Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI

[Andrevvvvv]

I've never had any issue... How did you originally partition your drive? Are you installing to the main SATA device?

/dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *256.1 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Hackintosh 155.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Apple_HFS ForWin 100.0 GB disk0s4

Yes, I'm trying to install to the main SATA device.
EFI available space: 180.6 MB

Found some information about this problem on original mac's. Solution -- reset NVRAM/PRAM.
Also I think windows installation fails because bcdboot can not configure.

Maybe there are many garbage EFI boot entries. Best way I've found to manage them is efibootmgr on Linux.

No problem. Grey indicates that they are hidden files.

Thank you!!!

I took a few steps along the way to solve the problem.
When installing windows I press shift+f10 and in command prompt I use diskpart with this commands:
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick label=Windows
assign letter=w
Then exit diskpart.
Then write
dism /apply-image /imagefile:c:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:W:\
And get
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: manyNumbersHere
Applying image
[==========================100.0%==========================]
The operation completed successfully.
Then
ren с:\efi efi.bak
bcdboot W:\Windows /s c: /f UEFI /l ru-ru
And get
Boot files successfully created.
Then exit installation so my laptop reboot to clover (without windows entry)
Then copy EFI/Microsoft folder from USB-stick to EFI folder on EFI partition (with renamed bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi)
What I get at this step: Windows partition are visible in finder. There are PerfLogs, Program Files, Program Files (x86), Users and Windows folders here.
If I restart from OS X I get to clover with Windows entry now (boot Windows from EFI).
If I press it, windows post-installation process begins and I get this (attachment 1)
If I reboot and press it again I get this (attachment 2)
Can I somehow beat windows post-installation?

You should install Windows the typical way. It works for everyone but you...

Note my comment regarding UEFI entries in post #2853.

Checked for garbage in EFI boot entries. Nothing found.

Btw, I just completed windows 8.1 post-installation using cmd. All works fine. Will try this method with win10TP.

Can I install Mac OS X without recovery partition?

If you don't use createinstallmedia (eg. 2b in post #1) then you will not have a recovery partition.

Can I replace the HP G840 G1 LCD with an HD LCD? Has anyone done this successfully in this thread?

I think someone did it with a 450 G1 or G2... You might use search.

I don't know how that compares to your screen size...

I have problem with Win7 install EFI as dual boot. Can boot into the installer with EFI files on my Win7 USB. But it can't load any drivers
"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers..."
I have make a partition for win7 with Disk Utility (Mac OS Extended as the guide).
