I've partitioned my drive with the El Capitan Installer into two partitions FAT and Journaled.

I installed El Capitan to the Journaled partition, I then installed Clover using MultiBeast.

After that I installed Windows 10 to the FAT partition.

It seems Windows 10 has overwritten the Clover bootloader.

I booted back into El Capitan using the Clover bootloader on the UniBeast USB stick.

Then I tried to reinstall the Clover bootloader in Legacy and UEFI Mode.

However, it seems Windows 10 always boots without taking me to Clover.

I mounted the EFI partition and there is no Microsoft folder which is where I'd assume the Windows 10 bootloader to be.

So how do I reinstall the Clover bootloader and overwrite the Windows 10 one (where ever it may be)?
 
You need to make your OSX partition active.
Use a bootable tool like Partmagic or use dispart on a Windows install disc or usb installer.

Do I have to make the partition active from Windows or can I do it from El Capitan?

Code:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *256.1 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX                     127.7 GB   disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data WINDOWS                 127.4 GB   disk0s4
/dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk1

   2:       Microsoft Basic Data FILES                   500.0 GB   disk1s2
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *31.9 GB    disk2
   1:                  Apple_HFS ESD-USB                 31.9 GB    disk2s1
 
Does it have to be the EFI partition or the OSX partition?

I've made the OSX partition active through fdisk, but it's still not booting correctly.

Code:
         Starting       Ending #: id  cyl  hd sec -  cyl  hd sec [     start -       size]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
