Unwanted Clover boot entry in my setup.

[TorqueX86]

Hello guys,

 

Here's what happened:

 

I tried to install a full OSX+Clover on a big USB3 drive, in order to sue it as emergency partition, and since I did that, there seems to be an extra, unwanted entry in the boot screen.

 

" Install OS X on ..... "

 

This boot entry is kind of hardwired on my usual drive that boots and works absolutely perfectly. I don't think this is a partition as it doesn't appear from diskutil list, so how can I get rid of it?

 

TIA for your kind answers!

@TorqueX86,

 

This is due to the presence of boot.efi in the temporary installer files (left behind on your main OSX partition) when you directly run Apple's OSX Installer.app.

 

To fix:
1.  Enable showing of hidden files in Finder by typing the following in terminal...

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder  

2.  Delete the hidden folder named “.IABootFiles” (or it might be "OS X Install Data") in the root directory of your OSX partition...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  You can then re-hide the hidden files.  Type in terminal...

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder

Thank you! Will try and report!

Thank you! Worked like a charm! I only had .IABootFiles folder, deleted it and the unwanted entry disappeared. Ace!
