You won't be able to access this drive through explorer- instead, you need to do it through Task Manager. Now, you should see an EFI drive in Windows. The title is usually "Unknown", but if you see none of this, you probably chose the wrong drive.)Īssign letter=s (or whatever drive letter you want, as long as it isn't already occupied) exit Select partition x (x for the clover partition- for me, the clover partition was 200MB. Select disk # (where # is the disk number of the disk with Clover) list partition List disk (If you have more than one disk, take note of which one you installed the Clover EFI onto.) You can mount the clover EFI partition in Windows by doing the following: Generally clover is used only for OS X, since well, as far as I'm aware it was created specifically with Hackintoshes in mind. It's not what you think it is, if you want to run other operating systems on your Mac, use virtualization software.All Clover Configurator does is mount the EFI partition, and give user-friendly way of editing the ist (an OS X properties list file) located in clover. Mac Users, unless you are extremely technical and knowledgeable, don't try installing this on a real Mac (Apple hardware), you almost certainly will 'brick' it. Clover configuration is used to 'configure' Clover. For the same reason the page on Clover Configurator shouldn't be on MacUpdate either. If you want to discuss 'hacking' a Mac, there are plenty of other sites. Clover by itself is not a violation, but it's only purpose is to assist the installation of macOS on non Apple hardware, which is a violation. just as we don't condone posting piracy related software or information on this site, we shouldn't discuss software that knowingly or unknowingly causes users to violate their Apple user agreements. You shouldn't bite the/a hand that feeds you. This site is a public marketplace and forum for users AND developers of Apple software developers who make money supporting Apple and the Apple eco-system. What you do behind closed doors is your business. Now whatever anyone's personal opinion on hackintosh, that's fine. Second, Apple does not permit the installation of macOS on non Apple hardware, which is the only use for using Clover it is a violation of the EULA and copyright. First off all, installing Clover on 'real' Mac will likely result in a non bootable machine, requiring a complete reformat of the drive. It is for use with 'hackintosh' machines, non Apple hardware that is rigged to boot macOS. I don't see it more an issue than if installing a ZFS filesystem on your drive, even though Apple wouldn't want you to do so. )īut after all, provided you put a disclaimer for the non savvy, why not put it here? It's related to MacOS, it's not piracy, it doesn't modify the OS. I was indeed surprised to find it here for 2 reasons: one is because of course it's meant in the first place for the hackintosh scene - but again, some people might find it interesting to have a different bootloader to boot Windows or Linux on their Mac (I haven't tried it myself.) - and two because I think the people who need it already know what to do with it and where to find it. On the other hand, I agree with Mcr about the need for a disclaimer, just in case some kamikaze would try and install it on a real Mac without knowing what they're doing! :-D I don't think this is the place for a debate about wether or not it's legit to use Clover on real Macs (some people do) or hackintoshes, but what Clover does it does it well.
