Be careful, running hackintosh tools on your Mac can brick it :

Wow. I did NOT know that. I did it on a second drive and luckily my MBP still boots up with the main drive. Will wipe the the second drive now. Thank you for the tip!

Yes I concur with P1LGRIM, you may or may not be in a spot of trouble

Try flashing PRAM and NVRAM, also let the battery discharge completely and then re-charge and start, and all the other things one must do to reset a MacBook. Needless to say, I'd take the expresscard out for now.

Good luck!

Oh well... I don’t know how to do all these but doing the battery. Thank you for the advise! My MBP seems working fine, though. Is there any symptoms I need to look for??? Or anyway to diagnose potential problems?

Found out this. I think I’m gonna go for this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Port-USB-3-0-ExpressCard-34-Adapter-MacBook-Pro-15-17-OSX-Native-Supported/252359610184

if it's working fine you should be ok.

You can reset the PRAM and NVRAM as a maintenance step, easy to google instructions; it will reset your system clock and such as well, please note.
