I this I will have to purchase a external drive adapter for a M.2 ti achieve the cloning process for the mac or laptop, I think I would rather do the laptop for it has catalina and the imac has Mojave, What usb M.2 encloser do you recommend?

I think the real problem is that i don't know how to get the efi folder you sent me on the usb that I have the OS on for it to be properly mounted, as I mention in the beginning I'm a newbie, I did a 1950x couple years ago, got it to work with a good youtube vid, But opencore is totally new to me and I'm lost and uncertain. I think if I can just get the EFI on the usb catalina pen the correct way, I'll get over this hump.

I did also clone the hhd on the laptop, but not sure what to do to get the EFI folder on it either. feeling overwhelmed, feeling close to the goal, but need to find the missing link to get up and running. My ignorance is clear, I need so much more understanding of what I'm doing.

@SQA

do not worry we will win

 

on your Imac

download clover configurator

then insert USB you have done with Installmaker or the method you use to create a Catalina OSX installer

 

in clover configurator choose mount EFi and select your USB

put your password if requested

then you will have on your desktop an EFI disk

open it

inside Nothing or an EFI folder

replace it with mine

then you should have a working and booting EFI

 

i hope

From your Imac

1) download instalmaker from our download area

 

2) download from apple OSX you want to install

 

3) insert an empty USB pen on your Imac

 

4) Run InstallMaker app and follow the instructions

it will ask to select an OSX installer (previously downloaded from apple store /site)

then it will ask to choose USB for installation

it will format it and it will put inside all OSX installation files

 

5) then with Clover Configurator mount the EFI inside in this USB pen

Put my EFI inside it

 

sorry I cannot explain better of this 🙂

Hey I’m not sure what I did to the usb pin, I was able to get as far as the Mac OS utilities and I formatted the drive for installation and when I go to do the install, it says this copy of the install Mac OS Catalina is damaged and can’t be used to in stall Mac OS, more closer, I’m excited, what can I do from here?

When I open the ACPI the folder is empty, is that ok? does it need to have files?

Yes for now

for the error you have it seems usb was built badly 

you have to download macOS Catalina again and to do again step above with installMaker app or similar

You have to insert a kext for your Ethernet 

if your keyboard is an usb one I do not know

try to change USB port 

to use WiFi or Bluetooth you have also to declare others kext

you have also to build your mmio part....
