johnnybob Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is only My second successful OSX install since 2007- Im still very much a newb - I made a clover USB using BootDiskUtility v2.0.2014 rev.181b -- I installed OS X Maverick 10.9.0 - After I first installed I could not get it to boot using multiple bootflag methods - I Booted off the Clover USB - I quickly hit option #2 before it auto defaulted to #6 which I believe autogenerated an chameleon install and the OS X Mavericks account setup appeared so I finnished the install - Now OS X is only bootable through the Clover USB, when I push F12 for boot options, the drive is there but it wont boot from the HardDrive I have to select USB-HDD then boot into clover and Clover sees Mavericks - I double click on it and it boots right into Mavericks - My EFI Folder contains a "Boot" folder and a "CLOVER" folder - My "Extra" Folder has a com.chameleon.plist file and a smbios file with BIOS version tonysmack.com (i did not know about ol' t0ny's shenanigans until after i made this install) -I want to use Chameleon but clover usb is the only way it will boot into Mavericks - Clover installed chameleon from the usb when I pressed option #2 before it defaulted to #6 (also known as option #1) - I have windows 7 64 installed on a separate raid0 -I manually go into BIOS and change from AHCI to RAID when i want to boot into windows RAID0 partition - When I try to boot directly from the HDD that Mavericks is installed on I end up with --> (GPT.done) but it just hangs there --- Just being honest here, i think i could probably figure some of this out on my own but im kinda exausted reading through forums and feeling like Im wasting my efforts, so Im turning to the Professional's here at insanelymac.com for help Rampage Dev did tell me in the chatroom a couple weeks ago that Im using the wrong bootloader for My system, ( Nice dude, i really like that guy ) Im confused on what to do to straighten this mess out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295750-only-bootable-via-clover-usb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
