    Cannot boot Windows 10 after attempting a Hackintosh


    Hello,

    recently I was attempting a Hackintosh. My goal was to do a dual-boot with Windows and MacOS. Knowing I had a Ryzen CPU I knew this was going to be hard but I finally found a video to follow. Halfway through the tutorial, I realized that the tutorial was about single booting MacOS. At this point, I was at the MacOS Mojave boot installation screen. (BTW I used Clover, not sure if that's important to note) So I booted back to Windows 10 and partitioned a second drive of about 100GB to dedicate to MacOS. I booted back to the MacOS installation screen and I tried formatting the drive. The format was successful however, the installation page did not allow me to install Mojave. So I wanted to boot back to Windows to try to solve the issue however this time my system does not boot Windows anymore. I have already made a bootable Windows 10 installation USB stick and used that to attempt a "Startup Repair" however that was unsuccessful. I tried to work with Diskpart and tried to make my "C:\" active but I got an error saying "Selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk".


    NOTE: I am able to access my files through "System Image Recovery" and view and copy/paste the files inside my drive. So I believe that it is still healthy. BUT the 100GB that allocated for MacOS is no longer there to be seen and my C drive has decreased by 100GB. I also never formatted my C drive.


    Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    :)

    How to Dual Boot Windows 10 with Other Versions of Windows, macOS and Linux

    Very helpful. I have a dual boot system (Hackintosh + Windows 10). My Hackintosh works fine when both drives are plugged in, but Windows 10 only works when the SSD where my Hackintosh OS is located is unplugged. Used to work just fine when I had Windows
    7. Any suggestions on what might fix this?

    Cannot boot Windows 10 after attempting a Hackintosh

    [WTB]   Looking for LGA 775 motherboard for Hackintosh --

    Looking for any motherboard that works well for a hackintosh - have an itch to build a 10.6.4 box for some odd reason --

    I've heard that the GA-EP45-UD3P is the best one to get, so that's at the top of my list. I'm open to other suggestions if anyone out there has any recomendations.
