#Clover boot loader legacy install#
That being said, I've tested my MBR formatted installer to install UEFI Windows 10 on all my legacy BIOS systems, a desktop GA-B75M-D3H with UEFI BIOS and also on my real Mac Mini - see pictures below. Also if you have UEFI BIOS, you don't really even need to install Clover onto the USB - just directly choose the UEFI boot option for the USB and it will load boot圆4.efi/bootmgfw.efi -> install UEFI Windows. Personally, I've never had the error 0xc0000005 with the installer USB made with an MBR partition layout.Ĭhoosing the "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" certainly works if your computer has native UEFI firmware but some systems with legacy BIOS eg my desktop GA-P55aUD3/Intel i5 750/ATI HD 5770 will refuse to boot from a GPT partitioned USB so I chose a FAT32 MBR to be compatible with more systems. I'm happy that you found a workaround to your problem, although by remaking the RUFUS installer again, your USB drive would have been repartitioned and reformatted, which was what I was recommending anyway in post#4. Ĭhameleon great and thanks for the feedback! Set your BIOS to boot first from USB -> when you see the flashing underscore, press to boot with Chameleon or to boot with Clover.

I recommend clean installing instead of letting Windows update perform an upgrade.
As the final step, don’t forget to install Clover on the hard drive.At the first reboot, boot to the USB again but at the Clover Main Menu, select “Boot Microsoft EFI boot menu from EFI”.Choose the “Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)” option and just select the Unallocated Space for the installation -> the correct partitions will be automatically set up.Follow the rest of the steps in this guide. At the Clover Main Menu, choose “Boot Microsoft EFI boot menu from your_USB_name” -> start the Windows 10 installer GUIĥ. Boot the computer with the Installer USB, pressing (or whatever your system’s BIOS boot selection key is) to choose the USB and then pressing the number key when you see Clover’s flashing underscoreĤ. It is recommended to temporarily disconnect all hard drives except the target hard drive when installing or updating Windows 10.ģ. This can be done in OSX using Disk Utility or in Windows with Disk Management/Diskpart.exe.Ģ. Create free space on the target hard drive for Windows 10. Put FakeSMC.kext and other kexts required in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.x (where x is your version of OSX)ġ. Put DSDT.aml in /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched Copy the ist, DSDT/SSDT.aml file(s) which are specific to your system into the Clover folder Note - you can also install legacy Clover onto the USB in Windows using the Bootice program - see post#23Ģ. Install Clover onto the USB drive (in OSX) with the “use alternative booting PBR” option ticked as shown below. Installing Legacy Clover (for legacy BIOS machines to boot the installer in UEFI mode)ġ.
