Select OS X Partition as Mac OS Extended Journaled, Windows partition as MS-DOS(FAT) and Ubuntu partition as ext4. Make 3 partitions for OS X (call it Yosemite), Windows (call it WIN81) and Ubuntu. This drive needs to be more than 16GB so that it can have all three installation files.Įrase the USB drive, using Disk Utility. We have will format this to GPT, create 2 partitions, one for OS X and another for Windows installation files.

We will prepare a single USB drive which can be used to install Yosemite, Windows (and even Ubuntu if you fancy!). Make sure everything working and once confirmed, proceed next to installation of Yosemite.

That’s all and your Clover test drive is ready! Now boot using this USB and boot into your Hackintosh. Put FakeSMC.kext and other kexts required in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10.Delete VBoxHfs-64.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers64 & EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI.Put HFSPlus.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers64 & EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI.Put DSDT.aml in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched.You will need ist, DSDT.aml which are specific to your system. Perform installation:Ĭlover is installed to the drive. Run Clover and change install location to this drive, CLOVER and customize by selecting Bootloader > Install boot0ss in MBR, CloverEFI > CloverEFI 64-bits SATA and Drivers64UEFI > EmuVariableUefi-64. It can have Clover installed for test USB drive. Click Options at the bottom and select Master Boot Record. Go to Partition tab, select 1 Partition in Partition Layout, Give name as CLOVER, format as MS-DOS(FAT). Open disk utility, select this drive, under Erase tab choose Format as MS-DOS(FAT) and give name CLOVER(or whatever you want) and hit Erase: Idea is to install Clover on a different HDD(or a test HDD) and without harming current installation. For this, you do NOT need to install Clover on your current HDD, it may mess up your current installation. First, it saves all the trouble of post-installation and second, you will be proceeding to install Yosemite once you have confirmed everything is working properly (and no dirty surprises). Feel free to skip it if it doesn’t apply to you.īefore installing Yosemite/Clover, it’s better to test Clover on currently installed Hackintosh. This is an optional part and only applies to people who already have a hackintosh running. Latest Clover, Clover Configurator, Kext Wizard, Rufus, HFSPlus.efi and FakeSMC.kext (and other kexts based on your machine).Install OS X Yosemite.app downloaded and present in Applications.A running OS X machine in real Mac or Hackintosh or as virtual OS.Two pendrives of 8GB (or more), one for OS X and another for Windows installation media.A pendrive of 200MB (or more) for test Clover config (optional).In fact, this tutorial is actually combination of several of his posts (check Sources section).

Clover bootloader uefi install drivers#

In addition, both the architecture and the drivers are CPU-independent, which opens the door to a wider variety of processors (including those using the ARM architecture, for example).Ī big thanks to fusion71au, he guided me and helped me to install UEFI Windows on my laptop and made it possible. Among these are cryptography, network authentication, support for extensions stored on non-volatile media, an integrated boot manager, and even a shell environment for running other EFI applications such as diagnostic utilities or flash updates. UEFI has room for more useful and usable features than could ever be crammed into the BIOS.

UEFI enables better use of bigger hard drives.

GPT disk provides greater reliability due to replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table.

You can have upto 128 partitions (woot!) in GPT (as opposed ONLY 4 primary partitions in MBR/Hybrid MBR partition scheme).

GPT can support more than 2TB space (MBR cannot).

You may face all sorts of weird boot/BCD errors

Depending on BIOS, sometimes Clover doesn’t play well in Non-UEFI.

You can have multiple Recovery Partitions in GPT.

Isn’t that amazing? This tutorial covers installation of both Yosemite and Windows 8. You have a machine with Legacy BIOS and at the end of tutorial, you would have Yosemite OS X and Windows 8.1, in UEFI mode, on a GPT partition with Clover as Bootloader.
