The folder Post-Installation contains custom Clover installers and essential kexts. So I have converted to UEFI, which works fine using the USB stick method.El Capitan Post-Install Tools is an alternative solution to MultiBeast 8.0. I couldn’t get this to work on Sierra and High Sierra because the installer automagically creates a recovery partition which doesn’t get transferred. I have since found you need to run the Clover EFI shell while doing a UEFI boot to get access to the bios boot menu items.

It may be possible to get around this by installing on a USB drive. I’ve got two flavours of linux and efibootmgr refuses to work on both of them. The problem with creating a GPT partitioned disk and installing on it is that you end up with a bios boot menu item ‘Mac OSX’ which you can’t delete, even using the Clover EFI shell or the linux utility efibootmgr. If it worked on your GPT disk then it should be OK on MBR with the same drivers. Disconnect the spare disk and reboot to check the El Capitan installation boots OK and works OK. I needed FakeSMC.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext and a ethernet driver AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext. Install Clover on your new El Capitan partition using the MBR options.Ĭopy the kexts you used to build the USB stick to the new El Capitan partition in EFI>CLOVER>kexts>10.11. Use the Disk Utility to either copy the El Capitan partition to your MBR partition, or create a disk image and restore it to your MBR partition. Use the method described here to build the El Capitan install USB stick and install OSX using the GPT partition scheme on your spare disk drive. The Install OSX El Capitan.app from the App StoreĬonnect your spare drive to your PC.

A spare disk drive – at least 8Gb, preferably USB.
