Hey guys,

to install my hackintosh, I used a 1TB USB drive and created a 32GB Partition for unibeast to work. I set up my system and everything works fine. Now I need my USB drive back and want to clone the USB installer from the 1TB external disk to a 8GB USB stick. I can't use the disk utility because it wants to clone the complete 1TB and I just need the bits from the 32GB.

/dev/disk4 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk4
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk4s1
2: Apple_HFS Install macOS High S... 32.0 GB disk4s2
3: Apple_HFS Untitled 967.7 GB disk4s3

I just want to copy disk4s1 and disk4s2. Is there any way to do so using the terminal?
 
Use a USB drive with at least 12GB available storage. Run createinstallmedia then replace the new EFI partition (e.g. empty) contents with the contents from your previous installer's EFI partition.
