POST – INSTALLATION:
So now you have 3 OS in 3 Separate SSD’s.
Thanks to Sarkrui, for mentioning steps here.
Connect All The SSD’s and Check On BIOS that all are found.
Boot Into OpenCore and Select OpenShell.efi
You’ll be Greeted with Screen like this.
The thing here is, FS1:, FS2,… FS12: are partitions of all the drives connected to the system, you have to identify which one is Windows and Which one is Linux Partition.
To Find Partition start with typing,
FS1:
then type,
DIR
Continue this Until you find Something like EFI after typing DIR,
FS2:
then type,
DIR
again.
I Found my Windows EFI partition in FS9:
when you find it type,
map > map-table-windows.text
Note the partition Number or take a snap from your mobile, as we need to mention it later.
the Continue the Search for Linux Partition,
FS10:
then,
DIR
I found mine in FS11, to double-check your EFI folder type,
cd EFI
If the Manjaro Folder is Inside its the partition you are looking for,
type,
cd ../
to go back to your root EFI partition i.e FS11:
again type,
map > map-table-linux.txt
Now restart the system and boot into macOS from selecting macOS Drive from Boot Menu.
After Successfully Booting into macOS, Download OC Configurator.
After Downloading OC Configurator move it to Application Folder,
Open it,
Go to Tools> Mount EFI
Mount Your Windows Partition First,
Open Drive, Search for map-table-windows.txt
Open it,
Search for the Drive Number for Windows EFI you noted and Copy the PCI line and paste it into new Text File, then add this line just after the PCI line Like this,
/\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
it will look something like this after,
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x17,0x0)/Sata(0x4,0xFFFF,0x0)/HD(2,GPT,BDD47B32-75D8-4A58-A59A-F96037E62CED,0x109000,0x32000) /\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
Open OC Configurator > Tools > Mount and UnMount the Partition.
Then Mount the Linux Partition,
Again Same steps,
Open Drive, Search for map-table-linux.txt
Open it,
Search for Drive Number for Linux EFI partition you noted and copy the PCI line and paste it into a new text file, then add this line just after the PCI line like this,
/\EFI\Manjaro\grubx64.efi
it’ll look something like this after,
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x17,0x0)/Sata(0x5,0xFFFF,0x0)/HD(1,GPT,54BF9D60-0A26-D146-94DC-F46E60BCD33F,0x1000,0x96000) /\EFI\Manjaro\grubx64.efi
Now, Open OC Configurator and UnMount Linux Partition and Mount the main macOS Partition in which the OpenCore is,
go to.
EFI> OC> config.plist (open it in OC Configurator)
then go to,
MISC > Entries
then add an entry from (+) symbol which is located below and add both paths we created in the new file and name of OS, make sure you click enable after that.
So, here you go.
Hi, i found your repo with 9400F and rx580 opencore. is it work if i use rx 570?
Yes.
Ok, thank you.
Hello , I tried it but it doesn’t work for me. I always have a 0xc000000d error code after boot. I am using the openCore 0.59 version and Windows 10 Pro (version 2004). Would you have any ideia? Thank you
Check the BIOS Settings first and also how to install macOS using Opencore from the other installation guide in the website.
The MacOS (hackintosh – OpenCore 0.5.9) is already installed in order SSD like your suggestion.The only thing that doesn’t work is the dual boot with Windows 10 that is installed in other SSD.
Do what guide says.
yes! message me on twitter @d3vl0pr 🙂
Hi, I followed all your steps for Windows10 and finally I have BSOD with ACPI_BIOS_ERROR. Any idea how to fix it?
Did you made the EFI correctly?
It’s best to remove it because GRUB will overwrite the EFI entries of clover or Opencore
