[GUIDE] Remove extra Clover BIOS boot entries & prevent further problems

[jdizzle]

You have to wipe the drive when you install (in the installer before you start go to the top menu > disk utility, do it there).

THIS WORKS (If you have Windows installed as well on a different drive):
In OSX:
1. Use EFI Mounter (download from Tonymacx86 downloads section) utility to open EFI and go to the BOOT folder.
2. Rename BOOT folder to LAUNCHER
3. Reboot to Windows
In Windows:
1. Download and use EasyUEFI utility to delete any extra boot options.
2. Use EasyUEFI to add a new boot entry, select other OS, name it what you want (I just called it El Capitan) so you can identify it when you boot, and click Browse and go through the file directory \EFI\LAUNCHER\BOOTX64.efi
3. Done

Reboot to OSX then restart several times and make sure you aren't getting extra boot options

Very happy to report that this solution worked perfectly for me. No more typing "bcfg boot dump..." after months...

If not have Windows OS then what have to do? How to remove these entries permanently?

Update to the latest bios

Update to the latest bios

With My GA Z170X gaming, the bios update to F20 sorted that issue completly!

My mobo is g1 sniper z87 and last bios f4 is shity and from 2015. Last stable bios is f3 and I use it.

 

[jdizzle]

hmm, then you will have to go the bcfg boot dump, then remove, then rename boot folder.

if you go from last bios uptade you need to reeinstal the whole thing? I have a windows 10 and Sierra 10.12.3

 

[jdizzle]

You don't have to reinstall your drives if you update BIOS, is that what you mean?

Hello all!

New to Hackintosh (and building computers in general!), but not new to mac; upon completing my first build I figured I'd chime in and help anyone who's in my position
Running:
i5-6600K
GA-Z170X-UD3
ASUS STRIX 970

Since this thread has been alive for the past year or so, I'm just sharing my findings after reading through all 26 pages. I narrowed down my options:

1) Update BIOS
2) EasyUEFI via Windows partition
3) Via Clover & Shell

Fresh out of Microcenter, my MOBO had F6 as the BIOS. I flashed it today and the extra partitions have stopped (it even deleted the older ones). I upgraded to the newest BIOS (F22). The only problem so far was the GPU driver defaulted from Web Driver back to OS X Default Graphics driver. Currently attempting to address the issue following the steps from "Problem 6" from this link: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solving-nvidia-driver-install-loading-problems.161256/

Will update with my progress!
