My long post and problems with El-Capitan and Windows 10 and Clover - Please advise

[james341]

Since I've installed the Windows 10 this morning I'm struggling to find solution to my multi-boot problem.

this is my story :
So today I went to the store and got myself a new 240Gb SSD to install Windows 10.

Before I start to describe my problem I will give you my set-up:

1. I have 1X SSD with El-Capitan OS X with Clover boot.
2. I have 1X SSD that have Windows 10 In parallels mode (I've installed parallels on my El-Capitan SSD and installed the Windows 10 with Parallels in a different SSD)
3. I have 2 HDD that I use to be the main storage HDD because the SSD have small size (1 is for El-Capitan data and the other is Windows 10 parallels data)

My Hardware:
Gigabyte GTX-970 , Gigabyte GA-H87M-HD3 , i5 , 16 Gb Ram

So why I need multi-boot with another Windows 10 drive if I have Windows 10 with parallels you asked? It's all about playing games on my PC - you can't really enjoy this great Graphics card in parallels.

So after this long introduction , my problem is booting into Windows with clover , and a big clover mess menu , I can boot into El-Capitan , but not into Windows. 

This what I did to install :

1. Disconnect all my old HDD and SSD .
2. Connect my new 240 SSD.
3. Installed Windows 10 on it ( everything worked great)
4. Reconnect all my drives back
5. Going into bios and choosing my El-Capitan SSD as first boot to get into Clover.
6. Clover is loading and this is the big big menu I see and description what i get when i choose the icon:

• Boot Windows from Legacy HD1 - I see blinking line at the upper left corner of the screen
• Boot Windows from EFI - I see blinking line at the upper left corner of the screen
• Boot Windows from Legacy HD4 - I see blinking line at the upper left corner of the screen
• Boot Windows from Legacy HD5 - I see blinking line at the upper left corner of the screen
• Boot Recovery from Recovery HD - I see the Apple logo and the line and after 15 sec the system reboot.
• Boot Mac OS X from El-Capitan : El-Capitan is loading and everything is working well!
• Boot Recovery from Recovery HD - I see the Apple logo and the line and after 15 sec the system reboot.
• Boot Microsoft EFI boot menu from EFI - I see preparing for repair of Windows 10 and the repair menu

The problems I have and the solution I'm seeking here in this post :

1. Making the Windows 10 boot from the clover menu - what can I do to fix this ?
2. Delete all the icons in Clover and only keep 2 icons , one for El-Capitan and one for Windows 10

I really hope that I've explained everything and that someone can help me.


Thanks

Hello,

 

You have to customize your Clover menu entries through Clover Configurator.

 

1st use the command "diskutil list" from terminal to have a list of all volumes and their mounting points.

 

Then you can uncheck the options "Scan" and "Legacy" in the "Boot" section of clover configurator.

 

In the the "Custome Entries" section create a customized entry for your Win10 partition of your new SSD and name it as "Windows 10" for example.

 

If you did it right you should see only 2 icons in the booting screen

 

Good luck
