Administrators Hervé Posted July 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2019 What version of Clover do you try to install and how & where? What options did you select? Please specify details. Jake listed the necessary steps in his generic guide available here. Did you follow it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted August 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 3, 2019 That's wrong! Latitude E6x20 cannot be booted with BIOS set to UEFI mode, only Legacy mode. Set it back to Legacy if it's set to UEFI mode and, again, install Clover with the settings specified in JakeLo generic guide. Please follow the instructions provided in our guides, they're detailed for good reasons... If necessary, I've also listed the Clover settings I used for legacy mode in my Vostro200 Mojave guide and they should work for your E6420. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlp Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Helo, Nothing, I have followed your instruction but nothing I received always the same message "The installation failed" my bios already was setting with legacy mode. I do not know what I can do to resolve this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted August 5, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 5, 2019 Did you format the drive to GUID / Journal Extended prior to the installation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlp Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hello, The problem it is in the hard disk. Today I have mounted un old hard disk (80 gb) in the laptop, I have installed again the OS with the same procedure and it boot without USB installer. I don't know what is the cause. Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 6, 2019 Try a low level format with HDDGuru's tool from Windows (or a PC with Windows) to completely wipe out all the partitions and be able to start 100% afresh with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlp Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hello, Solved, Now I have my Dell Latitude e6420 i5 HD3000 that boot without USB installer. After I have formatted my hard disk with HDD Guru's tool from Windows as you have recommended, I had the same problem as before, when I try to install Clover in the Hard Disk I receive the message "The installation failed" and it boot only with USB installer, as before. I have resolved with an USB-SATA cable, I have removed the hard disk to the laptop and I have connected the Hard Disk to the usb of my iMac with an USB-SATA cable and I have installed Clover in the hard disk without error and now it boot without USB installer. Thank you for your help and your patience to resolved this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
