Hi guys,
I've recently torn down my old Hackintosh that I was running for years and rebuilt it. I wanted to get away from Clover and Tonymac so I went with OpenCore, following the very helpful Dortania guides.
After a bit of trial and error, I've now got it to reach the installer and Success fully installed Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina, was able to boot to it from the USB and all. Following on with the post-install process, I mounted the EFI partition from the macOS disk, nuked it, and copied over the OpenCore EFI folder from my installer USB.
Now, after rebooting, I am given a few options:
- EFI
- OpenCore (external) [OP: This is my installer USB]
- macOS_Boot [OP: The volume macOS is installed to]
- Recovery 10.15.7
- OpenShell.efi
- Reset NVRAM
My thought is macOS_Boot is the bean, so I hit 3 and get a few lines of OpenCore startup traces, ending in:
```
Exiting efiboot
[EB|#WL|9] 0x01 0x03 22 0x09
OCB: StartImage failed - aborted
```
before getting booted back to the OpenCore menu.
Selecting 1. EFI results in black screens, but the fans do ramp up a little before eventually settling. I've left it this way for ~10 min and it doesn't budge.
I also previously had Windows 10 installed, and was able to boot to it from my UEFI, but I no longer have the Windows Boot Manager option. OpenCore doesn't seem to be able to see any Windows installation either.

I'm sure I've done something stupid and messed things up a little. I haven't done a build with OpenCore yet - I understand this is a vague post, so not expecting the answer, but a rough steer in what to look at next for troubleshooting would be great, as I think I'm at a dead end on my own.
Thank you so much, what I've seen of this community is absolutely fantastic and you'll make my day even with a gentle nudge in the right direction! :)
