Failed to create 10.13.6 Recovery partition #12

Closed flavoredframes closed 3 years ago

Hi, I am getting the following error:

-- macOS installer is /Volumes/Data_Raid_0/Install macOS High Sierra.app -- Installer application for macOS 10.13.6 detected. Proceeding.... Could not interpret boot device as either network or disk Can't interpet EFI boot device -- Target disk is . -- Target filesystem is . -- Downloading SecUpd2020-004HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg into /private/tmp ######################################################################## 100.0% -- Failed to create 10.13.6 Recovery partition on . -- does not have an APFS or HFS+ filesystem.

Any idea how I can fix this would be appreciated.

Thanks

What is your boot drive? It seems that diskutil can't figure it out:

After trying to solve the problem for about 3 hours and countless google attempts, I came across the solution to the problem shortly after this post. It is incredibly simple. You just have to select the boot drive under system preferences again and save it. I hope this helps those with the same problem.
