Can`t install clover UEFI

[JediJames07]

My current partition schema:

/dev/disk0   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *750.2 GB   disk0
   1:        Bios Boot Partition                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:       Microsoft Basic Data WIN8                    120.0 GB   disk0s2
   3:       Microsoft Basic Data DATA                    573.2 GB   disk0s3
   4:                  Apple_HFS OS X                    31.4 GB    disk0s4
   5:                 Linux Swap                         4.3 GB     disk0s6
   6:       Microsoft Basic Data                         20.5 GB    disk0s7

I selected boot - UEFI hybrid with csm in bios.

I put usb into notebook, booted EFI file from usb flash drive, pressed F4, run HP Probook Installer with clover UEFI, checked all needed customizations. Install is finished successfully, I restart computer and get error message saying No bootable hard drive. I tried this 3 times already and still same situation.

When I look into my partition scheme I would say that error is in 1st partition - it is not EFI. But I selected uefi hybrid booting. I would like to add clover folder from EFI partition, but this is kinda weird: There is not any EFI partition, but when I open manually /Volumes/ there is folder named EFI, inside it is another folder called EFI and this next EFI folder contains 2 folders: Boot and CLOVER

So I added this folder to this post

Your drive is MBR-scheme, which does not have EFI partition.

You have to create manually EFI partition, or it's the best to format your drive to GPT and install again.

 

[JediJames07]

To create manually EFI, I should change Bios Boot Partition to EFI for example with this guide? http://superuser.com/questions/460762/how-can-i-repair-the-windows-8-efi-bootloader (1st answer)

I can`t reformat and recreate my whole disk, I have some encrypted files in windows and even now I can`t read them from os X, earlier from ubuntu. So I would lose them.

Use Chameleon or Chimera then.

Use Chameleon or Chimera then.

How should I do this?
If I set legacy boot in bios I can`t boot into OS X because my flash drive is UEFI clover. So I left UEFI hybrid with csm and booted into OS X using this flash drive. Next I downloaded chameleon bootloader, installed and after reboot - no operating system found.

Your best solution is formatting completely your drive to GPT

or stay with Mavericks + Chameleon guide.
