discomm Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I recently got macOS Mojave running on my E7440, but when I try to boot from my SSD normally, I am presented with the "Invalid Partition Table" error. This happens in both Legacy and UEFI boots, and pressing enter only prompts a "press any key to restart" option. I am, however, perfectly able to boot into my already installed copy of macOS if I do so through the Clover USB I used to install Mojave. When googling to try and find the answer to this, I could only find people with an issue the other way around, where they get this error when attempting to boot the USB rather than the SSD/HDD. The only big change I made when formatting the drive was changing the mode from MBR to Guid. I'd hope this doesn't have anything to do with the error, because I wasn't able to install macOS to the drive when I originally formatted it to MBR. Please don't hesitate to answer or suggest something. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted August 15, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2019 for this model you should have UEFI Enable and Legacy Option ROMs enabled, AHCI enabled. Drive should be formatted with GUID / Journal Extended In Clover folder, remove the following folders: drivers64UEFI and drivers64 Now install this version of Clover with the following settings: Install for UEFI booting only Install Clover in the ESP UEFI Drivers\Recommended Drivers\ApfsDriverLoader UEFI Drivers\Recommended Drivers\AptioMemoryFix UEFI Drivers\Recommended Drivers\AudioDxe UEFI Drivers\Recommended Drivers\DataHubDxe UEFI Drivers\Recommended Drivers\FSInject UEFI Drivers\Recommended Drivers\HFSPlus UEFI Drivers\Additional Drivers\PartitionDxe Install Clover Preference Pane (Optional) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomm Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thank you lots! This got me past the IPT error once I set the boot order right, but now when I try to boot into macOS from the Clover startup menu the Apple logo appears for a split second and the computer restarts back to the Dell logo. This may have something to do with the Clover folder, as I wasn't able to find the installation directory so I couldn't delete the old driver folders. Any tips?

discomm Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 I was using ameeno's instructions/kexts and followed his readme to the best of my ability. Unfortunately, the files you sent didn't fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted August 15, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2019 Make sure you had deleted those 2 folders mentioned above before installing clover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomm Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Those 2 folders don't exist in my /EFI/Clover so I did it on the next place I thought would be relevant, which is my flash drive. It can still boot from that, but this hasn't fixed the issue on the main drive. Is there a directory they're in that I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted August 15, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2019 why don't you replace the EFI folder from your USB to the SSD EFI partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
