bestkid Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 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..

bestkid Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks, but I've already looked at that and I don't really get it. Mind explaining it to me? Like where do I find this : /EFI/Microsoft/Boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If you install Clover in UEFI mode, probably you formatted your EFI partition right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestkid Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestkid Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 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?

VirusX Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jithin Chandran Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Do you have installed any bootloader to your HDD?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 And please make up your mind. once I remove the USB, I go straight to Mac. When I boot from hard drive, it goes straight to Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jithin Chandran Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 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.
