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

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. 

 

 

           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)
