It would not apply to the laptop in your profile anyway. Your laptop specs do not match this guide.

That is up to the OP to provide.
Why would you think I have a copy of the missing file?

I found it no problems thank you, i do have this issue now however.

Unibeast loaded the everything to the usb fine and the process was all smooth however multibeast did not install the drivers or quick start boot method it keeps failing, so i opened the clover package i put onto my usb prior which worked and allowed for a clover interface to the HD.

This appears when i boot from hd for the first time without the usb installer in, the apple logo is present before this and gets to about 3 quarters finish and my screen turns to the image below, i really dont know what i need to do from here, i followed the guide from OP exactly, i have the sony vaio svf1521jcgb.

"Specialise" what does this mean? I know what the word means in everday scenarios but what does it mean in the context of this step for this tutorial?

"USB Partition for vaio" i have no usb partition with an EFI folder in it??? I dont understand.

Am i creating a partition on the usb and putting an EFI folder into it? Should it already be there? I need more info on this.

"1.Open folder
2./EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI"

Where is this EFI folder he is talking about located? On the USB, on the HD? Its not specifically mentioned, is there a path to get to it, what/where is folder is this EFI folder i need to make changes to located?

Clearly means "customize".

"USB Partition for vaio" i have no usb partition with an EFI folder in it??? I dont understand.

If you partitioned your USB as GPT, perhaps you neglected to mount the EFI partition.

You might want to read the laptop guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

"1.Open folder
2./EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI"

Where is this EFI folder he is talking about located? On the USB, on the HD?

If you're preparing the USB installer, the EFI partition on USB.
If you're doing post-install, the EFI partition SSD/HDD.

"If you partitioned your USB as GPT, perhaps you neglected to mount the EFI partition."

I erased and formated the usb before the unibeast stage? I selected GPT and macos journled, did i miss a step here?
