    Now that I'm all set up... Best way to make a clone backup?

    Yep, like a charm. I cloned my OSX drive, shut down, hooked up the clone and disconnected the original drive and it worked fine, didn't have to do a thing to make it bootable. And yeah I use time machine as well, but I wanted an exact, bootable copy of my OSX drive in case installing an OS...

    Now that I'm all set up... Best way to make a clone backup?

    Thanks, guys! I finally got around to using clonezilla to make a backup, so I could try out upgrading to 10.11.1. Worked like a charm. :)

    Now that I'm all set up... Best way to make a clone backup?

    I'm looking for the best way to just completely clone my drive, EFI partition and all so that if something goes awry, I could just switch to the clone drive without skipping a beat. Anyone know the best (and hopefully free) way to do this?

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    It worked! I'm booting without a thumb drive now, and have everything on my machine working great (including audio, bluetooth, GPU, etc.). Thank you!

    Ah I see. I will keep an eye out for your guide then! Thanks!

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    Ok thank you, I will make sure I have the latest BIOS installed! But when you said "There is a fix for this. Hang in there a little longer until it is published." what were you referring to exactly? What is the fix a part of (Clover? Post install package?)? Thanks again! Really excited to...

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    Well that's good news. :) Will it be an update to Clover or something else? Just wondering where I should watch for it. Thanks!

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    I decided to start over completely. I re-made my installer, wiped my SSD and reinstalled. Got the clover installer, installed it. Same exact issue. If I set up my bios for UEFI only then my SSD no longer shows up at all. :\

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    Yep, I did. Tried a couple times, even tried following the instructions just prior to the EFI folder copying, with the install settings for clover. Also tried copying the boot folder in addition to copying the clover folder. :(

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck. :\ I was able to mount both the HDD and USB EFI partitions and copy over the contents to the HDD partition, but upon rebooting without the USB drive plugged in, my motherboard doesn't think the HDD is bootable.

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    Thank you so much! I will try this out ASAP when I get home from work and report back. :)

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    Hey thanks for the reply -- can't believe I forgot to put my setup in the OP. No it's not the X58 Sabertooth (funny enough though I used to have one of those, and it was a PITA to install OSX on, I remember), it is an ASRock Z87E-ITX, which I believe supports UEFI booting...

    I hope bumps are allowed here, because I'm completely stumped and a little desperate. :)

    Cant find Kernels/kernel

    Hm, I'm not sure but I would think you should be able to boot into the USB even if you didn't have any drives plugged in at all.

    Cant find Kernels/kernel

    I had this same problem. It has something to do with the USB installer seeing OS X stuff on your SSD. I had to wipe the SSD from another machine, then the installer booted fine.

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    Thanks.. But what do I do after that? Do you mean mount it before installing Clover? (I just tried doing that and still have the same results). For what it's worth, when I run the clover install pkg file, I see the efi partition show up in my devices in Finder.

    Not greeted with Disk Utility

    I got that too. Did yours auto-reboot shortly after starting to install the first time?

    I'm so close! El Cap installed but Clover doesn't want to install on my SSD.

    So I've got a working install of El Cap now, but I need to boot with the USB installer, otherwise my SSD isn't recognized as bootable. I ran the Clover_v2.3k_r3270_UEFI.pgk, as well as CustoMac Essentials.pkg. The clover package said it installed successfully, but if I reboot without the USB...
