spidey123 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi guys, well after numerous weeks of testing High Sierra with APFS, I've decided I want to go back and test it using HFS instead. Unfortunately the OS has started to crash again and graphic glitches continue to show up. I don't want to go back to Sierra though but I would like to experiment with HS using HFS+ instead to see if the issues will stop. From what I have been reading it should. Problem is I can't get the my Time Machine back up to reinstall in HFS. I also can't get those extra Clover Preboot entries options to show up anymore during bootup. I believe that has something to do with reinstalling the OS back to HFS+. Does anyone know how I can get my Time Machine Backup to install as HFS instead of APFS?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2017 Clone the SSD to an HFS+J formatted drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidey123 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Ok finally getting a chance to Clone my SSD to an external drive so that I can then restore it and be on HS with HFS+ instead of APFS. But how I get CC Cloner to make a copy of the EFI Drive? Is it even possible? Or is the EFI cloned automatically since its part of the MAC OS PARTITION?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2017 Not it doesn't Clone the EFI partition. Just install Clover and copy over the Clover folder. Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ok thanks Jake Lo. I did it. I actually got the EFI to clone over as well. I just mounted the EFI partition on my SSD and copied it to the other HDD's EFI and it worked Graphic Issues still exist. Battery status works again though. Have a lot ofwork from my job to catch up on this weekend. So, I'm going to be testing it hard. Hopefully no more crashing. Also, I notice that everything is a tad zippier now. I know APFS is suppose to make things faster for SSD's but I noticed a snappier system with HFS+ Tommorow I will try to see if I can fix the graphics issues by increasing VRAM up to 1028. On APFS this made the computer crash even more. I'll post my results for others. Thanks Jake Lo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
