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...
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...
Not currently. After installing Windows 7 again via UEFI DVD boot, formatting the second HFS+J partition to do so, Windows will not boot. It says "no bootable devices."
I did all BIOS updates about 6 months ago. I forget how it is labeled, but my BIOS is like A017 but started at A02 from the factory. It is reasonably up to date if not completely up-to-date.
Re: Will your BIOS boot Windows UEFI?
- I can definitely boot UEFI Win7 DVD
- If I install UEFI Win7...
Per your advice I have formatted the drive with multiple HFS+J (and no FAT) partitions to be 100% certain. I have not had a chance to install Windows again. (I'm trying to solve the clover issue in this thread...
Thanks for the help. I copied \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi to \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi with no change. I also edited the BIOS and added a UEFI menu entry specifically to call \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi in case it wasn't being called somehow. That didn't work either.
Same details. I either get "no...
1. I have clover installed to the EFI partition at \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi . I installed it via MAC OS 10.8.0. I used this guide to do so: http://cloverboot.weebly.com/install-clover-to-usbhdd.html
2. I've gone into the laptop BIOS and added the following to the boot menu:
Clover...
