2 Disks: Windows + Data + macOS
Some users may have a setup where they dedicate a disk for Windows another for data, and want to put macOS on the data drive.
To fix that, make sure that:
- the DATA disk is GPT formatted, if not, convert it with gdisk
- the DATA disk has a EFI partition:
- if not, then create a 200MB (or a bit more) partition (it doesnt matter where it is)
- format it as FAT32
- set its flag as EFI System Partition (or EF00 in
gdisk) - you can do that on diskpart by
- resizing the existent partition, leaving a space where you will have macOS + EFI partition (>=61GB), then run in diskpart:
create partition efi size=200format fs=fat32 quick label="EFI"- and that's it
- the DATA disk has a partition formatted (NTFS/FAT32/whatever) that will receive macOS, Disk Utility in macOS does not play well with empty space.
- Boot and install macOS on the target disk.
Notes:
- it doesnt matter where you install clover, be it on the windows disk's EFI (to make one EFI to rule them all) or the target's EFI (to separate them)
- Some systems may limit the bootable drives options (especially on laptops, desktops can have it easy)
