Advice with dual-booting Windows 8 via Clover - possible with this motherboard?

Hi,

I have Yosemite running well with Clover bootloader. Clover is installed in an EFI partition.

I see my Windows OS at the Clover start screen, but none of the Windows options boot into the Windows 8 OS. I get a black screen or a logo which just sits there.

Windows 8 boots fine if I change the device boot order in bios.

 

Looking at other posts, I'm guessing that this is because Windows is not installed in UEFI mode.

I don't know enough about this to know if it is fixable in my case. The motherboard is quite old - see my sig.

 

How should I go about enabling Windows booting with Clover?

 

Here's the output from diskutil list:

 

/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk0
   1:               Windows_NTFS Untitled                500.1 GB   disk0s1
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *512.1 GB   disk1
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk1s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS MacOS                   511.3 GB   disk1s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk1s3
/dev/disk2
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk2
   1:               Windows_NTFS Media                   1.0 TB     disk2s1
/dev/disk3
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk3
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk3s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS MacBackup               499.8 GB   disk3s2
 

 

disk0 is Windows 8, disk1 is Yosemite.

 

I have also attached my Clover config.plist

 

Many thanks for advice.
