Clover boots into maintenance menu after starting Windows

Recommended Posts

Clover installed on a USB Drive for dual boot proposes (10.9.1 & Win7 SP1) always boots into the maintenance menu after I started Win7 (no problem so far with 10.9). The screens looks like this: http://www.rodsbooks.com/bios2uefi/figure06.png

I can't continue the boot process at this screen. 

I have to restart (restart buttom or ctrl + alt + del) and then (on the second boot attempt) I can reach the usual clover boot selection. This happens every time I start into Win7; as I said: Booting/restarting OSX does not show this issue. So maybe it is a EFI problem in Windows?

 

My system is: Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI, i5 Haswell, Geforce GTX 760

HDD1: OSX 10.9 installed on a GUID HDD and patched (for audio, WIFI, ...)

HDD2: Win7 64Bit, installed with normal DVD on a MBR/NTFS HDD

 

BIOS is set to start the USB drive with clover and there I can choose which system to boot.

Try using an different USB Stick...

 

This is DUET, Clover have his base on it... I had this issue once when I was using an older USB Stick...

 

BTW, you still being able to load Clover through the "Boot Manager" or "Boot Maintenance Manager"

(I don't remember exactly now) if your USB Stick are FAT32 formatted... 

 

PS: Why you are Legacy Booting if you have an UEFI capable MOBO???

I took several USB-Sticks, but that didn't solve my issue.

 

Well I originally took Windows HDD from my old computer and didn't want to reinstall everything. Is that the problem?

I tryed to boot Clover in UEFI mode, but then it is only booting OSX and didn't want to start Windows as it is legacy....

Hmm... You have only USB3.0 ports or 2.0 also???

 

Do you have XhciDxe-64.efi at your your drivers64 folder???

 

You can try also and Manual Installation of the boot sector files... > http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Installation#Manual-installation

No, this isn't the cause of your issue, but Clover is intended to make EFI boot

even being capable Legacy boot...

 

There are some settings that may help for Legacy boot > http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/Boot#Legacy

 

But keep in mind that UEFI boot is extremely faster, specially for newer MOBOs like yours...
