Clover Boot Disk includes tools and partition images to help you create macOS Mojave bootable USB from Windows in just a few clicks.

Introduce

I have successfully created a macOS Mojave bootable USB from macOS. Then I thought I should back up the partition of the macOS installer and share it with everyone who wants to use it from Windows.

I have created two partition image files, the first is Clover Bootloader and the second one is macOS installer.  The only thing you need to do is use Partition Image Mapper to use these two files as two real partitions on your USB.

Clover Boot Disk is the name after you have a USB bootable via Clover. I have not tested on the official MAC. It works for Hackintosh machines. Clover Boot Disk supports both Legacy BIOS and UEFI modes, because Clover supports both modes.

This article does not instruct you to use Clover Bootloader, as well as install macOS. You need to study for your own. Or you can install macOS on VMware Workstation to get familiar or experience.

Clover Boot Disk

Download

Clover Boot Disk includes 3 files:

  • Clover.img
    This is the partition image of Clover Bootloader. It allows you to boot into Clover in both UEFI and Legacy modes.
  • OSX_10.14.0_Installer.hfs
    This is a partition image of the macOS Mojave installer.
  • PartIMGMapper.exe
    Partition Image Mapper helps you to use the two partition images above as two real partitions on the USB.
  • CloverBootDiskCreator.exe

Download all files at:

Please check the file MD5.txt to make sure that the downloaded files are not corrupted.

How to?

Once downloaded, we will use the Partition Image Mapper as the steps below. This tool is part of AIO Boot.

For Macintosh, you should not, nor need the MAP file Clover.img. Only use the .HFS file. But for Hackintosh, you need to map both files.

  1. Format the USB drive to NTFS. Because FAT32 can not contain files larger than 4GB. Skip this step if you are using NTFS.
  2. Create the folder /AIO/File/PartIMG on the USB drive and copy the Clover.img and OSX_10.14.0_Installer.hfs files to this folder.
  3. Run PartIMGMapper.exe
    Create macOS Sierra bootable USB from Windows

    1. Select Clover.img in row 1.
    2. Select OSX_10.14.0_Installer.hfs in row 2. You need to select HFS/HFS+ under Type.
    3. Select the Clover box under Install MBR if you want to boot Clover in Legacy mode.
  4. Click MAP button.
  5. The tool will back up the partition table information for later restoration. The file has .MBR extension in the same directory as PartIMGMapper.exe.
  6. Once used, run PartIMGMapper.exe, click UNMAP and select the previously backed up MBR file. All data and partitions will be restored as before.

Clover Boot Disk Creator

Some users have reported that they experience an error when using Partition Image Mapper. If you also encounter errors, you can Clover Boot Disk Creator tool. However, your USB will lose all data, only use this tool if the Partition Image Mapper does not work.

Clover Boot Disk Creator

  1. Run CloverBootDiskCreator.exe.
  2. Clover: Select the Clover.img file.
  3. OSX: Selects the OSX_10.14.0_Installer.hfs file.
  4. Target Disk: Select your USB.
  5. Click OK.

If you encounter an error, Access is denied, which means that your USB is used by another program, please close all these programs, or use diskpart to clean the USB first.

Configuration

For PC (hackintosh), you need to add the appropriate KEXT to the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other directory. I have added FakeSMC.kext and USBInjectAll.kext. You can find KEXT at the repository of RehabMan and tonymacx86. Choose the right KEXT for your hardware to ensure the functionality works.

Personally I have encountered a “kernel panic” error, I have added NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to fix this error. I also added IntelMausiEthernet.kext to support networking for the Intel® 82579 Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

You also need to configure the Clover Bootloader, its configuration file is /EFI/CLOVER/config.splist. You can modify this file to change Clover theme, SMBIOS, Arguments… My computer has a NVIDIA Quadro 1000M, I was unable to boot (hang apple) until it disabled. If you also experience the same issue, you can disable the Nvidia graphics card by editing its configuration file.

Open the config.splist file and look for:

<key>Arguments</key>
<string>-v darkwake=0</string>

Add nv_disable=1 to two string tags.

<key>Arguments</key>
<string>-v darkwake=0 nv_disable=1</string>

Or enter it directly in the Boot Args section of the Clover Bootloader Options.

If Disk Utility reported error MediaKit reports not enough space on device for requested operation when Erase, I have shown how to fix this in the link. Alternatively, you can use GParted to create Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partitions and convert to APFS using Disk Utility.

If the latest version does not work, try the older versions.

  5. I believe everything published was actually very logical.
    But, consider this, suppose you composed a catchier post
    title? I am not saying your information is not good, but what if you added a post title that makes people desire more?
    I mean Create macOS Mojave bootable USB from Windows with Clover Boot Disk is kinda vanilla.

    You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post headlines
    to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring
    your posts a little bit more interesting.

  8. macOS 10.13.6 has expired and have the same time issues as macOS 10.14.

    My advice is to go here and get the images with clover included :

    https://www.olarila.com/topic/6278-new-olarila-images/

    https://www.olarila.com/topic/5822-olarila-images-torrents/

    Format the USB to FAT32 and extract the bz2 and use the .raw file inside with a program called balenaEtcher.
    After its done you have a bootable installer that dosen’t do any trouble.
    I did find some problems with their pre-installed Clover settings.
    If you have them too, you can make an Extrnal Clover Bootloader with your settings and load the setup from there. Make the UEFI Entry with Hasleo EasyUEFI.

  11. If you receive the error “This copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can`t be used to install macOS.” you need to go into the BIOS and set your clock back. This is because the installation certificate expired sometime in 2019. I did July 14th, 2018 and that fixed it for me.

    If you receive the error “Attempting System Restart … MACH Reboot’” you need to check AppleIntelCPUPM under Clover options before attempting to boot the installer and then add it to your config.plist as soon as you are able to download Clover Configurator. I hope this helps!

  13. Hello, I’m Sagnik Ganguly, I’m trying to dual boot macOS Mojave 10.14.0 and Windows 10 Pro (Already Installed) with Legacy Boot in a PC with Gigabyte motherboard and Intel i5 Processor. I have followed the following guide: https://www.aioboot.com/en/clover-boot-disk/. The first method “Using PartIMGMapper” listed there was giving the error “This file may be fragmented, use Defraggler and try again” when loading the “OSX_10.14.0_Installer.hfs” file so I’ve used “Clover Boot Disk Creator” to create the bootable macOS Installer USB. Everything went fine but when I’m booting from the USB the Clover Bootloader loads but shows a black screen & cursor (not blinking) and freezes. Even the condition is the same in VirtualBox, I’ve used the following guide to boot from USB: https://www.aioboot.com/en/boot-from-usb-in-virtualbox/. Is there any way to fix the problem, if yes then how?

    Here is my System Information: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eMl85HfVhvP2CUeOEHAo8BtsNopB9ods

  15. Good to see that bootable Mac with Windows works otherwise every other method including transmac sucks. I don’t recommend to go with that method it’s a time and data waste.
    But the hfs file of Mac os high serria 10.13.6 given above is corrupt or damaged after successful boot the mac installer says “mac can’t be installed by this due damaged or missing file.” So don’t download it.
    Good luck.

    1. On the USB drive you’re going to “Create New Folder” called “AIO”; then go to that folder and “Create New Folder” called “File”; go to that folder and “Create New Folder” called “PartIMG” – when you view the path in the software, it will show as DriveLetter:/AIO/File/PartIMG/*.*

    3. OK SO EACH IS A FOLDER IE A FOLDER CALLED AIO ON USB A FOLDER CALLED FILE INSIDE THAT AND ANOTHER FOLDER INSIDE THAT CALLED PARTIMG

      Reply

    4. /AIO/File/PartIMG this Means :

      make folder that name is AIO
      GO TO AIO AND MAKE FOLDER FİLE
      GO TO FİLE AND MAKE FOLDER PARTIMG

    I followed your instructions thoroughly but when booting I get this message:

    “Welcome to Clover 4674

    Is it possible I have to use a particular kext?

      Right in the uefi 64 bit drivers section then you should be good to go

    1. A couple questions:
      1) what is your bios legacy or uefi
      2) are you running as administrator
      3) is the clover file possibly currupt

      Reply

    2. Legacy mode is intended for non-uefi bios that is the only time you would use it, if you have graphical and mouse support in bios that will be uefi, if not its legacy bios

    Luckily it was working but after updating AIOCreator.exe to v.0.9.8.17 Clover doesnt work after 7_ boot its showing bios configuration…

    Furthermore it would be nice, if you coul´d post an entry for starting Iso-File of netbsd like its been done for linux …

        Maybe the CloverLegacy file has now wrong content or my stick cause problem in bios because its not recognizing as UEFI.

            3. Restart now from menu the pc.

            After restart should do that what you said @Drifter

      1. NOT YET….but i had tried high sierra.hfs last time in my ‘Macbook Air’ and got some required files missing error during Installation process…So i have to use Tyler Woods method to create disk image.hfs file to use with your clover boot disk..

        Currently i had ‘ macOS_Mojave_10.14[18A391][MAS].dmg’. I will create ‘Mojave.iso.cdr’ file using ‘ macOS_Mojave_ISOMaker.sh’ to see if it will be identical to your ‘OSX_10.14.0_Installer.hfs’ or not ?

  50. I was able to get PartIMGMapper to run by using the +hd switch. I noticed that the Clover box is greyed out and I cannot check it. I went ahead and ran through the rest of the steps. When I get to the part where I run CloverBootDiskCreator, I get an error stating ‘There are no hard disk on your PC is supported to repartition. This tool only supports repartition for removable devices such as USB, SD Cards.

    Is there a switch that I can run with CloverBootDiskCreator for it to work?

    1. Want to use it for Mac or Hackintosh?
      For Mac, you don’t need Clover at all. If you use UEFI, you don’t need to tick the Clover box.
      ————-
      You can check the box WinNT5 instead of Clover.

        When I get to the part where I run CloverBootDiskCreator, I get an error stating ‘There are no hard disk on your PC is supported to repartition. This tool only supports repartition for removable devices such as USB, SD Cards.

        1. Sorry. Because the system has recognized your USB as a fixed hard disk.
          My tool does not support fixed hard disks.

          Reply

          3. Going to try in a Win 7 VM. Seems Microsoft requires USB drives to mount as fixed disks

          4. It appears to be newer USB keys are forced to mount as fixed disks. An older USB stick should work.

  51. Dear Sir,
    I’m Run PartlMGMapper in This Time No Devices are supported. The program will exit now.
    and
    Run CloneBootDiskCreator In this time there are no hard disk on your PC is supported to repartition.
    This tool only supports repartition for removable devices such as USB, SD cards.
    But I’M Install Pen Drive 64 GB. So Please Tell me how to Fix this error

    1. Maybe the system is recognizing your device as a fixed hard disk.
      Run PartIMGMapper.exe with the following command (cmd):

      PartIMGMapper.exe +hd

  53. Running macos on a PC or laptops or Live from USB pen drives it’s almost impossible, no one really has done it correctly yet, all you see here and there and in YouTube are just scams, don’t wast your time, if you like macos go and get a mac laptop or mac desktop PC.

  55. Thanks for this installer. I can only install on Sierra and not High Sierra on my Yoga 500.
    Besides I can only install on external drive. I have commented on this earlier above.
    Disk Utility cannot find my internal drive after many days of trying and trying out
    different ktexts.

    Maybe if you have time, please take a look at why the internal drive is not detected by
    Sierra. Is this because Sierra has bugs?

    I was able to install High Sierra once only. I don’t remember how I did that! After that the
    installer refused to install again – cannot duplicate this process!!!

    If you have any personal experiences do share.

    Thanks for your great and simple installer anyway!

  56. Good afternoon Tu.
    1. Do you have any utility to create HFS file – just like yours (install images – 10.13.4 and 10.12.6)?
    Maybe you can recommend one. As a newbie, I would like to create an HFS
    image for El Capitan. This is because your Image Mapper is so easy to use.

    2. BTW I manage to install your 10.12.6 (Osx Sierra) on my Lenovo Laptop.
    It would not recognize the internal HD so I have to install on an external drive.
    We are doing this at our college and over ten of us are doing this.Maybe some of my
    friends may have written to you cos they have different personal problems.

    ***One important thing regarding this install. It sometimes work and sometimes not.
    So I have to rebuild my install diskso many times until I can memorize Aio>File>PartIMG!!!!
    Format again. Copy again. Run PartIMGMapper again. Ha!
    AuuuuGGh! God knows.

    Regards.

    1. Hey,

      1. You can use any supported program to create create macOS bootable usb.
      2. Create a partition image file from the partition containing the macOS installer using software such as GNOME Disks.

      For other issues, I think you should ask in the hackintosh forums.

  58. Tried on Lenovo Yoga 500. Manage to get to the install page.
    Sierra can only see the install USB pen drive.
    Sierra cannot see the main hard disk in the notebook. How do I proceed?

    Another question. Is it possible to install on an external drive such as
    WD passport? I tried but PartIMGMapper cannot find or accept the
    external drive – so it exit.

    Thanks.

    Reply

    1. I have no solution to the first question.

      If you want to use the Partition Image Mapper for a fixed disk, just run it with the following command:

      PartIMGMapper.exe +hd

      Please note that you take all risks with the data on the disk.

        1. I think the problem is that you have not configured Clover and added the appropriate KEXT. You should ask this question on the Hackintosh forums, maybe someone will give you their EFI directory and just replace it with the CLOVER drive.

      1. OK, used diskpart to clean USB.
        This time PartIMGMapper was successfull.
        Allas when booting from the newly created USB I get only windows (which is the OS on the computer’s disk)
        The USB has 3 partitions:
        *: 250 MB unallocated
        D: 6 GB other (assuming this is xOS)
        F: Clover 200 MB
        *: 8.12 GB unallocated (rest of the USB)
        Files in Clover folder: EFI, Librrary, boot7
        does that seem fine?

      1. That Diskpart (clean) did the trick (for usage with the old tool CloverBootDiskCreator)!

        But in any case after pressing Boot MacOS button in Clover after a (re)boot, the system shows me a white Apple and then reboots (into Windows).

  67. Ok, so that’s what I did to be able to install. Since the The path /System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg appears to be missing or damaged. I managed to find App Store high Sierra on the web downloaded it took the OS Install from it and replaced it in the USB that hat made it work installing. Right now everything works except from booting directly from hard drive without USB. I would like to configure in the clover to load from hard drive but in the EFI folder there’s no clover and config.plist. In the EFI thes only EFI, APPLE and no clover map… Is there any other way to configure high Sierra to boot from hard drive? I tried with multibeast but it completely damaged my hard drive…. Thanks

If I will manage to get the high Sierra install from the App Store and replace the OS install.mpkg in the USB will the installation be succeeded then? Please help

  71. Is that the reason I get black screen with the apple white logo while I’m pressing the Mac OS X base system that just stuck and don’t install? so configuring the clover in the config.plist in the USB will fix the problem that I can’t install? Thanks

    Reply

  72. I forgot to write that when I restart the computer I get the clover with no install hard Sierra but I do get: Boot MacOS from OS X base system, when I press on it I get a black screen with white apple logo, I’ve waited an hour nothing happens only same screen.

    Reply

    1. Yes, the macOS partition will be named Mac OS X Base System. You need to configure Clover in the config.splist file and add the appropriate KEXT. You can learn about how to do it on Google. Search on Google to find out how to do it.

  73. Thanks for your reply, can you please explain, is Ubuntu like clover that I can boot when the computer start and load the installation of high Sierra from there and how to do it? Thanks

    1. No, Ubuntu is the operating system, it has support for accessing HFS+ partition on USB. I just want to make sure your USB drive contains HFS+ partition.
      You can create an Ubuntu bootable USB using AIO Boot or Rufus.

        When I replace your .hfs file with the ‘Disk image.hfs’ of above ISO then it boot in Macboot Air 13 directly from .hfs partition. It’s looking .hfs of above ISO already have bootloader ? It boot even without using Clover partition ?

        What exact method you uses to create .hfs ? Does you use official method ? or any Macintosh or Hachintosh mehtod ?
