Hi team,

I cannot find the answer to my problem.
I freshly installed OS Sierra and ALL is OK.
I created a bootable USB with a W7 virtual machine.

My issue : when I start the computer and go to boot option, I see my bootable usb, I hit enter BUT I am redirected to Clover.
Once Clover has loaded, I can see 3 windows tagged partitions :
- the empty one : "boot windows from"
- the mgr : "boot windows from mgrboot"
- the cd : "boot windows from the cdboot"
+ OS X partition and Time Machine Partition

I tried the 3.
The cd gives me the starting screen with "Hit any key to bot from the cd dvd"
I hit a key and I am once again redirected to Clover.

I edited the BIOS config, I disabled all boot option, and clover still take the leadership.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance team !
 
Looks as if you created a Legacy mode installer on your USB. You should install using a UEFI installer USB.
 
Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Is Rufus an UEFI installer USB ? If not, which one can you recommend?
You can use Rufus, but I prefer using the Windows media crration tool as it creates a USB installer capable of installing UEFI or Legacy. Using Rufus, you have to select one or the other but not both.
