Hey guys. Installed El Capitan with Unibeast USB, partitioned off space on the same drive for Windows. Installed Multibeast with Clover boot loader. Every reboot Clover came up, perfect. I then installed Windows on the partitioned off space. Now, it boots only to windows. If I boot to my Unibeast USB, I can choose the Mac partition and it still boots no problem. I have tried reinstalling Clover boot loader via multibeast a number of times now to no avail. Any solutions to this? It's like Windows took over the MBR. Do I have to do something within Windows? Any way to fix this or should I permanently leave a USB with unibeast in my comp lol. Or redo this (in which case, where did I go wrong??)

Thank you!!!

Clover configurator - custom entries - boot volume =

Or better yet, get a separate drive for Windows so you do not have this :banghead:

Thanks for the tip! I'll have a look and see how it goes. I forgot to mention it's a legacy bootloader. Also, yeah... Having reinstalled like 3x now I think that's probably the way to go. I have access to endless hard drives for free (SATA) but only have one SSD.

You also forgot to put your hardware into your profile or create a sig as the forum rules require. Please fix this before you post again.
