Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI

Hello again :)
Some times ago (after successfully installed OS X 10.10.2) i tried to install Windows UEFI on my laptop, but faced with some troubles.
I write here 2 times:

2 -- post #2692 (http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-proboo...te-hp-laptops-clover-uefi-270.html#post986018)
I tried a lot of things: original windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10(TP) ISOs downloaded from msdn; various action sequences with driver partitions; install windows first on a clean drive and etc. (tried all that I could find on the Internet) -- but every time I got the same result -- "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed".
I found a lot of solution for CSM-enabled UEFI. But this option unavailable in 6-series laptops like my 4530s.
So I got a question: Is it possible to dualboot OS X and windows on 6-series laptops? If yes, what I should do? It's time when I really need windows-based soft for education process, but also need OS X based soft for development :|

Update your BIOS to the latest first.
 
Hello,

in the, 2b. (Manual way), the last step ''Copy BaseSystem.dmg and BaseSystem.chunklist (hidden files) from OS X Install ESD to the root of OS X Base System (on your USB)'' the icons are grey, is that ok?

No problem. Grey indicates that they are hidden files.

Start point: I have installed OS X on partition1 and empty partition2 formatted as HFS+.
Then I download win8 (for example) ISO from msdn and copy all content of ISO to FAT-formatted usb-stick.
Then I press f9 at boot and choose Boot from EFI file -> my usb-stick with windows -> efi -> boot -> bootx64.efi
Then installation menu show up, I delete prepared partition2 and create new partition instead of this (format button is unavailable because windows can't work with HFS+ FS).
Then I see steps for installing windows:
Copying Windows files -- ok
Expanding Windows files -- ok
Installing features -- ok
Installing updates -- ok
Completing installation -- at this step a saw error-window which says: "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed" 335237.jpeg
After clicking OK and waiting some time installation menu appears again.

I noticed that after all of this Microsoft folder appears in EFI partition. (but booting clover with windows efi-file or directly from efi-file lead to black screen with only _ symbol at top right corner of display)
Also if I start installing windows on partition2 again (formatted with windows installer on previous try) I saw a message that this partition contains Windows and it will move to Windows.old folder if I continue.

So, seems like I said all what I do :)

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