Thank you so much for this detailed guide. It helped me getting Yosemite running on my Gigabyte P35W v3 (with the only difference to your Laptop being the NVIDIA GTX 970m). The only part I changed, was the Post-Installation: I just copied over the CLOVER Folder from the USB Stick I booted from...

So I gave up on installing Windows and Mac on the same SSD, since it did cost so much time, that it was more effective just ordering another SSD (this time only 256GB). I installed Windows 8 (already upgraded to Windows 10) on the 512GB SSD and Yosemite on the new 256GB SSD, since most of the...

Thanks for the tips, you both! :) I tried renaming the Windows Bootmanger efi, but it didn't change anything. Then I just copied the whole folder to the other hard drive, so that I would have it backed up, in case somthing went wrong. After that I saw the "UEFI BIOS" Boot option jhax01 was...

Hi jhax01, thanks for your reply. :) Unfortunately nothing happens, when I select the empty slot in the BIOS Boot screen. I don't know, what that is. It just shows a "-" which travels down a few lines. I think now, that two seperate SSDs would have been a much better idea, but the 512 GB...

How would I go about doing this? In the BIOS Settings I see two Windows Boot Manager Partitions (one is apparently the Recovery partition and one loads Windows 8.1 normally). Then there is a "Mac OS X" Partition but when I boot from this partition, nothing happens. Do I have to manually...

I did not create the Windows Partition in disk utility. It was created in gparted and then never touched again. :) But this problem now solved itself, I don't know what it was, but I could boot now into Windows and install all drivers and stuff no problem. Since I already installed clover in...

I started from scratch once again. - Partitioned the SSD with gparted (GPT) with two partitions, first one NTFS for Windows, second one HFS+ for Mac - went through the Mac installation since I thought Yosemite would make its own EFI partition which would also work for Windows since it doesn't...

UPDATE: I partitioned the SSD with a live version of gparted on Ubuntu. After that the Windows 8.1 installation went throught smoothly and everything works fine. But now I can't install OSX. When I boot into the installer with the USB Stick I can't choose the HFS+ Partition I made with...

Ok. What do you suggest to partition the SSD? Because I can't get the Windows installation to work.

So I couldn't get it back to work, even after removing the battery over night. If there is a CMOS Battery installed in this laptop, I didn't find it. I installed the 512GB MSata SSD while the case was open and made a reinstall of Yosemite on that after partitioning it into two partitions...

I haven't installed Windows yet. The cold reboot and the disconnecting of the battery didn't achieved the expected result. I now get a black screen when I boot. When I then press Enter I get into the clover boot screen. I can now only boot into the Yosemite installation. Booting into the USB...

As far as I understand EC Reset requires removing the battery. But the battery on this laptop is not removable. I would have to open the case which means - I think - a warranty void, since there are some black "stickers" on some of the screws that I would have to remove in order to open the...

Oh man, I read the FAQs before I've started this thread but then I completely forgot about it. I'm sorry. :) I tried fixing brightness controls and the first thing I tried was trying out the fn-keys to see if they were doing anything. I pressed the one making the laptop go to sleep mode I think...

After a bit of tinkering I've got a bootable Yosemite installation working and running. Still a few issues to be fixed (Audio, Keyboard Layout - minor issue, screen brightness control, etc.), but for the most part I am pretty happy with it. Graphics running pretty smooth with just trying out a...

That actually worked. Thank you! :) I got through the installer and now I'm in my freshly booted Yosemite installation. Thank you so much! :) There seem to be graphics problems but that was to be expected I think. The Touchpad also doesn't work Now I just have to do the right configuration...
