I have followed all of the directions, but my ofw and cfw are the same. I load into them separately from hekate. Cfw 17.0.1 AMS Ofw 17.0. Profile and Games show on both also. Even tinfoil installs on ofw side. Please help.

The only difference between ofw and cfw is whether you patch the OS or not.
Best practive is to create a EmuMMC for cfw and use SysMMC for ofw. This way you separate the two. If you didn't create a EmuMMC or if you use SysMMC for cfw then the things you install while in cfw will be installed in SysMMC hence that is also visible from ofw.
Hope that made sense

What directions did you follow? It sounds like you either didn't create an emuMMC or that your ini is set to boot to CFW (sysMMC) and stock, instead of CFW (emuMMC) and stock. I recommend stating what directions you followed and posting your hekate ini file as another user suggested.
Here is my configuration. It works on my other switch, but not on this one.

Put files to root of sd. Create partition. Create emuMMC.

Check your system string if it says E then you have an emunand, if it says S then it is Sysnand CFW.
The ini looks okay. As far as which directions you used, I meant what guide did you use to mod your Switch? Rentry, NH, or some YouTube video or AIO pack? Also, was the emuMMC created when the Switch already had a bunch of games on it and with your profile set up? If so, naturally the emuMMC is going to appear to be the same as the sysMMC. Do as Hayato said, look in system settings at your FW version to see if one has and E and the other has an S. If so, you should be good to go.
I used a YouTube video. Got the files from github. It worked on my old switch. I thought it was weird when I booted up. And all of my games and profile were Already loaded.

Is there a way to wipe the switch And start over?
Before starting over, boot into "Atmosphere" from your Hekate menu. Now select the cog wheel on the home screen and then to System on the left hand side. On the top it lists your FW. Is there an E or an S after the FW version? Now do the same after booting into "Stock". Is there an E or S after the FW version? Check both, then post back here. You may not need to start over.
If you want to start from scratch, just wipe your SD card and follow one of these guides instead of a YouTube video, as the YouTube videos are usually outdated.

If you follow the nh-server guide, you'll have to also download the files from the first post in this thread and put them on your SD card: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-hekate-fss0-fusee-package3.571543/
Last bit of help for now, be careful to not update your Switch to 18.0 for the time being. Keep airplane mode on (bluetooth can be enabled when airplane mode is on to still use Joycons when not attached to the tablet).

1) Enable Airplane Mode on both "Atmosphere" and "Stock"
2) Disable Auto-RCM if enabled
3) Completely power down the Switch
4) While holding the volume button down (both - & +), press and hold the power button
5) Let go of the power button once the Nintendo logo appears, but keep holding the volume button until the Maintenance Mode screen appears
6) Let go of the volume button once the Maintenance Mode screen appears, then press the power button to power off the Switch
7) You can now re-enable Auto-RCM if it was previously enabled
That pending update will now be gone on the next reboot and it will now correctly show your FW version (and the E or S). Try again after clearing the update and post back. Remember to turn airplane mode on first so it doesn't redownload the update.
Thanks... I'll try this as soon as I get home.
There is an S after the firmware. 17.0.1 Ams 1.6.2!s
It says that for both "Atmosphere" and "Stock"? I would then suggest you go ahead with wiping the sd card & starting over with one of the guides mentioned. It really doesn't take too long and since you've done some of it before it should be a breeze for the most part.
I will do tomorrow. It's weird because I've done the process with other switches with no problem. But when I do the exact same process with my current switch I get the same result.

It works correctly now. Thanks guys

@The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long. -

It takes me 3 hours every week to cut my grass, and I have to have music playing, not to mention the noise canceling earbuds, so I don't have to hear that lawnmower noise. I do play iHeart radio often also when get board of my music.
