How to install macOS on an external hard drive

[@bambom135]

I was just about to search something like this!. This is amazing and you only posted 8 minutes ago! I love you!

[@zakidzz]

finally exactly what i want been waiting for this for yeaars... next please make same as this but in vhd and the boot would be from ventoy

[@Grendal62]

for anyone having issues. he has a second video, where he installs directly on a PC/laptop. on there he has links to different EFI files(for a few more chip types) and a different recovery file. using those files but following these steps (as well as setting the EFI to 2000 and putting the recovery files on the EFI) i got it working 100%. also, my PC seemed to have UEFI secure boot on which you need to disable in BIOS. my next thought is, can this be done on an SD card? i don't see why not, if i copied it using DD in linux...we will see!

Hi Friend, I have a question, I have reached the part of formatting the disk from the MacOS recovery but the partition to install MacOS does not appear, do you know how I can solve it?

[@Grendal62]

@@josingaqare you formatting it as APFS(apple file system?) also what is the size of the partition or drive you are formatting. it needs to be larger than 30gb i think. format(by erasing and formatting as apfs) then go back to install option and it should show up

Very Impressive work you are doing.

[@aaronlee7991]

Working for me but some minor change for those who can’t manage to see the recovery option during boot. Got to start from beginning. Recreate the partitions. Only need 2 partitions, EFI (FAT) 10000MB and MACOS (exFAT) balanceMB. Dump 2 files EFI and recovery into EFI drive. That’s it! Boot up into that ext hard disk and voila!

Not working. recovery option APPEARS but when you click on it, it returns to the menu.

Excellent, many thanks. Can we use an external SSD instead of a mechanical external hard drive?

You can use any kind of drive you want. Even (although not recommended) a USB stick, as long it has the necessary space.

For fun its good but not for daily routine, Main reason is graphic only 7 mb

That’s not a hard drive problem, that is efi config problem, you have to patch gpu urself. Much faster than running it off of my old HDD, external ssd better

The solution is very simple friends, no need of LAN for WiFi users. Just find the WiFi kext folder of your system and edit the 'info.plist' file inside the kext. folder. In my case this (itlwm.kext) was needed for my laptop's Wireless-AC 9462. After editing the 'info.plist' enter the ssid_name and password of your WiFi in the SSID and Password section in the WiFi section and save the file.

Intel xe graphics cannot be used in macOS, but raptor lake yes,so if you can add an AMD graphics to your laptop,you can install macOS. The best way to do this is use a thunderbolt dock 😂.
