How do you install Windows 8? If you install it normally, you have to convert your hard drive from Hybrid GPT/MBR to Pure GPT, and then reinstall Windows 8 using EFI installer in installation disk.
Where you already have Win8 installed it will be legacy like the others said. You may have to reformat your whole HDD to have a pure GPT and not a hybrid MBR.
I used this tool to create a Windows UEFI install on a usb, then Windows is installed via UEFI.
This is getting confusing:
- OP asks how to install Windows in UEFI mode
- I respond to say "you'd have to use Clover bootloader -- are you sure you want to do that?"
- Someone else responds asking me "how I install Windows 8 [I presume w/o UEFI]" as if it is not possible to install Win8 non-UEFI
- You respond explaining "how to create a Windows UEFI USB" which puts one back into Clover as the only possible boot loader
Nice full circle there...
Original question was "Dual Booting W8 and OS X with UEFI?".
I answered this and explained my procedure of how I installed Windows making sure it was an UEFI install.
You can install Windows UEFI without Clover, and use the Windows boot manager. Although you are right, he will not be able to boot OS X, as Chameleon does not support Windows UEFI, hence Clover will be the only option.
There was no post with the question. It was in the title...Next time quote the post you're replying to, so we know who you're talking to.
I was just elaborating.Yes, as I stated in post #2.
