MacOS remains active and functional
MacOS remains active and functional
I attempted to install MacOS on my PC because I found it intriguing. My setup includes an i7 7700k processor, ASRock z270 Killer SLI, 2133mhz Corsair DDR4 RAM, and an Asus RX 460 with 4GB of memory. I installed a 1TB hard drive for MacOS. After some adjustments, it worked, but I wasn’t impressed enough to keep it. I reformatted the hard drive. My issue is that MacOS X still appears in my boot list on the BIOS. I downgraded the BIOS version, updated it, removed the hard drive, saved the settings, and still see the option. The positive side is it doesn’t interfere with my use, though it remains visible. I hope you can grasp what I meant.
The issue involves confusing bios settings with other components. Bios doesn't monitor operating systems. I lack knowledge about Hackintosh and how it interacts with boot options like GRUB on Linux. Analyzing the boot list could clarify the situation.
You're close, but the bios doesn't monitor your operating systems. I didn't mean to imply that. In the boot menu, you can see your DVD drive, SSD, and any USB sticks if available—there you'll find MacOS X.
In this scenario, your main storage's EFI section holds macOS files. That's why I remove every connected device except the one needed for hackintosh. You'll experience macOS until you permanently erase the partition layout on your boot drive, unfortunately.
