Hello everyone,
First of all, I would love to congratulate the community and express how grateful I am to the great job you all are doing here. I have been testing with these guides and advices in order to install Mac OS X in my computer and this page and forum are amazing.
I had no major problems when I was testing to install Yosemite using chimera as a boot loader. Now that things are changing with El Capitan and Clover, I am beginning to have some "stones in the road", but I am figuring out reasons and I have some ideas about my actual problem. My computer is:
- DualCore Intel Core i3-540, 3077 MHz (23 x 134)
- Asus P7H55-M Pro (2 PCI, 1 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR3 DIMM, Audio, Video, Gigabit LAN)
- Intel Ibex Peak H55, Intel Ironlake
- AMD Radeon HD 5450 (1 GB)
- AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x68F9)
- Realtek ALC892 @ Intel Ibex Peak PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [B-3]
I am almost sure that my motherboard does not support UEFI, so I am installing El Capitan in Legacy mode in a Hard Drive where I used to have Yosemite installed with chimera as a boot loader. That Hard Drive was formatted by Disk Utility with GUID Partition (Not MBR) and has the first partition dedicated to Mac OS X and the second one to Windows 10.
So, what I did basically is to erase the first partition and install El Capitan. After reboot, I followed the post installation guide, and I got everything working but one thing: I need to boot with the USB connected in order to have Clover. If I boot without it, my computer will go directly to my Windows system.
I have checked and everything seems to be fine in my Clover inside my Mac OS partition. When I manually select my Mac system, Clover loads my config file, and the files inside that "EFI partition" seem to be right. So I am guessing it has to be with the fact that the Hard Drive is formatted as "GUI" instead of "MBR".
Any advice about this issue?
Thank you so much. Kind regards.
