Clover used to install, REFINd to dual boot?

Hey there everyone. I succesfully did my first Hackintosh with an
Asus X79 deluxe
i7-4930k
GTX 770 4GB

I did it using clover, and now would like to be able to dual boot to my Windows SSD which is on a seperate drive. I did not partition my OSX drive into 2 partitions.

My question is with Clover coming up once I boot to my OSX SSD, can I use REFINd in harmony with Clover to boot to my Windows SSD? Or does clover have an option somewhere for me to dual boot to seperate SSD's?
Thanks!

Ok, this requires you to have Clover installed and configured. We'll be spending most of our time in the GUI tab of Clover configurator. This will be for a UEFI setup.

Once under the GUI tab in Clover uncheck Legacy.

Open a terminal and type in the following command

Code:

diskutil list

This will list all the current drives connected, now for my Window's drive there are 4 partition's. Microsoft Basic Data being the main partition you'd think I would use that in Clover Configurator, well that's not the case. For my setup I need the EFI NO NAME partition which is disk0s2 (Make a note of the partition Identifier). In order to get it listed in the boot loader with a custom name I need the partition UUID.

Open another terminal, or use the same one and type

Code:

diskutil info disk0s2

This will list the information for the disk including volume UUID and Partition UUID

We want to copy the Disk / Partition UUID to use in Clover. Once you copy the Partition UUID head over to clover, load your config.plist and go under the GUI tab

Under custom entry's click the + button to add a custom entry

Under "Volume" insert the Partition UUID we got from diskutil info. Leave path blank and make sure "Title / FullTitle" is checked and give your partition a name. If this is left unchecked then the name you assign will not appear on the boot loader. Under "Type*" select Windows (You also have options for OS X, OS X Installer, OS X Recovery and Linux) for this case I selected Windows. Under "VolumeType" select internal. That should get you up and running.

As you can see I also did this for my OS X Install and OS X Recovery Partition by inserting there UUID's I got from the terminal command diskutil list disk*s* with there respected disk number.
