Hi, I've successfully installed Sierra 10.12 on my Acer Aspire 5750G laptop without having any problems, but I can't find a way how to boot to Sierra without having the usb plugged in.

After installing clover (UEFI) on HDD using multibeast I used to get "No bootable devices found" error, then I read somewhere on these forums that I should try copying the contents of the USB flash drive EFI partition to my HDD EFI partition but this did not solve the problem. Now instead of the "no bootable devices" error I get blinking cursor in the top left of my screen.

Laptop specs:
CPU: i5-2410m
GPU: Intel HD3000
MOBO: P5WE0
BIOS version: unlocked v1.21 UEFI

In the picture where you can see "unknown device" that is the USB drives partition and not the HDD's where the Sierra is installed.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

You did not follow the laptop guide.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html
The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"

I updated my signature and followed your clover guide. I managed to successfully create the USB Installer but whenever I boot in to the clover menu and select to boot from "install_osx" I get an error which can be seen in the screenshot below:

Also I've attached the EFI/CLOVER folder of my current USB Installer. Thanks for helping me.

Your profile is missing screen resolution.

From where did you download macOS?
On what hardware did you create your USB installer?
