EFI, Clover...multiboot issues

[CL Corwin Legendre]

So, I have a UEFI motherboard, Windows 8.1, Ubuntu and Mac OS X 10.10 installed. Using Clover as the bootloader

 

Clover shows 

-Boot from Recovery HD (Mac)

-Boot from Mac

-Boot from Legacy HD1 (Windows icon)

-Boot from Legacy HD3 (Windows icon)

 

 

The only one that boots is the Mac, of course...what's to know and what's the procedures for getting these all configured to boot properly. They are all on one harddrive at the moment, worst case is I could reinstall to a separate hard drive internally although my other drive is for storage while doing all this, I could move it to an external....and all that nonsense.

 

But, if I don't have to, I'd rather not reinstall everything....but if I do, let me know the best solution to have all three so I can be up and functional.

 

Thanks!

Post a boot.log (on a terminal: bdmesg > Desktop/bootlog.txt) or preboot.log (press F2 at the Clover GUI and check /EFI/CLOVER/misc) please.

You probably should try the different legacy boot methods: http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/Boot#Legacy

Also, install ntfs.efi (google it and you will find a download) which will show your windows partition properly in the boot menu instead of "legacy hd."

This doesn't work on all PCs, some just refuse to boot legacy drives from Clover (it didn't for me on my Z68 build). So if that doesn't work, I would suggest either reinstalling Windows in UEFI mode or converting it from MBR to GPT, which can be done using this method: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/convert-mbr-to-gpt-disk

 

I didn't want to reinstall Windows, so I used that method to convert my Windows driver to GPT and boot it in UEFI mode. WARNING: If you're going to go that route, make sure you clone your Windows drive first! I would also suggest disconnecting any other drives that have important data.

 

Hope that helps.
