This image is not mine, i put it to show you, in my installer screen i dont see anything except the usb drive

• At CBM screen , a blank HDD/SSD should not be seen. Only an Erased disk with a Partition and File Structure can be brought to CBM by a CLOVER containing working Bootable device (USB or System HDD/SSD)
• Therefore, if your SSD was detected by BIOS in Boot Option Priorities list or another BIOS Menu but not seen in CBM , that is NORMAL.
• The following will make this clear.

BIOS and CLOVER work hand in Hand ; you can consider CLOVER as a 'side-kick" of Apple's own Bootloader.
In Hackintosh, BIOS hands over control of the Installer Disk or a fully working System hard disk with OS to CLOVER and CLOVER gets it to the Clover Boot Manager(CBM) Screen.

CLOVER being very versatile can also take non-Mac OS disks like Windows (which has its on BCD bootloader) and Linux (which has its own Bootloader GRUB) to CBM screen from where each can be booted.
CLOVER will let Windows and Linux to go on their own ways using their own Bootloaders
CLOVER will take macOS to its destination screen (for USB Installer its is macOS Utility screen and for macOS System Disk, the Login Screen)
If you see a Hack disk (installer or System Disk) in CBM but that disk is not reaching its Destination screen , most likely the problem is with CLOVER.

In the case of a Blank Hard Disk (SSD or SpinDisk) seen in BIOS but NOT in Disk Utility of CLOVER for Partition and Format , you need to first make use of DU's >Menu>View> Show All Disks
If it is still not seen , something is wrong with DU of USB.
Try Utilities>Terminal>diskustil list command to LIST All disks attached to SATA and USB of Motherboard
If you now see your missing SSD, you can Partition & Format using diskutil commands .
If you reach there, post , I can help you with Terminal commands if you need.

If BIOS and CLOVER are OK and the installer has the right macOS, it has to be installed OK.
You may uncross your fingers and give the right keyboard inputs for success

Now I have another problem but im closer to victory

I think i successfully installed Mojave on my m2 internal hdd but when I try to boot from it, computer stuck in a grey screen and I can't come to (selecting country, enabling Siri, vs, vs) last step ...

What do you think is my problem?

or do you recommend any successful build videos that suits my hardware...

cause I think I watched & read too many build forums and videos...

all the best

Usually after grey screen, booting should go to Welcome screen.
It can sometimes take a few minutes for Video card to display those Gui screens.
Any freeze at this stage is usually related to Graphics.
I need to know more about your BIOS options for Video and CLOVER's Video- related choices, how you have connected your Monitor to Video Port etc.

Now I can't get past screen below,

Ive got dell 27inch monitor connected via display port on my gigabyte rx570 4gb gpu...

My bios options for video are
vt-d disabled, internal graphics auto...

here are the clover config of my config list on my Mojave installer

second picture.


ps : do you have any good 0-100 percent working tutorial to suggest ???

thank u

This is NOT the Option you can tweak if any.

• Show me your CBM>Options>
  • Boot Args _ screen,
  • GraphicsInjector ->Screen,
  • SMBIOS screen
  • System Parameters > System Integrity Protection Screen
