I need any help I can get!
I had Yosemite running on a Hackintosh I built in '13, and used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to make and update it.
I needed to get Wifi working, so I followed a guide about changing some hardware, and the guide mentioned editing the DSST.
Long story short, in trying to edit my DSST, I installed Clover with no customization, onto an existing Yosemite, with no backup USB.

As it stands, my Windows partition is dead - I managed to scratch its HD through percussive maintenance - and I can't boot anything!
How can I get to editing the kexts I need, I can supply build info if needed.

I know I made a rookie mistake, how can I fix it?

Hello, and Welcome to InsanelyMac!

 

We don't give support for Tonymac, please read this:

Why InsanelyMac does not support tonymacx86


About your WiFi, we need know it, post your hardware specs.

 

If you want create a new USB stick, without a Mac, or you can create it in a friend's house using their Mac, or using Windows.

Thank you for the fast reply!
At work, so my responses are intermittent.
I understand there's no tony love here, I only listed that info to show I had run the computer before clover.
This is where my wifi solution came from: https://rampagedev.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/hacintosh-ac-wifi-solution/

The article is out of date but the computer was built '13, I figured it would work fine.
Having cobbled together my wifi card like instructed from the link, I have Gigabyte Bluetooth 4.0/WiFi Expansion Card Components Other GC-WB867D-I as my plugged in card, with AzureWave AW-CE123H / 802.11ac/n/b/g + Bluetooth 4.0 / Half-Size PCI-Express MiniCard newly installed into it. I had just set this up when I started messing with Clover, and accidentally my bootloader.

 

As for parts, I'll just list them here: 

 

Intel Core i7-3770K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz 8 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80637I73770K

 

Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST (Black)

 

CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B

 

WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX - Windoze

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

 

GeForce GTX 650 Ti *EDIT: Found my graphics card!

 

I also own two bits I didn't end up using,

Thought to link my setup through another source, but this setup doesnt seem to include wifi card so I'm not sure how useful it is
