buttcrap Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I've booted into Install OS X Yosemite using Legacy Clover(old BIOS, only choice), and after I select 'Install OS X' and then select my partition I get a message that says that the installer cannot install to a non GUID partitioned volume.This is because I have an MBR partition as I also run Windows 7, Now everyone says to use an MBR patch like this one http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/300-yosemite-mbr-patch-1010-dp7/ That say explicitly to take their two files, 'OSInstall.mpkg' and 'OSInstaller.frameworks' and replace them with the files here: OSInstall.mpkg replace to /System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkgOSInstaller replace to/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/OSInstaller.framework/Versions/A/OSInstaller When I was using Chameleon, that^ would work great. But my Clover boot loader doesn't even have the same folder structure. It does not have 'OSInstaller' file. It does have 'OSInstall.mpkg' in 'Install OS X Yosemite' > Show Package Contents, and I tried replacing that file with a 'patched' one, but that's only half the files so of course it didn't work. It said that the installer was corrupted and could not install OS X, so I just switched it back and now I'm back to original error message. I have searched the drive a million times, even enabling hidden files and folders and still cannot find the OSInstall.frameworks, and from what I can tell, this is probably the only one you actually need.Somebody has had to have tried this before. Do you HAVE to partition to GUID to use Clover? Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1111 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Clover or Chameleon have nothing to do with the patch MBR installation You need to find OSInstall.frameworks, and double clic on and you see / versions / A / OSInstaller PS :You need the right version of the patch for your Yosemite version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
