I followed this guide three times again and again. My system tries hard disk, but system doesn't start. I still have to use usb stick. System is yosemite, and it's booting perfectly via usb. from hdd i even don't get the boot menu displayed. via usb i can choose to boot from usb or hdd. I'm stuck now. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance

Check that the bootloader is installed. boot into OS X and run MultiBeast - select only the bootloader and try this process again. Make sure that you are using the correct disk partition for your installation. This guide uses disk0s1. If you have windows installed first then this may be different in your installation.

I did so. I reinstalled chimera, all drivers, and the problem persists. Here's my log:

James - What text is coming up on screen when you try to boot direct from the HDD? Boot0 or Boot1? I assume that the BIOS is set to boot the HDD as PO1

Click to expand...

Wether boot0 not boot1, the lifebook boots, access harddisk and afterwards bios boot menu appears. choosing harddisk produces black screen and again bios boot menu... is there anything i can do to debug? is the boot file currupt?
 
After following this guide I get boot0 error at reboot. What should I do? I did same things James did.
I have an asrock z97 and i7 4770k

HELP! While typing the last command "rm -R /boot /Extra" I get the following message: "rm: /Extra: No such file or directory". What should I do?
EDIT: That's because I've removed the Extra file manually! No boot file on the system drive though, there is one on the EFI. Is that OK?
 
I rebooted. No gibberish, but booting stops when the bar is in the middle. Any ideas?
EDIT: fixed that too. But booting is quite slow.
EDIT2: Slow booting solved too. Thanks guys!
