rj7766 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 So my next issues is the nvme drive not showing up in disk utility. it is a samsung 950. Currently has windows installed and it shows up in the clover bootloader along with the macos install option. once in the installer i go to disk utility and it is not there to format.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 Are you running High Sierra? It's only natively supported in HS. Anything lower will require patching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 did you click on the upper left corner of Disk Utility and select show all devices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj7766 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 i did that and even reopened disk utility. DO i need to preformat the drive to get rid of windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 No unless you want to get rid of Windows. Did you format the free space for OS X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj7766 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 No i did not. I expected to open disk utility and wipe the whole thing. Are you saying I can dual boot with my existing windows install? If so let me know how to format that. the bigger issue is the installer does not see the drive at all. But if I can do something and make another partition that will resolve this let me know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 I assume you can boot to Windows currently? Can you partition the drive from Windows, set the free space for OS X as NTFS and initialize it. Seems there's a bug in HS where non initialized drives are not detected in disk utility.

rj7766 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 yes booting to windows works.. I will try that. But shouldn't it see the windows partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 if that doesn't work, try this In your config.plist, add "\System\Library\Extensions\IONVMeFamily.kext" in "Kernel and Kext Patches"->"ForceKextsToLoad". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
