I'm pretty new to Clover and i'm trying to figure out how to dual boot between Mountain Lion and Mavericks. Everything I find is dual booting between OSX and Windows.

Right now I can only see the SSD where Mavericks is installed, but cannot see the SSD with ML in the Clover Bootup screen.
I'm trying to add it in the GUI tab in Clover Configurator, but I have no clue what to do in there. Any help is appreciated.
I'm trying this on an 8470p


I tried what was suggested in this thread I had created, but no luck.

Turn off Fast Boot in your BIOS, and use original config.plist.
 
will do. I am using the config created from the ProBook installer if I recall correctly.

Thanks!

Edit: I can't get into the BIOS unless I remove the SSD. Is this normal?

Not normal.

What is make/model of SSD? Where is SSD installed? Do you have the latest firmware flashed to the SSD?
 
It is installed on an 8470p. The SSD is this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167175
It might not have the latest firmware installed as i've had it for a few months now.

It is installed on the main hdd slot. Ever since I installed Clover I can no longer access the BIOS unless I remove it.
 
Success. I was able to get into the BIOS using your suggestion. Disabled Fast Boot and i'm now posting from my Mountain Lion SSD.

Thanks for your help!

If fast boot is enabled and there is a valid bootloader on your SSD, you have to be really quick with Esc (seems obvious). Disable fast boot and it won't be such a trouble.
 
Yes! Got it working!
Thanks for the help
