Hi everyone,
I have successfully installed Sierra on my HDD, everything is working fine, Ethernet, Audio, Video, no problems (except for Siri, i Message and FaceTime). The thing is that, even if I have clover installed on my HDD, Sierra won't boot without the USB.

This is my drive situation, I have 2 main drives, I'm using WDC for Windows, and the Hitachi, one for Backing Up Windows/Mac Files, and the other one for OSX. I have made researches about this issue and I found that is pretty common, yet I haven't found anything that could resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance.

You should try MultiBeast and make sure you've selected the UEFI option. If MultiBeast fails, try this:

If there is no clover, go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/?source=directory. Then download, then unzip it, and run the .pkg file. Choose your options (on disk selection screen, look for customize.) Later, mount the EFI partition (with EFI mounter v3, look in disk utility for which disk to pick, EFI mounter is in https://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/efi-mounter-v3.280/. Now look for config.plist (you may have to dig around the EFI folder). Get clover configurator (https://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/clover-configurator.328/) and drag the config.plist to the desktop. Right click and go to open with > clover configurator. Select the boot args you'd usually choose (CPUID is in CPU, also set the resolution (IN GUI) one thing higher. Get a theme (built in ones are ugly) at https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Theme-database. Go to the EFI folder and rename config.plist to config-backup.plist. (In case something goes wrong...) Save the config.plist from clover configurator onto the desktop, and drag the config.plist (from desktop) to the EFI folder.

Now, simply restart! (Let me know if it works!)

Somehow, installing that Linux distro in Sierra into my USB worked instead of installing it on Windows, it keep getting stuck back in Windows 10 while I tried to mount it in the USB. Anyways the first tutorial worked like a charm, thanks anyways even though I knew that guide already :p
