Hello bro , sorry for bothering you one more time , I was working on the guide u gave me to install mavericks using clover , i followed the guide till this step

Enable these options in BIOS:
6-series laptop: UEFI Boot.
7-series laptop: UEFI Native without CSM or UEFI Hybrid with CSM (if you have Windows Legacy)
Disable Wake on LAN.
Disable Firewire device.

I enabled UEFI , and it gives me kinda warning message say that this still in beta mode , ain't stable , etc.. but I enabled the option
then I disabled Wake on Lan , but i can't find Disable firewire device option , after that all I get is those black screens
,, is my Probook 4530s compatible with this method , I believe yes cause I already used it to boot back to my system as you know bro
my specs are : 4530s Probook Core i3 , Intel HD 3000 with ati card disabled in BIOS , the BIOS version is F.09 (05/13/2011) i never upgraded bios before , thanks bro in advance :))

What are you trying to do? Boot the installer USB or boot your HDD?

If you're booting the installer USB, did you choose Boot EFI file from BIOS?

Follow the instructions carefully and it will work...

Hello bro , I successfully Dual booted Mavericks & Windows 7 , followed the guide provided , but got a new problem now , when i cam to partition my drive step , created 3 Partitions
1 - Macintosh HD (Extended Journaled)
2 - Windows (Extended Journaled) , reformatted later to NTFS from windows installer
3 - Storage (exFat)
everything went okay and i was able to access the exfat partition , i left my laptop connected to external hard drive copying my files from that external to my exfat partition they are about 400 GB , when i came back to the laptop the coping was completed but when I restarted the laptop I got my exFat not appear in desktop even not mounted and it's not able to be mounted from Disk Utility , even from windows the partition is not readable , and require formatting to NTFS to access the partition again ??? ... What I did wrong , thought that exfat is the best way to deal between windows and OS X .

Did you create the exFAT in Windows or in Disk Utility? (it should not be created from Disk Utility).

Created everything from Disk Utility I just formatted my windows partition again from Mac OS Extended Journaled to NTFS in order to install windows , am thinking of reformat my Storage partition to NTFS :( and use any software to identify it in mac , what can I do because FAT 32 is limited to 4 GB file size , any suggestions ?!!
 
Created everything from Disk Utility

That's a mistake. You should not create Windows partitions from Disk Utility as that will create a hybrid GPT/MBR partition scheme which you don't want for Windows UEFI.

I am aware of this that's why when I partitioned my drive using disk utility I created
1 - Macintosh HD (Mac OS Extended Journaled)
2 - Windows (Mac OS Extended Journaled)
3 - Storage (ExFat)
what I did that I deleted this partition ( Windows (Mac OS Extended Journaled) ) later from the windows installer not Disk Utility in order to create the NTFS partition for windows , besides the ExFat partition was accessible from every OS and everything was okay , I don't know what happened really !!

Mistake is step #3. Create as HFS+J, then format in Windows as exFAT.

Note: You should be aware that OS X implementation of exFAT is notoriously buggy.
