![]() I install Clover, mount the EFI partition to change the config file. Each time, the EFI partition was created with no issue. I did install Clover on the same disk as OS X. I wanted to solve the iMessage issue, so I decided to switch to Clover (UEFI). I updated from Maverick to Yosemite with no big issue with Chimera/Chameleon. Is there any way i could cross-compare the two EFI's? Mounting the Windows EFI with Clover Configurator it responds with "Unexpected disk identifier: disk1s2", but it does mount it successfully.Hi, I have a Hackintosh with a Z77-DS3H Gigabyte motherboard. ![]() This all started as a reason for me to give a proper guide for Clover on E6410, but i cant tell people to get a HDD Caddy. This case seems like Dell adapted to Microsoft, and Microsoft does not give a single crap about standards. I know one thing, the standard GPT means EFI at the beginning, and im pretty sure UEFI has to play along. I went so far, that i started a Windows UEFI installation at my OS X drive, just so i can have those partitions, and for odd reasons, Disk Utility does not like them at all, it wont even delete them.Īnd on the brink of giving up, i had this idea to copy Clover on the already existing Windows EFI partition, AND IT WORKS, i had to add it manually in the BIOS, but it actually works. Now notice the EFI on DISK1, it's the 2nd partition, right after what microsoft calls MRP (Microsoft Recovery Partition), and after EFI you have the so called MSR (Microsoft Reserved Partition) partition. DISK0 is obviously OS X with a proper GPT layout and the EFI is the first partition, even if you totally wipe a GPT-ed drive, the EFI will always be there (there are ways to delete it however). Notice the different locations for both EFI partitions. Look for yourself: /dev/disk0Ģ: Microsoft Basic Data CLO 314.6 MB disk0s2Ĥ: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s4ġ: DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC 314.6 MB disk1s1Ĥ: Microsoft Basic Data Windows10 107.9 GB disk1s4ĥ: Microsoft Basic Data WinData 211.6 GB disk1s5 I tell you what, a very weird partitioning layout. I asked myself a single question, WTF does Windows have that Clover/OS X doesnt. To my surprise, UEFI did not detect it, and this pissed me off. Apart from the original EFI partition, i created a 300MB FAT32 partition named CLO and a 100GB partition for Yosemite, and went for the installation. Now before i installed OS X on the Hard Drive, i've done the same USB procedures on the hard drive, but with GPT (mind you, the USB boots with GPT as well, but you totally have to ignore the original EFI). It booted and it installed 10.10.3 all fine. He made a package filtered for UEFI only, but pretty much contained the same what the ISO's have. ![]() Then i stumbled on a guide in Insanelymac where a guy mimicked the partition layout of GPT in to an MBR, meaning he did a MBR USB with two partitions, one for clover and one for OS X. Initially, i wiped a USB into a GPT one and found out no matter what i do, the EFI partition will not play any role for our Dell BIOS. That's when i started the research for OS X UEFI as well and stumbled on the Clover ISO's. I made a UEFI/GPT USB through Rufus, installed it and now i'm a happy windows camper. There is some progress here and i may need the pro's help in figuring things out.Ī few months a go, i ordered a Hard Drive Caddy since i desperately need a machine that can run Microsoft Visio.
