1. I have clover installed to the EFI partition at \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi . I installed it via MAC OS 10.8.0. I used this guide to do so: http://cloverboot.weebly.com/install-clover-to-usbhdd.html

2. I've gone into the laptop BIOS and added the following to the boot menu:

Clover
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x2)/Sata/(0x0,0x0)/HD(1,GPT,--it goes off screen at this point
\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERx64.efi

3. This makes clover available in the boot menu, but it doesn't work. If I make it the primary boot option, I get "no bootable devices" error. If I press F12 and then select Clover manually, the laptop goes black for a second and the menu refreshes.

The EXACT same behavior is observed for Windows Boot Manager as well.

Windows Boot Manager
HD(1, GPT, 360EBFE3-etc)
\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

I checked and that file is definitely present in the EFI partition on my hard drive as well.

Tools I have available to me: I have a MAC 10.8.0 partition I can boot via USB/Chameleon. I'm trying to get Clover installed and make that my primary method of booting.

What am I doing wrong?

Copy CLOVERX64.efi to \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi.

Thanks for the help. I copied \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi to \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi with no change. I also edited the BIOS and added a UEFI menu entry specifically to call \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi in case it wasn't being called somehow. That didn't work either.

Same details. I either get "no bootable devices" error, or if I select the UEFI boot options manually I get a black screen for 1 second following by a refresh of the menu.

(Also, per my other forum thread you indicated my drive may be a GPT/MBR hybrid, so I formatted it without using FAT32 as you indicated. I then installed 10.8.0 and Clover again, same steps, and tried copying CLOVERx64.efi again. Still no success. Same symptoms.)

Edit: Also, I want to note that because the drive was formatted the GPT GUID changed so I recreated these UEFI boot entries. No change in symptoms.

Will your BIOS boot Windows UEFI?

Maybe you need a BIOS update?

I did all BIOS updates about 6 months ago. I forget how it is labeled, but my BIOS is like A017 but started at A02 from the factory. It is reasonably up to date if not completely up-to-date.

Re: Will your BIOS boot Windows UEFI?
- I can definitely boot UEFI Win7 DVD
- If I install UEFI Win7 first, PC boots great until I try and add a mac partition. The moment I do, Windows7 boot breaks. (i.e. http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-boo...oken-efi-boot-after-adding-mac-partition.html )
- If I install Mac 10.8.0 first, using Disk Utility via USB to format the drive as GPT, and making only HFS+J partitions, you get this thread. Windows 7 installs but then says "No bootable devices"

I will go ahead and install Windows over the second HFS+J partition to confirm. But it seems like any time Mac touches my hard drive it stops Windows from booting, or prevents it from booting once it gets installed.

(Also, I'm sorry that I'm not using Mavericks to do any of this. I would but the Mavericks USB stick crashes before it gets to the install menu. It needs mach_kernel treatment I suppose but I'm trying to do one thing at a time.)

Is it possible that because my 10.8.0 USB stick uses Chameleon to boot that it is somehow getting in my way? I didn't think it would because the Disk Utility explicitly says that it is going to GPT my drive. But I thought I'd ask.

Not currently. After installing Windows 7 again via UEFI DVD boot, formatting the second HFS+J partition to do so, Windows will not boot. It says "no bootable devices."

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Updated as requested with everything I currently have access too. I don't have my motherboard chipset yet and cannot yet boot windows to run CPU-Z. If you need this I will have to format the drive and install windows first so it will boot.

Do you know your CPU model?

Do you have only nvidia or both Intel+nvidia?

Got this as fast as I could. Turns out I had a CPU-Z doc saved in Evernote. Win.

CPU is M520. I believe I have NVIDIA solo. No Intel. I wasn't sure how to ID to motherboard model but I think it is the 0N5KHN. Here is a cut and paste:

Chipset
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Northbridge Intel Havendale/Clarkdale Host Bridge rev. 02
Southbridge Intel QM57 rev. 05
Graphic Interface PCI-Express

Monitoring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mainboard Model 0N5KHN (0x00000194 - 0x005189C0)
