Installing on MBR Partitioned Drive Question - Yosemite, Clover

I've booted into Install OS X Yosemite using Legacy Clover(old BIOS, only choice), and after I select 'Install OS X' and then select my partition I get a message that says that the installer cannot install to a non GUID partitioned volume.

This is because I have an MBR partition as I also run Windows 7,

 

 

Now everyone says to use an MBR patch like this one http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/300-yosemite-mbr-patch-1010-dp7/

 

That say explicitly to take their two files, 'OSInstall.mpkg' and 'OSInstaller.frameworks' and replace them with the files here: 

OSInstall.mpkg replace to

/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg

OSInstaller replace to
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/OSInstaller.framework/Versions/A/OSInstaller

 

When I was using Chameleon, that^ would work great. But my Clover boot loader doesn't even have the same folder structure. It does not have 'OSInstaller' file. It does have 'OSInstall.mpkg' in 'Install OS X Yosemite' > Show Package Contents, and I tried replacing that file with a 'patched' one, but that's only half the files so of course it didn't work. It said that the installer was corrupted and could not install OS X, so I just switched it back and now I'm back to original error message.

 

I have searched the drive a million times, even enabling hidden files and folders and still cannot find the OSInstall.frameworks, and from what I can tell, this is probably the only one you actually need.

Somebody has had to have tried this before. Do you HAVE to partition to GUID to use Clover? Am I missing something?

Clover or Chameleon have nothing to do with  the patch MBR installation  :)

You need to find  OSInstall.frameworks, and double clic on and you see  / versions / A / OSInstaller

 

PS :You need the right version of the patch for your Yosemite version
