i tried to take some pictures while it booted... 4 lines that say AppleNVMe Assert failed one says error exit file ones says exit file one says returnasyncrequests file last says Uninit PCI file all list a path starting with build root and end with IONVMEcontroller.cpp with various lines referenced at the end .... 1639, 1674, 806, 667

i can try that .. fyi laptop see drive in boot options. clover sees my drive as it will let me boot to it. just the macos installer that does not see it

any way to dump the info it shows when booting to the installer? I know i see errors about the IONVME kext

back in the installed but no drive still ...

now it gets to a black screen instead of the installer....

attached.. thanks again origin.zip

still nothing.... :( EFI.zip

yes booting to windows works.. I will try that. But shouldn't it see the windows partition?

No i did not. I expected to open disk utility and wipe the whole thing. Are you saying I can dual boot with my existing windows install? If so let me know how to format that. the bigger issue is the installer does not see the drive at all. But if I can do something and make another partition that will resolve this let me know how.

i did that and even reopened disk utility. DO i need to preformat the drive to get rid of windows?

I am trying to install high sierra

So my next issues is the nvme drive not showing up in disk utility. it is a samsung 950. Currently has windows installed and it shows up in the clover bootloader along with the macos install option. once in the installer i go to disk utility and it is not there to format.

i think it is a samsung 950

thanks.. i got into the installer... nvme drive didnt show up in disk utility? was i supposed to do something special to make that work? i had read high sierra was supposed to see it.

one step closer... gave me install option now... gonna try again but it froze here

still no install option.. and this time it had default clover theme EFI.zip

yes the instructions say to replace entire efi folder with generic plus boot pack? am I reading that wrong?

i downloaded clover 4439 when i tried this earlier today and im using high sierra i downloaded late last year i think

So i am new to this whole thing. I think there may be some things I am missing. I have an E7270 i7 touch screen. I have seen some posts and I am sure there are some files I need to update but I cannot get an option to install osx when I boot to the usb drive. The partition is there when i plug the usb into a mac vm (high sierra install and efi partitions) My only option really is boot to windows efi partition attached efi folder from thumb drive thanks RJ EFI.zip

I get to the clover menu but there is no option to install high sierra. Followed steps here in post 5 https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-xps-clover-guide I have tried adding the boot pack from here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9179-dell-latitude-e7x70-clover-uefi-only/ i have tried this with EFI folder from clover install and from the generic EFI folder in the first link. Any advice?
