fusion71au Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Did you install Windows 7 in legacy mode on an MBR partitioned hard drive or in UEFi mode on GPT/GUID disk? I find Clover works much better in a dual boot situation with UEFI Windows on a GPT/GUID hard drive - see @tluck's post here and @pokenguyen's AIO guides.

anarchy99 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Looking at the one log it looks like it is set up BIOS not EFI The hard drive is GPT I set up in OSX but it makes a hybrid MBR partition because the partition that I eventually put windows on was originally formatted fat32 i did that because that's what every guide that I've read recommends When I set the laptop to EFI only and I followed a guide for making and a EFI windows installer when I go to install windows it wants me to load a driver I have tried all the Sata controller drivers and it's not working I've tried AHCI mode and compatibility mode same thing and I've tried to Sata drivers from the Lenovo website but I don't find any results so won't let me continue but funny enough hitting the browse button to select a driver I see the hard drive which I want to install windows on but I've tried multiple windows install disks so I'm not sure why it hates me so much LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
