thesuffering Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 So when i first started this i tried installing via [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], that failed, then tried disk maker x (this was all from using vmware install) with an el capitan installer....failed, but [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] put clover to boot as soon as the computer started. Its completely text based. Only option is UEFI Shell 64, about, restart, exit. I finally used yosemite zone and it installed and worked, but installed chameleon. So when my computer would start up, it would load text based clover, if i selected exit it would then load chameleon which then i could boot to whenever i wanted to. I tried to install clover to replace chameleon as i needed Clover F4 to get my DSDT. It installed, but now i have two instances of clover with absolutely no selections to boot to windows or osx. Is there any way to fix this short of praying i can get to windows by turning off efi boot and creating a new usb installer and start from scratch? Right now im on Ubuntu from a usb stick. Any OSs on hard drive are inaccessible. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312604-tried-to-install-clover-now-cant-boot-anything/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The problem is Tonymac tools: Why InsanelyMac does not support tonymacx86 VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ!

thesuffering Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Is yosemite zone allowed to discuss? So far its the only thing that has worked. I dont have a spare mac sitting around so most of what I have to do is pretty difficult in vmware. The guide for my laptop (dell n4110) hasnt worked once for me.

thesuffering Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Out of impatience I went ahead and reformatted with a windows 7 dvd, then upgraded to windows 10,then installed yosemite via yosemite zone. I selected clover uefi as my bootloader, but after install it says Missing Operating System. If i boot with the usb via chameleon i can sucessfully get into windows and osx what am i doing wrong?

Allan Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Look: Dualboot Windows and OS X using Clover UEFI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312604-tried-to-install-clover-now-cant-boot-anything/#findComment-2244241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesuffering Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 That post seems to be referencing that windows still boots and its just not clover booting. Im not getting anything, period. The only way i can make it boot is with the usb drive with chameleon plugged in. I just need to get clover loading period.

thesuffering Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 It appears even though during install I told it to do clover uefi, this isn't uefi. When i look at the partition scheme it says fdisk partition scheme. As much as i don't want to, since everything is completely fresh I'm not opposed to reformatting and redoing everything....again...but if i can avoid that id love to. I want to get iMessage working, so from what i understand clover is necessary. Please let me know what I should be doing to get this working right. Should I install OS X first and then Windows? Or Windows then OS X? Also, checking the partitions they are all MBR instead of any being GUID.

thesuffering Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 I reinstalled Clover making sure to choose UEFI boot only, It now boots at startup, and I can choose to load osx. This works but when OS X loads, its completely distorted. See the attached picture for how it looks. OS X boots perfectly if i use chameleon from the usb stick. What drivers/kexts do I need to get OS X booting right in Clover?
