Yes, it's the EFI on the old HDD that I'm looking at. Neither it nor the new one from this hotpatch guide have a microsoft folder. I've spent the day trying to replace that folder from other Windows install discs, but still can't boot into my old Windows 8. Extra frustrating that I can't get a...

Thanks again for the info. There is no Microsoft folder at \EFI\ on that HDD (which is GPT after all) I suspect that this is all related to one of the scripts of yours that I ran doing this hotpatch install (not that I'm complaining). I kept the old HDD in tact while I followed this guide for...

Thanks. Fast boot was disabled. Assuming it was installed legacy because enabling the legacy scanning did reveal the Windows partition on Clover's startup screen. But when I choose it, I get a "Boot Device Not Found" error. I saw some of your other advice about marking the partition as active...

I just updated to latest clover and El Cap using this guide, from Clover UEFI dual booting Mavericks and Windows 8. I did a fresh Clover/EFI install on a new SDD in the optical drive, And erased the old Mac partition from HDD that Windows was on. I didn't mess with the windows EFI or volume...

Is there a reason I can't use torrents to download El Capitan? I tried on the ProBook Im using (running Mavericks) from the App Store. It just said I can't download it for this computer. I tried on my friends MacBook Air running Sierra and it said it was too new.

My audio drivers seem to have vanished. My verbose startup shows hundreds of ........ and +++++++ while searching for drivers. The PC side of things works fine, but I no longer have the option to select "built-in" audio from system prefs on the mac. I also cant send audio out through HDMI, or...

Running clover. I'm thinking this issue may have caused the destruction of my previous motherboard on this machine. It's "asleep", but the fan is running, and if I mindlessly throw it in laptop bag it would probably overheat. Solved: Internet Sharing + AC power = Computer won't sleep.

I think I'll start at step 7, and do a clean OSX install. My internet is sooo slow here, it'd take days to redownload and start from step one. UPDATE: Tried that. Didn't fix the problem. I'm looking for older PBI's to see if I have some luck there. I also tried JimAvrum's suggestion here ...

Another possibly related clue, with the older versions, I would occasionally get System Prefs opening randomly to ask about connecting a Bluetooth Keyboard (which I don't own, and my compatible wifi card doesn't support). I just closed it a handful of times.

Ok, deleted all caches from Library in home folder and library in Mac HD. I downloaded Mavericks months ago when I first set this computer up. I remember following the instructions carefully, so probably from the apple store. This OS worked just fine, albeit with an older Clover, until my...

It hangs at that photo, with the last message being about bluetooth controller. The first page of info flies by, and then the second page I can capture.

Attached all 3. Hard to photo beginning of verbose messages, they move too quick!

Well here is some of that information... the verbose mode hangs at "missing bluetooth controller transport"I don't know what you mean about posting a folder. And my var/log/install is 18mb. Annnnd I'm guessing its not the Legacy Clover, everything is updated. In About it said 2.3k... Sorry for...

Well, my report to you in another forum, that this worked, was not correct. You're talking about ACPI files which is greek to me, so I assumed this had to do with the DSDT.aml files generated by PBI. Correct me if I'm wrong. I can get on to Mavericks if I boot from EFI/Clover on USB stick...

Right as usual (about the ACPI files this time). RehabMan, it won't let me PM you because I havent posted enough, and apparently you're not staff. I'd like to say thanks with a $ donation thru paypal or bitcoin. Got any suggestions? Can you PM me an address?

Looks like I have one more hurdle after my recent motherboard swap. The problem is that, when booting into Mavericks, it hangs / freezes at the Apple Logo about half the time. I can tell that it's going to happen because the screen stays on full brightness, opposed to going to the most recent...

Time to replace HP Probook 4540s MoBo... What do I need to know before ordering? It worked! And I was able to swap it out in like 2 hours! For anyone interested, follow this guide: http://www.insidemylaptop.com/how-to-disassemble-hp-probook-4540s/ and use the service manual to get through the...

Time to replace HP Probook 4540s MoBo... What do I need to know before ordering? You were right, thanks! Got it narrowed down to the following list. Not sure if I need to match the replacement perfectly. UMA graphics with WWAN 683496-001 UMA graphics without WWAN 683495-001 1-GB of discrete...

Time to replace HP Probook 4540s MoBo... What do I need to know before ordering? I have no service manual. Bought 1 year used from Amazon. Would there be info in my ioreg? found here http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook-mavericks/112383-guide-install-mavericks-clover-bootloader-261.html#post895026

Time to replace HP Probook 4540s MoBo... What do I need to know before ordering? Is it necessary I match it closely to do a swap? How closely?
