[Guide] Acer aspire 5755G/5750G El Capitan UEFI Clover

[RehabMan]

Anyone able to boot Clover on a HDD while having Windows installed on the same drive?

OS X is not well behaved with disks partitioned by other than OS X Disk Utility, but there are things you can check/do.

After disabling the VBIOS Patch everything was working fine for me. You should try the same.

how to disable it ?

You have to open the config.plist and then search for VBIOS

M1D1Man,

I got the native laptop screen to load! I just copied your config clover file and changed the theme. Works perfectly. Slowly coming along. Thanks a million!

To the earlier poster'
I installed Windows first and only after I formatted the partitions with a bootable Linux distro.

If you take a look at the first post you can see some zip archives. Inside one zip you can see the config.plist file. Copy and paste it to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER. After opening the file you have to change the VBIOS entry to NO.

Boot verbose, show photo (use space bar from Clover to get verbose boot option).

Post EFI/Clover as ZIP (remote 'themes').

(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"
