moving2 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 "Asus Sabertooth x58" running Mac OS Sierra with latest (4184) Clover bootloader following instructions here: http://bytesandbolts.com/macos-10-12-sierra-ga-x58a-ud3r-hackintosh-install-clover/ Most everything important works, but I'm running into a problem when attempting to clone my startup disk using either disk utility or SuperDuper (they use the same underlying method anyway). Drives are internal SATA III SSD and correctly show on desktop with internal drive icons. The target disk keeps unmounting itself during the copy and I get the "disk not ejected properly" message. I've tried: - turning off "put disks to sleep" in energy saver settings - disabling spotlight on all disks, as some reported that as the problem ...but neither helps here. Disk checks out fine in SMART Utility and no unmounting problems in Windows (using HFS+ reader utility). Any suggestions?

Hannah_09 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Have you tried booting your USB installer and tried cloning the drive using the disk utility in there?

No, will give that a shot. But I'm really trying to solve the problem on my boot drive because it also seems to unmount the drive and others attached to the same controller randomly. ONly under OSX, not under Windows.
