Hello, I have been trying to create a Hackintosh using the Ryzen build guild http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/324392-ryzen-clover-installation-guide-macos-sierra/?hl=+ryzen. I am planning on using a secondary SATA (Seagate Momentus thin 500 GB). This drive I removed from a older computer, and it works but there are "locked" system files that I can not affect, and I can not find a way to create a Guid partition map. I have tried to find guides to do this online, but have not found any so far.

 

Thank you

if you have a chance to get to Windows, you can try this:

 

1. Run CMD as admin

2. Type ''diskpart'' /ENTER

3. Type ''list disk'' /ENTER

4. Select the disk you want to format, for example ''select disk 1'' /ENTER

After you see message says, disk 1 is selected (or any other disk you are referring to), then..

5. Type ''clean'' /ENTER

You will see successful message

-Now exit

 

Note: All commands without quotes

 

Now go to Disk Management to set your formatted hard drive from the beginning.

 

If you don't have access to Windows then boot at least with a Windows installer, in the installer window press SHIFT+F10 to get to CMD
