Hello, as the title says I'm struggling reaching the bootloader.
I've booth used Clover and Unibeast in every possible configuration, (both for MBR and gpt) both UEFI and LEGACY. Both formatted in different MBR and GPT tried booth of them.
And yes i've tried using both F11 to choose what device to booth from and also choosed the USB drive as 1st boot device in bios both delivers the same result.
So I figured out that the bios must be the problem. Even doe I had enabled and disabled the correct recommended options.
But still I suspected that the bios was the problem so I ran Optimized defaults and changed all the bios settings to the correct ones.
A thing worth mentioning is that I don't find any setting saying secure boot and I can't find a setting ''Other os''. I believe that it's because bios is pretty old. I believe from 2011. This bios does support both UEFI and Legacy.
But still I cant reach the Bootloader.
If I use the USB with UEFI setting, my computer instantly boot into windows. And if i boot with Usb drive with legacy setting it just comes to a black screen with ''-'' or ''/''. I've seen somewhere that you're supposed to press 6 when this comes up but that didn't work.
I've seen some people on the forum that have used the same motherboard as me, so it can't be impossible. Maybe the bios/uefi need to be updated?
My specs:
Motherboard: MSI P67A GD-65
Ram: 2x 4GB 1600MHZ VENGEANCE
CPU: I5 2400 3,1 GHZ Intel HD 2000 (using 780ti as primary graphics shouldn't be a issue)
GPU: GTX 780ti SC EVGA
HARDRIVE: SAMSUNG 840SSD 250GB with windows MBR, OLD HDD formatted in to GPT
