Problems using Clover boot loader with working ML and Mavericks - resolved
I have two partitions (one with ML 10.8.5 and the other Mavericks) both installed using UniBeast-MultiBeast and both working with dual boot via Chimera boot loader on the EFI partition.
I also have another HDD with Windows 7 in UEFI mode which I cannot boot using Chimera and hence need to change boot order by going into BIOS to switch between OSX and Windows.
In the past I had success using Clover boot loader on a Gigabyte Ultrabook with ML 10.8.4 and Windows 8 in UEFI mode. This was done many months back and it is still working with no issues.
I am trying to do the same on my desktop but having a number of issues.
1) If I install Clover on the EFI partition of the OSX hard drive (where Chimera is already installed) it does not even show up in BIOS as a possible UEFI boot option
2) if I install Clover on a USB stick or another hard drive on the machine, the Clover menu shows up but none of the OS X partitions can be seen as boot options. Various Windows drives show up and I can boot into Windows 7 by picking the Windows UEFI.
3) If I try using Clover as legacy boot loader I cannot get it even to the Clover boot menu
4) If I create a Clover UEFI installer, I cannot see OSX install partition as a boot option after coming to the Clover boot menu.
I read many posts and tried many variations of drivers and still cannot get past any of the issues listed above. Any suggestions are appreciated.
