aky Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hi I am new to hackintosh and my first post here. I have 3 OS - windows, mac and pop!os booting from ndkbootpicker. Can anyone tell me how can I change the name of OS and also the icon for OS. I know that I have to write full path of OS EFI in config.plist under MISC/Entries/ like PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/NVMe(0x1,11-22-33-44-55-66-77-88)/HD(1,GPT,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,0x800,0x64000)/\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI. How do I find the path for my OS EFI in different partitions and how to change the icon in EFI bootpicker. Any help or reference to guide will be really helpful. Cheers!!!

insanefrancis Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hello, I know this thread is about the boot picker but since it covers multi booting, I would like to ask some help. I have a working OC 0.5.8 hack and it works great. I would like to add a second SSD for Windows 10 specifically. What would be the recommended way of installing? I cannot unplug my macOS NVMe SSD because it is installed at the back of the motherboard. I would need to remove all components to do that. Should I just install Windows 10 directly to my second SSD? Would it not affect the EFI of the macOS drive? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Tread very carefully as windows can over write the boot files or worst case scenario cause corruption. In an ideal situation is to isolate the disk you're not installing to, but not so easy in your case as you pointed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you install Windows, start the Windows PE environment, use winntsetup, load the iso file, choose the boot partition, choose the installation target partition, everything is up to you to decide, will never break other systems, very simple thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind expanding your installation procedure? I really can't install (always error out) Windows 10 on my second SATA SSD. Others confirmed it's not possible unless I disconnect other drives. My macOS is installed in the M.2 slot at the back of motherboard. So disconnecting is my last option. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSaF Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) It seems obvious btwise is an expert at dual booting windows with OS X so hopefully as you wish he could extend the process fully. In the past I have dual boot windows and OS X with both on the same disk (Not a claim to be an expert) and on respective drives and I have learnt the hard way that it is good practice to remove any other disk you're not installing to. Windows has the tendency to be the dominant OS and will try to over write the boot files of another OS. By removing other disks minimise this risk, also as you're finding out, if another OS is present the install will error out but I dare say our friend btwise has a tip for that also and will come to your rescue so all is not lost. Good luck. Edited May 18, 2020 by eSaF bad grammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway his fork as it is should build normally since it's around 2 weeks ndk Does not update his OC fork... and around one month for the bootpicker Looking at the names your directories have i would suppose there's something wrong in the way you get them, OpenCorePkg-master is nowhere to be found simply because it does not exists. If you are not familiar on how to get files from git, you will find plenty of informations just reading a few posts. If you'r trying to get the bootpicker working with last OC (official) just forget it... it will never happen, to get a working copy you should get the branch for 0.5.8 from git and build against it. 8 hours ago, osxone said: I also wish to ask I have a version of NDK opencore Release 0.59 it doesnt have light or dark icon choice just a pack of icons is there more than one fork of Themes/Default is the directory where you have all the icons, and its still there, 5 hours ago, Monyo said: Same results here.

fuzzylogic Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I am sorry but your comment does not make much sense I do not see from the posters comment above how he or she can see if we had been reading round or not? why are there different versions? of NDK? why is it on the same link? I provided a link to source I provided a reference and only , and I mean only once I had read extenisvely did I seek help. On the other hand you made an assumption, to suggest for some reason that you felt we had not read or researched. If I was producing a fork of Open core and someone else was using my fork with the same name, then I would be wishing to try and find out who plagurized my version? I am a consultant by trade, I always do my research first then if I get stuck or need clarity I ask an expert for advise. In my trade we see alot of fake copies, and we are keen to stamp it out thanks for your help and your not being rude, just slight of hand! regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
