macadventure Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hello, I am new to hackintosh. I have High Sierra on bootable memory chip 16GB with the help of TransMac. I get the boot screen with options to boot but on choosing to go ahead the screen goes into verbose mode and then stalls at a certain point. Actually the PC hangs and I cannot use my keyboard to get a screenshot. I do have a photo of it though. What config do I need to change, to be able to install onto a partition of HDD? My System is : Mobo: GA-H81M-S (rev 1.0); Nvidia GeForce 710 1GB DDR3 (with VGA, HDMI and DVI-D ports), I have connected my monitor (ASUS VP228H) to the HDMI port; 6GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM; SSD 120GB with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit; Western Digital 1TB with two partitions (with old Windows 7 Pro 64-bit installation); Western Digital 500GB with two partitions and Windows 10 Pro 32-bit on the first partition. I want to install to the second partition of this HDD. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/336540-installation-of-high-sierra/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ymojank Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 You have to format one partition to APFS/HFS+ for installing High Serria Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/336540-installation-of-high-sierra/#findComment-2648670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I don’t believe he is getting to the installer and thus cannot format the partition.

macadventure Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 First of all thank you for your reply. Since I am new to hackintosh I don't know how to post my CLOVER folder minus serials. No I do not have access to a hack or real Mac. Clover got installed via the *.dmg file I burned to SD card via TransMac.

macadventure Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I think I have Enoch r2848 Edited November 20, 2018 by macadventure Updated clearer information Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/336540-installation-of-high-sierra/#findComment-2648682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I think I have Enoch r2848Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Enoch. Clover boot loader is more widely used for both legacy and UEFI booting.

Please install vanilla os with Clover. Once you can figure out how to boot into the os you can download macOS from the App Store and clover bootloader. Then return and you will receive help.

This is why you need a real Mac or a hack not an iPad or iPhone. You either need to get support elsewhere for your distro or use the forum search on how to get macOS via windows.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/336540-installation-of-high-sierra/#findComment-2649232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macadventure Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 I managed to get the distro installed after searching. It was a cpu issue. But now after install, I can’t boot into my hac, after code suddenly the screen gives bsod even the the computer is on. So it seems a display setting needs to be done. Is that possible from clover?
