Hi, heres mt situation. I installed OS X for a friend yesterday and we almost have it working perfect. The problem now is that we can't get it to boot windows. When booting the PC the clover screen shows 4 options which are "Boot Clover from EFI" Boot Windows from" "Boot Mac OS X from Macintosh HD" and "boot recovery from Macintosh HD"
Clicking Boot Windows from results in a black screen and the only way to fix it is to reset the computer. I tried adding the NTFS.efi file and changing the boot to LegacyBIOSDefault but it didn't change anything.
Heres where it gets weird, Once it wouldn't boot Windows I thought Windows might need to be reinstalled. I made a UEFI windows install USB and tried to boot it. When I chose it as the boot device the screen flashed twice and then it brought me into the clover boot loader screen. I knew that shouldn't have happened but I decided to try booting the install flash drive from Clover and rather then booting the installer it took me straight into the windows install we have on the computer. I don't understand how this happened but for some reason attempting to boot the Windows installer from clover actually just boots windows. It's good that this lets us get into Windows but I would not like to have to leave that flash drive in there forever.
The current setup is that Windows is running on one partition of the SSD and Mac OS X is running on the other partition of the SSD. Booting into Mac works fine, booting into Windows is the problem
