Hello, i wanted to try W10 and installed it (Mac and Windows are on the same drive)

 

After the installation Clover disappeared and i can't get it to work again

 

If i do remember correctly first time i had to create a new partition to make it work

Boot your OS X with a USB, and follow this: Dualboot Windows and OS X using Clover UEFI

 

The problem is there's not Microsoft folder in both /EFI folders

 

This is my partition list

/dev/disk0   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *120.0 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh               53.2 GB    disk0s2
   3:       Microsoft Basic Data Riservato per il sis... 367.0 MB   disk0s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         65.9 GB    disk0s4
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.5 TB     disk1
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk1s1
   2:       Microsoft Basic Data Volume                  1.5 TB     disk1s2
/dev/disk2
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *4.1 GB     disk2
   1:             Windows_FAT_32 CLOVER                  209.7 MB   disk2s1
   2:                 DOS_FAT_16

Everything depends how you use your Hackintosh.

If you use with Clover UEFI, you need install Windows in UEFI too.

 

The same idea apply for Clover in Legacy = Windows in Legacy

Windows partition is gone, but now i have Chimera booting instead of Clover

 

How do i remove it?

Hmmm.

 

Chimera is a copy of Chameleon, so, maybe the files are in your HDD root.

Remove the "boot" file and "Extra" folder.

 

Ok, doing that i was able to remove Chimera and get Clover working

 

The problem is i can't install Windows anymore, Clover always boots before the USB (even if in the BIOS USB is first) and trying to boot the USB trough Clover does not work

Very, very strange...

 

Try use the old method for install Windows...burn a DVD  :D

 

I was able to start the Windows installation, but it says i can't install it because the partition is GPT 

 

UPDATE: Following this guide fixed the GPT issue

Now i've reinstalled Windows 10, and found these two conversation to make it work with Clover
