[Solved] Boot drive is gone???

[P1LGRIM]

Now it can't even reach clover.

LOL, it seems I removed Boot file :S, any way of recover this?

Attach the drive to another Hack or Mac and reinstall Clover to it.

Should I do it on a different Hack or Mac? Or could I install it from the High Sierra installation on this SSD? (I still can boot by using the USB)

It doesn't matter how you do it.

I think you can just install Clover again on the High Sierra drive and it should work. P1LGRIM's advice is sound though, copying the entire EFI folder is almost certain to make your High Sierra drive boot properly. You can mount the EFI volume of any drive with Clover Configurator (https://mackie100projects.altervista.org/download/ccv/)

Sadly it doesn't work. After replacing EFI folder with the one in the USB I can't boot to SSD clover. I tested also removing EFI folder and installing clover via Multibeast newly and it doesn't work.

Can you boot into your internal macOS SSD via USB installer Clover?

If so, then again mount the SSD's EFI volume via Clover Configurator and delete the EFI folder. Empty your trash. Then mount the USB installer's EFI volume via Clover Configurator. Copy the EFI folder from the USB installer's EFI volume to your SSD's EFI volume. Ensure the file structure is the same (/Volumes/EFI/EFI/...)

Then eject your USB installer, clicking Eject All when prompted. Remove the USB installer from your computer so it is no longer connected.

Install Clover r4428 from this link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/files/latest/download

Your motherboard appears to support UEFI, so on the third prompt in Clover, select Customize, then select Install for UEFI Booting Only (see screenshots and carefully follow)

Make sure Clover is successfully installed on your internal macOS SSD and try rebooting. If an error occurs, take a picture and post it.

If you turn on your computer and it POSTs but does not startup, try entering the BIOS and selecting your internal macOS SSD as the first boot option. If given the choice between UEFI or SATA/M.2 then select the UEFI volume/boot option.

It really should work if you follow these steps closely!

I was getting crazy, I tested this several times and a lot of things, and now I think that I found the problem. Maybe this could help, https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-asrock-uefi-boot-fix.174726/, I'm going to test it in some hours.

However it's weird, I was using clover already with Sierra and with UEFI...
