Administrators Hervé Posted September 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2016 Revert/swap the disks boot order.Clover is obviously on your OS X disk, not on the Windows disk. So make sure that the boot order 1st points towards the disk that has OS X on it. Ain't that logical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandervos Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 And how would I do that? I wont let me do in the bios. I can not add a boot option noir set a boot order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted September 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2016 if both are internal drives pull them out and swap them. or add your clover folder to your windows EFI partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandervos Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 The main windows 7 drive, which I use the most, is a SSD. Physically swapping it with my HDD in my caddy would result in less write/read speed. So Id rather avoid that. Where is my efi partition located on windows 7?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted September 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2016 EFI should be in the same place as the osx disk. /EFI /dev/disk0s1 or disk1s1 depending on which is which. i am guessing windows drive EFI is 0s1 you can try this app http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/566-esp-mounter-pro/?st=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted September 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2016 I find it strange that you're unable to set boot order in BIOS; unless it's locked of course and you do not have the password... On my E6220/E6230/E6440 systems, I can set the disks boot order in BIOS. For instance, in my E6440, I have a regular 3.5" SATA HDD (with Windows) + an mSATA SSD (with multiple OS X Partitions + Enoch bootloader). In BIOS, I can set 1st boot device from the displayed list of media (SATA HDD, mSATA SSD, USB, CD/DVD, floppy). If I set 1st boot disk to 3.5" SATA HDD, I'll always boot Windows directly (because that's all the system sees) but if I set 1st boot disk to the mSATA SSD, then Enoch allows me to boot any of the installed OS X partitions or Windows from the SATA HDD, since it's listed too. Ok, this is all legacy mode, but... I can also manually overwrite this by pressing F12 at the BIOS POST logo to get a list of boot device to choose from. This is how people usually boot their USB installer (Press F12, select USB media). I'm surprised you cannot do the same with your E6430. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandervos Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 yes, very strange indeed. I had this since first installation. I couldnt add a boot option or set boot order. What even more weird is that it displays usb media (in the bios menu) which are already pulled out. Seems there is a bug with Clover. Quite a few people have mentioned it on the internet.

Administrators Hervé Posted September 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2016 You had initially listed this: Can't you remove the useless entries through the "Delete Boot Option" button any more? Can't you reset BIOS to default settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandervos Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 I have resetted the bios default settings. I was able to remove the multiple boot entries. Still it defaults into windows 7 and not in Clover, unless USB is plugged in with the OSX installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
