Coding Fox Posted January 29, 2025 Share Posted January 29, 2025 (edited) Hi. I just finished downloading the hackintosh zone high sierra installed and flashed it to a 8GB usb drive with balenaEtcher. When I booted it on my Optiplex 3020, I selected "Hackintosh Zone High Sierra Installer" in the clover menu. I got some loading messages followed by an O with a / inside meaning the system can't boot. I have tried editing the config.plist but still to no avail. This is my first hackintosh so any help would be appreciated. If possible, please refer me to other distros or tutorials that will work on my system (preferably with torrent downloads). Thanks. This is the link I downloaded(torrent): https://archive.org/details/hackintosh-zone-high-sierra-installer-with-amd-support Hardware: Motherboard: Dell Optiplex 3020 MT, Videocard(in use): AMD Radeon R5 240, OS: Arch Linux, trying to install macOS High Sierra, CPU: Intel Core i5-4570. The rest is default for my model.
