hi, Ebios read errors are usually caused by the user....
?pressing keys on keyboard too quickly ie; the f5 key for install etc
?plugging in devices while switched off etc ie;moving usb devices from port to port etc
?just little simple things that can be overlooked
?dvd drive,mouse,keyboard,external disks etc.
?most of the Ebios errors happen during initial Osx install though.
just try rebooting with the minimum of things plugged in and see what happens..

cloning can [ have same effect ] transfering your probs in the clone over to the new partition...You should first investigate the problem to try and work it out , to give yourself a better understanding of whats happening and why..Most cases its fixable::
but if you just want to try it Yes by all means give it a shot..if these dont work for you give us a better explanation of your install details etc..when new to this scene its easy for anyone to get anxious/impatient and not be concentrating at your best...
It can be confusing for some,just do one thing at a time step by step....

I'm also new here. Just encountered the same problem. I used the advice given by above

Tried unplugging second display - didn't work
Then I unplugged a USB extension I used for the mouse - didn't work
Then I unplugged my second HDD and also connected my primary SSD to 3gbs port rather than 6gbs. That did the trick

Happy days
