PsychoKoopa Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I successfully installed Yosemite Zone on my PC which will later be dual booted with Windows 10. I didn't use "MB" as it messed with my dual monitors (one is DVI one HDMI, only output through HDMI. It works fine with the nv_disable=1 from the Niresh setup though). I installed my audio and ethernet kexts and everything is up and running...except for one thing. I can't boot to this HDD without using the install USB. I've installed Clover, Chimera, and Chameleon all multiple times with standalone installers and I just can't get anything to work. I just get an error when booting without the usb that says something like ERROR: No usable boot device detected or something like that. Any ideas? Specs: i7 3770 Acer Aspire MC605 OEM motherboard EVGA GTX 760 SC 2GB8GB DDR3 RAM 500GB HDD (P.S. I'd prefer if you didn't suggest some sort of vanilla install. I would if I could but I haven't previously purchased Yosemite and can't obtain the Installer app.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nawcom Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 You'll have to be specific about the error so I can tell if it's a bootloader error or a BIOS error, though it's sounding like a BIOS error to me. Your motherboard can understand GUID partition tables on hard drives just fine so that has nothing to do with it. edit: MC605 uses UEFI firmware so make sure you're booting the specific hard drive in legacy CSM mode for Chameleon/Chimera and Clover if you installed for legacy mode, or UEFI mode for Clover if you installed it in UEFI mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKoopa Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Alright well thanks for the quick responses. I'm gonna do a fresh install today and try these suggestions and get back to you with pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKoopa Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Alright. I got everything working. I enabled legacy boot to boot into the install USB. Then I installed, picking Clover UEFI as the boot loader option. Went through the installation and rebooted into BIOS. Re-enabled UEFI and everything worked as it should! Thanks again for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
