Answer is no. A volume is a disk partition and cannot be further partitioned... One can only adjust partition sizes of a disk and add/remove partitions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning https://coriolis-systems.com/static/support/help/iPartition/pgs/schemes.html https://www.howtogeek.com/193669/whats-the-difference-between-gpt-and-mbr-when-partitioning-a-drive/ MBR and GPT/GUID are disk partitioning schemes. On a given disk, only partitions formats can differ and co-exist, not partition schemes which are unique. It's not very common to convert disk partitioning from one scheme to the other but there are tools to do so. Usually, one simply entirely wipes out a disk and starts afresh with the desired/target partition scheme. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-convert-mbr-disk-gpt-move-bios-uefi-windows-10 If you're trying to install OS X/macOS on an MBR disk, you need to apply the MBR patch. Whatever you attempt or decide to do with your SSD, there's only 1 thing to do if you cannot lose your data... NB: no multiple posting on the forum for the same matter please!

It's not supported, so you can only run OS X/macOS on the HD4600. Ideally, disable the AMD via DSDT or SSDT patching to save power.

There's a guide, if you cared to search a little... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-clover-guide/

You can of course retrieve the kext from any existing pack or scrounge the Net for it. Can't comment on your copy/paste issue but this would have to be a user error. No, add-on kexts placed on /S/L/E will not be removed/deleted at the next update. But add-on kexts are lost with the rest in that folder. That's why it's been recommended for years to keep them separate and in folders such as /E/E or, more recently, /L/E. Regarding sleep, it's probably incorrect settings. Did you disable hibernation for instance? If you want to patch AppleRTC, you can simply activate the Clover option. It may be worth you spend some time running the Clover Configurator app and reading Clover's wiki so that you learn about Clover and its numerous options.

Install EAPDFix kext to get audio through the headphones. You may still experience glitches on occasion when you plug/replug the earphones, in which case pout the laptop to sleep and wake it. That'll bring everything back to normal. Can't comment on the stated sleep issue with 16GB of RAM but I guess you know what to do to verify what you were told. I'd be surprised if it made a difference though...

This (cheap) Chinese tablet-PC seems limited to the Indian market so feedback on Hackintoshing will not be widespread. Manufacture not for the faint-hearted! https://fccid.io/pdf.php?id=2718894 https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9581-haier-y11b-el-capitan-installation/

You can only drop SSDT with Chameleon/Enoch but I must admit I've never seen that MATS table being dropped in Clover before. I've only seen DMAR + SSDT CpuPm + SSDT CPU0Ist.

Really sorry but I've not had my hands on any Skylake platform yet, so no experience whatsoever.

VGA output unsupported on those laptops...

Further to a discussion held on another forum, it's worth confirming that there are fake Apple BCM94360CD cards offered by sellers from the Far East... A real & genuine Apple BCM94360CD card carries the following subsystem ids: wifi = 106b:0111 BT = 05ac:828d Only genuine cards are guaranteed to work OOB and to the full. Other genuine Apple BCM94360 cards include: BCM94360CS (2013 MBP like MacBookPro11,x) -> Wifi = 106b:0134 | BT = 05ac:8289. This is a 3 x antennas model. BCM943602CS (2015 MBP like MacBookPro12,1) -> Wifi = 106b:0133 | BT = 05ac:8290. This a 3 x antenna model. BCM94360CS2 (2013 MBA like MacBookAir6,2) -> Wifi = 106b:0117 | BT = 05ac:828f. This is a 2 x antenna model and the smallest card of the lot. Also worth noting that these cards do not have the same antenna connectors: BCM94360CD, like BCM94331CD, is fitted with larger U.FL/IPEX (IPX1) 2mm connectors, the same that are commonly fitted to most mini-PCIe wireless cards BCM94360CS/2CS/CS2 are fitted with smaller MHF4 (IPX4) 1.5mm connectors, the same that are commonly fitted to most M.2 wireless cards

I've no idea of what error you get...

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9916-high-sierra-on-dell-skylake-hd520/&do=findComment&comment=70960

Why not? Overall, same process as per Sierra but make sure to use a High-Sierra compatible Clover version.

I already did and was a little scared...

Which Enoch version are you using? r2889? You've configured Enoch with boot parameter KernelBooter_kexts set to Yes but there is no Extensions folder with kexts inside your /Extra folder. You'll never inject kexts in that way. KernelBooter_kexts operates without cache so kexts placed in /L/E will be ignored. Where are your add-on kexts? You stated you used iMac17 SMBIOS, but that's only with Clover. Your /Extra folder shows MacBook9,1 SMBIOS (which I think is perfectly Ok if you have a laptop)... It would help if you would specify your exact Dell model and its hardware specs.

No. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9908-help-tuning-required-for-dell-inspiron-7548/page-3&do=findComment&comment=70944

Use the null (dummy) Ethernet kext. You can Google for it.

Nothing, you just have to repeat the touch + kextcache commands when you get that. But it seems you're missing the dummy ALC292 kext... It's available here in the bootpack and the ALC292 patch details are listed too. I'm using layout-id 1 on my E6440 (see post #7 of the thread). Audio kexts cannot be injected, they have to be cached if you want Clover on-the-fly patches to work Ok.

ALC3226 = ALC292. AppleHDA patching details are available off my E6440 guide if you want.

1st screen defect (at Apple logo) is perfectly normal until you apply the IOGraphicsFamily patch. For the 2nd screen defect, with a resolution > 1600x900, you need to set DualLink to 1 in your Clover config. NB: Are you sure you have HD4000 graphics on an E5540? I'd have thought that was a Haswell platform with HD4200/4400/4600 graphics...

E6220 only supports legacy mode as far as I know. Which method are you using: Clover-based method or Enoch-based method?

You should be able to identify the exact Broadcom card through DPCIManager app (Google for it) or by looking directly at the card once you remove the bottom plate. Then look up here and/or in the wireless forum sub-section. For audio, look up the Info page in your BIOS settings. Probably IDT 92HD93, in which case, it'll be same as E6x30 and you can re-use the same IDT dummy kext + AppleHDA patches. Details available here with dummy kext in the bootpack.
