Hey guys,

 

How do you boot to Clover menu without USB? Like when I plug in USB, I can get to both Windows and Mac but once I remove the USB, I go straight to Mac.

 

PS: I have a UEFI Mobo.

 

Also, when I boot into Mac, it is very laggy compared to Windows. Like I think it's because Mac is using the USB to relay information? I' sure I have Mac installed on my Hard Drive so I don't know why its laggy..

Basically, what I did was I had a USB which had Clover Bootloader and Mac Installer on it. I booted to the USB in UEFI mode and then I installed Mac to a partition on my Hard Drive. 

 

Also, Mac is verrrry laggy!!!

 

Now, I have to use the USB to boot into the Clover menu. How do I boot into the Clover Menu without USB automatically?

 

Before you answer that, can you tell me why Mac is verry laggy? Because if it stays like that after I fix this, theres no point me having Mac.

You did not answer my question: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304591-how-to-boot-from-clover-without-usb/?p=2112257

 

Post your hardware configuration, and what is the version of your SOs?

 

Look here for install Clover in your HDD: Install Clover bootloader – speedstep and installing kexts (UEFI)

 

Commands for your erase your EFI partition

diskutil list
sudo newfs_msdos -v EFI -F 32 /dev/disk0s1

or

sudo newfs_msdos -v EFI -F 32 /dev/rdisk0s1

Mount

mkdir /Volumes/EFI
sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI

Unmount

sudo umount -f /Volumes/EFI

PS: Before you install Clover, unmount the EFI partition (already formatted of course).

Look, the problem I have is that Clover wont boot without a USB.

 

Lemme give you some details:

 

I have 1 hard drive: Windows 8 in one partition and Mac in another. When I boot from hard drive, it goes straight to Windows 8.

 

 

Now, I have another problem: When I load Mac - using the Clover Bootloader on the USB - it is very laggy. Now if I am going to boot without a USB, will Mac be laggy?

Without boot usb , you want know how works mac ??? 

Try use chameleon and install chameleon on usb ! Try ! 

 

I tried from usb - normal work , or without usb - from hdd , also normal work mac . 

If is very laggy - maybe problem your hard disk , because maybe need chkdsk in windows8 ! Or maybe slow hard disk .

Look, the problem we have is that we want to help you but you are not providing the information we need in order to help you.

 

You probably have only installed the bootloader on your usb device and not on your (mac) hard drive, correct?

As you are using UEFI Boot Mode. Add a manual boot path for CLOVER in BIOS and set it as your Primary Boot File. Currently your windows boot entry will be in the primary boot position, that will be the reason you are always booting to windows whenever you are trying to boot without USB.
