- I used Kootion 16GB flash drive erased in disk utility for the High Sierra USB installer.
- High Sierra Installer was created using CreateInstallMedia Terminal cmd in my Hackintosh running Sierra 10.12.6 using downloaded macOS High Sierra 10.13. from Apple Store.
- I installed Clover EFI r 4318 on the USB Installer disk after the cmd was completed.
- I checked the contents of EFI /EFI/CLOVER to make sure , they are all OK.
- The numbered kexts folders were sent to trash keeping only "Other" with all the needed kexts including the ones needed for Intel HD 630 (IntelGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu both the latest, Radeon 5450 and possibly for Nvidia)
- Made sure drivers64UEFI contents were OK
- The numbered kexts folders were sent to trash keeping only "Other" with all the needed kexts including the ones needed for Intel HD 630 (IntelGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu both the latest, Radeon 5450 and possibly for Nvidia)
- Checked config.plist and through all the sections were edited to make the Installer disk boot without a lot of troubleshoot. [See images of CLOVER/kexts ...Other /drivers64UEFI (above) and config.plist menus.]
- Inserted the High Sierra USB installer to the front bezel 3.0 USB port of the Target Computer.
- Connected only a Single Seagate SATA Spin disk to SATA port 0 and disconnected the drives for Windows 10 and Linux. from their ports.
- On Powering up , entered BIOS and made changes to BIOS options (See images)
- Booted the USB Installer as the first boot device and pressed F-12 and picked UEFI USB Installer disk to enter CBM screen
- Checked Options>Boot Args: (Screen image)
- Checked all submenus (See images)
- Booted in Verbose mode and took series of images for documenting progress. [See images]
- At macOS Utility screen , chose disk Utility but the target SATA Spin disk was not seen in the screen even with cmd+2
- Went to Utility>Terminal and diskutil list command was run to find the IDENTIFIER of Target Seagate 500GB SATA Disk.[it was /disk0]
- Ran the Partition and Format cmd : diskutil partitionDisk disk0 1 GPT HFS+ HISIERRA R
- Within 2 minutes the Partition and format was completed successfully. [See image]
- Exited Terminal and accessed Utilities>MacOS Installation.
- Agreed to the license and started installation
- First part was 8 minutes
- At automatic reboot pressed F-12 (Hotkey to Select Boot disk) and selected UEFI High Sierra USB installer Flash disk
- In CBM screen the Check mark was on the USB installer disk. I made sure I will boot the HISIERRA System disk after making sure all the Clover choices are from the USB installer)
- The HISIERRA System disk booted in Verbose had no problem for the 22 minute further installation. (see images)
- On reboot pressed F-12 >UEFI USB Installer>CBM screen > 3 icons >selected HISIERRA System disk >Booted Verbose
- Booted and reached the Welcome screen and completed the installation
- I ran Clover EFI downloaded from SourceForge and then replaced the EFI folder created in the System disk with the EFI folder from USB installer after mounting both EFI partitions on the desktop using Clover Configurator Vibrant.

- Rebooted once gain through the USB installer for the last time and switched to HISIERRA system disk
