Hi all

I have not updated my system for around a year or so but have finally bitten the bullet andcdone a fresh install.

However, after multibeast it only works booting to Clover on the created USB ( and works great too! )

But booting to HD after multibeast the graphics card spins up and nothing? What is different that makes the USB boot work great but not from HD?

Has the Clover Boot section not been installed by Mtibeast?
 
Start with the computer powered off.
Insert your USB installer.
Power on the computer and press your boot menu key - Usually F12 but YMMV.
At the boot menu screen select your USB flash drive as the boot device and boot.
At the Clover menu screen select your hard drive and boot.
When you get to the desktop download and run EFI Mounter and mount the EFI partition of your USB.
Copy the entire /EFI folder from the EFI partition of your USB to the desktop.
Eject the USB.
Run EFI Mounter again and mount the EFI partition of your HDD.
Delete the entire /EFI folder from the EFI partition of your HDD.
Copy the /EFI folder from your desktop to the EFI partition of your HDD.
Restart

You should now be able to boot from your HDD in the same way that you could previously boot from your USB.

Hey many thanks I’ll try that: Also it sounds simple enough for me to follow too!

Everything I learnt when I set this up has gone - total noob again
