May 18, 2018 Now copy this InstallESD.DMG as you need it in TransMac to Create macOS High Sierra Bootable USB Installer on Windows 10. Ok, so lets continue with TransMac Restore Disk Image to Drive. On this screen, select the InstallESD.DMG file and click OK. This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I build a bootable usb hackintosh without a Apple or Mac computer? I have this extra pc I want to build it on but every where I checked states that I need to use software that must be installed on a MAC in order to build my hackintosh. So I am confused. Access to macOS. After formatting the drive, the next step is to create a macOS flash drive installer.
So you’ve locked yourself out of macOS by making changes to your Clover EFI folder and you don’t have a backup to get back in. Fortunately there is a way to make changes to your EFI partition on Windows in case this happens to you.
Step 1. Mount EFI Partition on Windows

In order to be able to access the macOS EFI partition on Windows we first need to mount it. There are a couple ways to mount an EFI partition, in my opinion the simplest way is to give it a drive letter.
Doing so will shift your Windows computer's boot priority so that installation USB drive will be selected as the boot point once you plug it in. You may have to press another key to confirm this choice. Hackintosh.com links to everything you need to build a Hackintosh and get macOS Big Sur (macOS 11) as well as many earlier versions of Mac OS X running on an unsupported computer - instructions, step-by-step 'how to' guides, and tutorials - in addition to installation videos, lists of compatible computers and parts, and communities for support.
Hackintosh Windows Usb Drive
- Install MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition
- Open MiniTool Partition Wizard
- Right-Click the EFI partition and click Change Letter
- Select an unused drive letter (I picked Z:)
- Click Apply
- Apply pending Changes? : Yes
- Click OK
The EFI partition will not be mounted as you can see in Windows Exporer, but you wont have permission to access or edit it just yet.
Step 2. Access & Edit EFI partition on Windows

In order to open the EFI partition on Windows and be able to make changes to it’s contents we are going to use a third party program called Explorer++

- Download Explorer++
- Unzip explorer++.zip by right-clicking the zip file and selecting Extract All… and click Extract
- Open the now unzipped explorer++ folder
- Right-Click Explorer++ and select Run as administrator
- You should now see your EFI folder which you can open and make changes too through the Explorer++ program.
Done.
