Mac OS (Monterey) problem

Post by emerald_void »

So I have been running into a problem while trying to get MacOS Monterey to install.

When I launch the OS, I am sent to this screen: Image (in the preview post, my img tag didn't appear to be working so
here is a directly link just in case(https://imgur.com/2b48hUv)I type EXIT on this screen and I am brought to here. Image (https://imgur.com/42EToN1). From there, I go to the following path: Boot Maintenance Manage > Boot From File > HFS volume > Sytem > Library > Core Services > boot.efi (sceen shot of the HFS volume screen Image https://imgur.com/lKY2mKb)

Once I select the boot.efi, it acts like it is going to install but, I keep getting hung up on this screen: Image(https://imgur.com/2SGxgPV)

I left it sitting for around 24 hours (I left it running while I was at work and then when I got home, I didn't get on my PC and forgot about it) and it never got passed that screen. I tried following this video, this guide, this video, and this video and none of them seemed to fix the problem. I have been looking and researching and reading on this for a minute (I've been having this problem for weeks) and I cannot seem to get this to work. So, I was wondering if anyone had any advice?

Not sure if it matters but:

PC Specs:

Graphics: NVIDIA 3060 ti
Ram: 32 gigs
MOBO: asus x570 aorus master
Processor: amd Ryzen 7 3700x


Other Info:

In my settings for the ISO, I have "Enable EFI" turned on. When I turn it off,. I am given this error:
VM Name: MacOS Monterey

Configuration error: Querying "UUID" failed (VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND).
