- # Hiding Extra Partitions In Clover #
- ### ###
- This goes over a couple of easy ways to hide extra, cluttery partitions in Clover.
- * In Clover Configurator, under the Gui menu on the left, look in the Scan section. Make sure you have "Custom" selected, and untick the checkboxes "Legacy" and "Kernel".
- * That should take care of the clutter of Windows drives and some of the extra EFI nonsense, now let's get to our Recovery partitions for our Mac drives.

- I'll leave the older stuff in there in case it helps, but I found a super easy way to hide the recovery partitions in Clover.
- 1. Get the UUID for the recovery partition. You can do this with:
- - diskutil info /Path/To/Drive/
- - You're looking for the "Disk / Partition UUID"
- - My "Recovery UUID" script
- - In the Clover boot menu, select your drive and press space
- 2. The next part has 2 options, both crazy easy.
- A. In Clover Configurator -> Gui -> Hide Volume, hit the plus sign "+"
- and just paste in the UUID for the partition you want to hide in there
- - Make sure you save it afterward
- B. You can open your config.plist -> GUI -> Hide, and add a new <string>
- value with the UUID for the partitions you want to hide. Looks like:
- <key>GUI</key>
- <dict>
- <key>Hide</key>
- <array>
- <string>YourUUIDHere</string>
- <string>SecondUUIDHere</string>
- <string>etcUntilYourFinished</string>
- </array>
- - There may already be some values in the Hide array, but you can just
- add yours before or after the existing values.
- - Remember to save this too.

- - In Clover Configurator again, go to Boot.log on the left, and hit "Generate log", and then "Save log to Desktop".
- - Open the new bootlog.log.txt, and also open a terminal window.
- - You can get the UUID of your partitions with diskutil by typing "diskutil info diskXsX" where the Xs represent the disk and partition number you want to hide.
- - You can also get this info by going into the Clover bootloader screen, highlighting the volume you want to hide, and pressing the spacebar to get extra info.
- - Head back to your bootlog.log.txt and do a search for like the last 5 characters in the UUID of the volume you want to hide.
- - You should see something like: HD(3,GPT,E38BACB0-EC9E-4846-A420-3CC0D1260D22,0x3A2500E8,0x135F20)
- - We just need the E38BACB0-EC9E-4846-A420-3CC0D1260D22
- - I have a Recovery UUID script that finds the Apple_Boot partion
- of a disk and outputs the UUID, should be in the same folder as
- this document.
- - That is the info we need to copy. It is the volume's location id that Clover uses
- - Back to Clover Configurator -> Gui -> Custom Entries, hit the + sign
- - Double-click on the resulting Custom Entry and do the following:
- - Under Title/Full Title, pick a name (doesn't matter since we're hiding
- it anyway, but I chose "Recovery Partition"
- - Set the "Hidden" popup menu to "Always"
- - Paste your volume's UUID in the "Volume" text field
- * All done!
