Clover issues

[mariusrg]

Hi,

i'm trying to go from Chimera to Clover and wanted to test first the boot loader on a USB, before moving it on the main HDD so, I followed the guide on the forum to install clover on the USB stick (formatted also the EFI as fat32) but....not sure why when I'm booting from Clover I cannot see any of the OSX drives. (I can see only NTFS ones)
I installed Clover also on a second HDD and the same issue. I was able to see the OSX installer made with Clover, but after the install went fine (did the same on an another HDD for tests) again could not see the OSX drive. (only the NTFS ones and the Installer Disk)

I'm using the MB Asus Maximus formula VI, if that matters.

Any ideas why I cannot see my Mac drives?

What happens if you tap the right arrow key until the icon on the far right is hilited and you tap the arrow key again? Depending on the theme, the number of icons on the screen may be limited and you just need to get to the second screen of icons.

Thanks for the reply, but....I did that and if I go beyond the right disk icon then it's back to second row, with options and all. I tried multiple themes and yeah....it's only showing NTFS disks and the OSX installer.

It's something wrong, like all my Mac disks are "invisible" or not loaded.

In .\drivers64UEFI I have:
CsmVideoDxe-64.efi
EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
FSInject-64.efi
HFSPlus.efi
OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi
OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi
PartitionDxe-64.efi

Also, looking into the bootlog I have these entries:

Perhaps you have not understood the way clover install works. It is not like Chimera/Chameleon, where you select icon once, hit enter to install and then hit the OS X icon to boot OS X.
Clover works to install like "Real" Mac and does it in 2 parts. So, boot Clover, select the install USB. Second time around, select Install OS X, thid=rd time around you should see 2 OS X icons - one is OS X, the other is bootable recovery.

BTW, I hope you are disconnecting Windows drives while installing OS X.
