hmmm interesting, so Intel wireless cards are not supported by any means?
Correct. Apple doesn't use them.

I ran into problems once again.Correct. Apple doesn't use them.
I ran into problems once again.
I took the decision to erase the whole SSD and re-partition it using disk utility -> install OS X -> everything is fine. then i wanted to install windows -> rebooted and inserted the stick but it didnt appear in the boot list.
it doesnt give me the usb stick as an option,
..
instead it shows the exact options before formatting the whole disk (all of them start with Clover *******) any idea what is wrong?
Please define "the stick".
Define "it".
...then rebooted to install Windows but I couldn't find the option to choose Windows installer although I tried different methods.
in this process I must have hurt OS X and the USB stick with OS X installer because when I tried to boot to OS X or the installer it shows the attached message.

finally a friend of mine managed to install Windows 8.1 but strangely I'm seeing boot options the exact same options which I had before doing the whole process when I'm hitting the hot key.

yes I'm not a total noob, I understand how to do it luckily but the issue is it only appears as legacy and even I choose it I doesn't work. I've tried with Windows 10 and 7 on separate USB sticks.You need to use your BIOS hotkey to select the Windows installer USB (UEFI mode).
anything can be done from clover menus?GenericUSBXHCI.kext should not be used.
I've learnt this lesson the hard way. so shall I try to download Linux and start exploring from there?You must have added those entries within the Clover GUI (best to not use options when you don't understand what they do)..
You can remove them with 'efibootmgr' in Linux.

I have a working Win8.1 USB stick now so all is good so farWindows 7 requires you move some files around to have it recognized as UEFI (google it).
Must be certain UEFI is enabled...
USB should be created as follows:
- MBR, FAT32 single partition
- copy ISO root to root of USB partition
No third party software (eg. Rufus) is needed.
I downgraded the BIOS to A01 then upgraded to A07 and luckily all Clover options were gone.If you have it on your USB, plug the USB into another working computer and remove it from EFI/Clover/kexts.
If you have it on your system already, you can try to remove it from single user mode. But it probably won't work as it is likely marked OSBundleRequired=Root which means it loads early, and even in safe mode.
You can also try deleting it from the OS X installer (in Terminal).
You will probably want to do some googling/reading on efibootmgr. There might be an option in Clover to remove Clover related entries (I haven't looked).
@nguyenmac
can you give me your clover folder? I have a pretty same laptop and I need it (tried following the guides to create the USB but it didn't work)
