JKROLN Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I used installer installed Catalina on my sata SSD , it succeeded with a flash of lines and I supposed it will restart and do the rest of its work(just as most tutorial says) , however , it just restart and entered the opencore without a MACOS boot option (or just went into WindowsOS),either not the boot option on bios itself and when I enter WindowsOS I found that this sata drive has no efi files : https://img.gejiba.com/image/EPex1C so help😭 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/353682-opencore-doesnt-continue-its-work-after-installer-succeeded/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slice Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 EFI shouldn't be in the same partition as recovery.boot. You have to do GPT partitioning disk. One partition is EFI, next is a partition for Mac, next for Windows etc. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/353682-opencore-doesnt-continue-its-work-after-installer-succeeded/#findComment-2793459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
