Hi
I may be misunderstanding how this all works so go easy (please!)
I have an HP Prodesk 400 G1 (Haswell, with Kepler GT730). I have two SSDs (identical) and want to be able to boot Windows10, MacOS Catalina, Ubuntu Linux (most likely or a flavour of Ubuntu) and an OS called AROS (Amiga-like). The issue here is that AROS will not UEFI boot.
Given Windows doesn't like to play nice and often tries to overwrite other OS EFI files, I was thinking to have on SSD with MBR/BIOS boot and install Windows (in Legacy mode) and AROS on that. Get that working and then remove the SSD before starting on the other SSD.
I confess I am a little confused how to do this next stage. Do I need to have a GPT formatted SSD, install Linux and then MacOS and install Clover Legacy? Do I need to leave legacy boot enabled in BIOS or just UEFI and it boots to the Clover in the UEFI partition and then legacy boots Windows/AROS but UEFI boots Ubuntu/MacOS or it should I just completely remove UEFI boot options and it boots everything Legacy?
