Another problem, please I upgrade from Maverick to Yosemite. Everything is fine except it is too much slow for working (mouse, every app) I search from this web site : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6629941?tstart=0 and I have tried to replace dock.app from Maverick to Yosemite; however, it is just a little bit better and I nearly give up to use Yosemite. It seems to me that the final solution is to clean install. But I don't know how to do "clean install" from here ( I use dual windows 8.1 boot with Maverick , clover install ) Anyone please help

I use easeus todo backup free edition and use "sector by sector" clone within windows. (no need to boot from CD/ USB drive)

Many thanks. Problem was solved. I use another software to clone the whole hard disk. Thanks anyway. Herve'

please help me how ? because I clone the whole disk (all partitions) or acronis doesn't recognize the osx partition ? Any software you suggest to clone the whole hard disk (all partitions) ?

any one, please help me I already got window 8.1 dual boot with Mavericks. I have tried to clone my hard disk many times but not success. I use acronis image 2016 use utilities clone disk from my hard drive (normal socket , SSD) to another hard drive (SSD) (USB). Then, the problem is every time I use the new drive boot from clover64efi, it will show only boot MS windows from EFI, no any menu of Maverick or recovery. (as picture I attached)

Can we use OSX Yosemite the most update version 10.10.5 ? Any one test this last version with this "Dell Inspiron 3x37-5x37-7x37 Clover Installation" ?

Many thanks, Jake Lo and I have to do nothing with configuration of dual boot, right ? I still can use dual boot with windows 8.1 when finished ?

I still can boot from USB clover but I cannot boot clover EFI from HDD, please

pokenguyen , are you still there , please ? I migrate my HDD to SSD (partition by partition) Now I can boot to windows 8.1 but I cannot see OSX, please

Many thanks. Success!!. I appreciate your help a lot. I got a lot from you and this community Hope in some days, I can contribute back to this community. Again many thanks.

So you mean 1.I should keep both microsoft and apple, right 2.put /EFI/Clover/Cloverx64.efi top of boot option in BIOS 3.let it boot , we can choose boot to OSX or boot to windows ? Am I right ?

I have backup patched folder before. So I just copy them in new EFI partition but originally EFI partition has only two folders ? boot and clover ? ( I see in clover USB) Do I need to delete folder "microsoft" and folder "apple" ?

I have many partition here and microsoft inject something in EFI partition !! everything in EFI partition is gone (also with SMBIOS, serial number, patched) If the picture is not clear , please let me know. I can take another picture from my camera again ( I don't know how to capture screen)

I am not sure I understand your question. You mean boot from OSX partition without USB ? --> my answer is no (cannot boot from that) you mean boot from EFI partition without USB ? --> my answer is no (cannot boot from that) but if you mean boot from USB and see clover screen ? --> my answer is yes but if you mean boot from HDD (any parttion ?) and see clover screen --> my answer is no Sorry if I don't understand.

mount EFT partition again from clover configulator ? I guess

Yes!! I can boot from Clover USB then --> select boot from OSX partition. It works perfectly. So how should I set up dual boot in my case, please ?

again, after I boot directly from the OSX disk (F12 option in BIOS). It doesn't work !!

Please help me, I cannot boot from OSX after windows 8.1 installation I have done like these: 1. I have installed OSX with these guide from the very very good help of Pokenguyen. Finally it works perfectly when I make the partition, I make only in GUID format in every partition (NO FAT32, or FAT) 2. I install windows 8.1. In windows installer it cannot format partition I prepared for windows.(it said unrecognized format) So I have to delete that partition then make it new in windows installer. Windows installer said that it has to make another partition ( ??? windows boot manager ??) 3. I installed windows 8.1 as usual 4. I tried to go to bios F2 option and make the EFI clover file x64 to the top --> then windows boot manager ---> it doesn't work -> boot to windowns 8 anyway finally 5. I tried to go to F12 boot option and boot from EFI colver file x64 again --> it doesn't work --> boot to windows 8 again Please help me. I invest my time a lot for OSX and it's gone !! (or but I backup OSX with CCC in another hard drive already, Can I use it and how ? Thanks in advance

Hi pokenguyen, Can I just have one question, please ? I made three partitions (GUID table) , 100 GB for OSX (installed successfully), 100 GB for windows 8 (not installed yet), 800 GB for data outside operating system. The next step I would like to do is to install windows 8; however, when I boot from dvd, I don't know which partition is OSX, which partition is reserved for windows 8 because I made the partition equally for OSX and windows 8. So when windows installer ask me what partition will be formatted as NTFS, I have some hesitation. I am afraid that OSX will be formatted and everything I have done with you will be gone. I should have made the size of partition differently between OSX and windows --- So, my question is: Do you have any idea to suggest me to make sure I will install into the right partition ? (windows installer doesn't show the name of partition and size of partition is very similar)
