I just wanted to say thank you to RehabMan for helping me out years ago with my laptop. It really meant a lot to me that you took the time and it's been on my todo list to come back to say thank you. And also thank you to the tonymacx86 community. I was able to release an app to the Apple store...

As requested.

I was using Clover Configurator and somehow Clover's plist got corrupted or massively changed and suddenly it started working. I no longer get stuck on a black screen when selecting Mac. New issue: Mac starts to load, I see a white screen for 3-10 seconds, then I see rainbow screen tears for a...

I'm afraid I don't know what this means. I think it means to fiddle around with this: http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/Graphics All combinations I've tried haven't yielded anything yet. My instinct says this is somehow "disconnected" from executable components. The machine is...

Summarization for those trying to learn: GPT (a partitioning style or structure) has a hidden partition named EFI that is less than 200mb and exists at the top of the drive. I believe it is also referred to as the ESP. It can contain boot files that are contributed by various operating systems...

I bypassed Disk Utility and had success dual booting: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/142388-how-fix-broken-efi-boot-after-adding-mac-partition-2.html#post879212 I now have Clover booting from \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi . It boots Windows just fine. The problem is that when I boot my...

Apologies to anyone reading but I never learned how to fix a broken EFI boot after Disk Utility appears to have broken it. I did however figure out how to safely get a Mac partition on my drive without breaking Windows boot. Here's how: Boot UEFI: Windows 7 DVD and install Windows in UEFI mode...

Well I'm partly satisfied that the answer is almost conclusive at least. Thank you kindly for all your time and effort. I will continue to chip away at this and I will come back and report if I get it working.

Yes! I can definitely boot Windows 7 UEFI and then install Ubuntu UEFI and boot them side by side. I then use my MAC 10.8.0 USB to add an HFS+J partition and then boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu both break ("no bootable devices"). Here you go: Justins-iMac:~ justinreinhart$ diskutil list...

I checked and I have no indication I have any Intel graphics. Only NVIDIA. I suppose that is always a possibility. When I install UEFI Windows 7 first to a GPT disk it works though, up until I add an HFS+J partition. This suggests I could get it working. I will be happy to try this. But...

(Don't miss my post on previous page. ^_^ ) I formatted the drive to GPT using Ubuntu Live USB once and then installed UEFI Windows 7 DVD to the drive and it worked. This provides further backing that the drive is GPT, and that Windows 7 works if it is installed first. I checked the DVD--it...

I am absolutely certain that both have been done this way this entire time. BIOS set to UEFI mode (not legacy) and I've been selecting UEFI: Windows 7 DVD entire time. No deviation at all on this.

Got this as fast as I could. Turns out I had a CPU-Z doc saved in Evernote. Win. CPU is M520. I believe I have NVIDIA solo. No Intel. I wasn't sure how to ID to motherboard model but I think it is the 0N5KHN. Here is a cut and paste: Chipset...

Updated as requested with everything I currently have access too. I don't have my motherboard chipset yet and cannot yet boot windows to run CPU-Z. If you need this I will have to format the drive and install windows first so it will boot.

I installed Windows 7 via UEFI DVD boot into the second HFS+J partition that was then formatted into NTFS. I get "no bootable devices" trying to load the Windows Boot Manager. So here's what I think it is going on: I think Disk Utility is somehow making an MBR/GPT hybrid no matter what I do. (I...
