Hey all, ever since I switched to Clover, my Mac OS runs beautifully, but the only problem is the dual boot into Windows. I have been scouring these forums and guides but can't seem to find anything that quite works. I knew my way around Chameleon pretty well, but am new to Clover. Maybe there's a thread or guide I'm just not finding here. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
[checkbox] Mac OS (El Cap) boots great (and much faster than Chameleon)!
But when I try to boot Windows, it fails. Here's hopefully all the pertinent info.
Thanks everybody.

- For Windows, the only Clover boot option is Legacy mode, even though the drive is GUID partition scheme. If I choose this option, it hangs on black screen with blinking cursor.
- The drive is GUID, and has the identifier disk5 (so disk5s1 is the EFI partition, and disk5s2 is the Microsoft partition), but if I try to mount this drive in Clover Configurator, I get an error: Unexpected disk identifier: disk5s1.
- If I continue, it mounts an EFI partition, but it is empty.
- From what I've been reading, shouldn't the Clover install have put boot stuff onto that partition?
- I'm a bit scared to copy or install stuff onto that partition manually, because of the error message.
- If I unplug my Mac drives, of course, it boots right into Windows.
- I've tried various configurations in my BIOS — UEFI only, UEFI and Legacy — which makes no difference.
- I've also tried removing and reordering the boot options in BIOS, which makes no difference.
- On my main Mac OS disk (disk0) I did install the NTFS UEFI driver.
Thanks everybody.
