Need AHCI available in BIOS Setup

[Chris_777]

Hi Guys,

Recently I need to install both macOS High Sierra and Windows 10 ( Dual Boot).

Suceed with Windows installation.

Installing macOS High Sierra and there is no Hardisk come up in Disk Utility, only shows my macOS High Sierra flasdisk installer.

Turns out this is because there is no SATA Option in BIOS Setup, cannot even choose Storage Configuration because doesn't exist.

Any body know how to make SATA Mode Options/Storage Configuration exist so I can choose and enabled it to AHCI?

Thank you.

Non-hacked Mac OS can only be installed on Apple Mac computers. Won't work on your HP notebook.

Yes you need to fold in a hacked storage driver. Lots of websites out there on how to do it (Hackintosh). It's a coming of age for geeks. Not easy to get or keep working right and technically not legal.

But so you know, the BIOS has storage already set to AHCI/native SATA. You could not change it from that. No need to change it to that because it's already there.

Actually, I downloaded AMD macOS High Sierra installer version that support AMD Ryzen, because previously there are installers dedicated for Intel Proccessors only, in the video tutorial I saw someone did it with successful installed it to his HP Laptop with AMD Ryzen APU.

and Yes, I need to have a look at Hackintosh, they have a stable macOS High Sierra installer for AMD Ryzen, but I need to know from them how to tweak it so the installer be able to read my hardrives.

Of course Apple offers no computers based on AMD processors (that I know of) so turning a Ryzen machine into a Hackintosh is a tall order. I am sure it can be done it just will not be easy. Good luck.

Hi,

I have installed a vanilla Mojave image downloaded from the Apple Store on my Probook 640 G1. The so called hacking comes AFTER the initial install or dedicated hackintoshers provide already prepared MacOS image for a usb installer. Try tonymacx86 he's got a plenty of installation guides for HP laptops on its website.
