[Solved] Partition disappeared after the high sierra upgrade!

[dandi98]

Hi, I updated from mac osx sierra to high sierra. After the upgrade has disappeared, the cluster boot partition disappears.
My clover version is: 'Clover v2.4 r4173 Legacy boot mode'.
The upgrade was performed on a 120GB SSD Kingston. Did anyone have the same problem?
Thanks in advance

If after you upgrade to High Sierra you found yourself without the system boot partition follow this guide!
- Create a bootable high Sierra key with Unibest 8
- After you create the usb key, start it and use it to boot on your internal drive.
- Download Clover configurator and run the bootloader update
- Mount the EFI partition of your internal disk.
- Copy the apfs.efi file to the EFI / Clover / drivers64 / folder.
Turn off your hackintosh, remove the key, turn on your hackintosh and your system will be bootable again!

PS: To avoid creating the key I recommend doing this before you leave with the upgrade!

I'm so glad I found this post! Thank you!!!

Before I followed the above instructions, I couldn't see ANY of my other internal HDDs. But after this, 1 of the 3 HDDs is now showing. Luckily, it's the drive i'm using as my hybrid data folders (documents, downloads, dropbox, etc), which are symlinks. Those all new work perfectly as they did in Sierra. But the other 2 drives still aren't showing. How do I fix this?
