that failed, it would get hung up on a black screen with Apple Logo with progress bar filled 50%.
I erased all disks, and did a new install, but this too is having issues.

I erased the disk and performed another install via UniBeast USB. Install completed. I ran MultiBeast and installed on the same hard drive that High Sierra is installed. EFI Mount did find the EFI/Clover file. I installed the NVIDIA web driver. I can not turn it on. And I can not boot High Sierra via clover, only via the UniBeast USB. Can someone please help me. What am I doing wrong?
 
I unplug my GPU. I unplugged all hard drives except the one I'm installing on. I erased this drive. I performed an install via UniBeast USB, that worked. I used MultiBeast, that worked. But I still can not boot up via Clover Boot Manager. I still can not turn on the NVIDIA driver. In Clover Boot Manager There still is a can icon with no OS icon that says "Boot OS X Install from Install macOS High Sierra" Where is this Clover coming from? Why can't I completely start over? I can only boot into High Sierra from the UniBeast USB, and I can't turn on the NVIDIA driver, so my computer is really not useable. I think I messed everything up by trying to do an "Update Direct". I have no idea what to do. Please please please please help.
 
Installing/updating High Sierra requires a few reboots. During these reboots, they will boot from a volume named install High Sierra or something similar.
