BIG MISTAKE.
First off, I had run into a MSI B550 board issue where the system would restart itself about two minutes in. It was not a hardware issue, nor BIOS. Had done my due diligence and had run into other forums and posts indicating it was a board issue. Got a new ASUS B550 board.
That said, before the whole Motherboard issue happened, I had a dual boot going between macOS BigSur and Windows (both on separate SSDs). However, now with the new board:
- It booted into Windows fine and everything holds up
- When I tried booting into macOS, it would come up with "Your computer restarted because of a problem" error and restart.
Naturally I tried to mount the macOS EFI in Windows, and I was able to with through admin CMD and Explorer++. However, while I can read the drives / structure, I can't add anything as I don't have permission to the EFI drive. My dumb ass tried to replace the file in BOOT, but ended up deleting it off the EFI folder completely, and now I know it definitely won't boot at all into macOS.
I have also tried copy and pasting a file from my Windows desktop into the EFI folder (in Explorer++), however it always indicates that I don't have enough space (even when the file is kilobyes).
Any help here would be super appreciated!
Thank you
