Okay so I've been using Chimera bootloader for quite a time now and I just decided to move to Clover to fix iMessage problems and use UEFI instead of old MBR/Legacy Bios. I wanted to upgrade from ML to Yosemite anyway so I thought it would be the occasion to do all this.

I followed a tutorial to upgrade to Yosemite using Clover and I managed to get it work fine. My problem is now that I can't boot into Windows 7 anymore...

I've started getting myself versed on UEFI, bootloaders and so on but I still don't know what to do.

So I have one SSD gpt, with multiple partitions on it:
TYPE NAME SIZE ID
0 GUID_partition_scheme 256.1 GB /dev/disk1
1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2 Apple_HFS Hackintosh 99.6 GB disk1s2
3 Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk1s3
4 Microsoft Basic Data 155.6 GB disk1s4


Since I previously used Chimera I suppose the Windows partition was loaded through the MBR. The question is how to "configure" the EFI to correctly boot the windows partition. More importantly: can I do it without erasing my Windows partition?
 
1) Do you have a GA board? Gigabyte board use GA not CA.
2) See if this helps:

I'm using separate drives so I'm not sure if that setting would help you.
 
Thanks for your response. I gave up, cleaned my partitions and did a fresh install of both Windows and Yosemite in UEFI modes.
