Hello.

I've been trying to install El Capitan on my PC following this tutorial: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...orted-intel-based-pc.172672/#alt_post_install
However, I can't boot without using USB. After Step 5 or Step 6 (I've tried both of them) - after restart I get error "All boot options are tried". Or if I choose what I want to boot in BIOS (there is only one choice - Mac OS X), it just blinks and goes back to BIOS (shows a blue-black screen for less than a sec).
I've tried both UEFI and Legacy, and BIOS setting Boot Mode Selection also all of the selections (CSM, UEFI, CSM and UEFI). Security disabled, AHCI enabled.

I don't have any ideas why this is happening.
Thank you!

Did you install Clover boot loader in post-installation per guide?
 
Yes, as I said - I've done it in two different ways (step 5 and step 6 as an alternate way) and both have same issue.
