    Hi. thanks for the great tutorial.. I am having problem dual booting Win7 with Yosemite. Both OS installed in two separate SSD. Yosemite boot fine with Clover, while I can’t boot the windows from Clover.
    Any specific tips? should i use the easybcd?

    Thanks

    How did you formatted drive as GPT or MBR , what efi driver you have in clover HFSplus.efi and Ntfs.efi required for drives proper detection and you have to choose drive which contains bootloader files for MBR look for System Reserved partition and for GPT efi partition
    Good luck

    Use HFSPlus.efi or ntfs.efi in clover driver then now you have to manually add entries first check hows your windows is installed using MBR Partitioned ?? If yes then you have to choose system reserved partition while in clover menu to boot it to windows

    Make a GPT UEFI usb using rufus or dvd

    1.first installed mac then install clover bootloader
    2.install windows using clover or directly from bios
    If clover is not present then again install it to EFI

    Choose clover to install UEFI settings

    You can also use easy uefi tool which will add your clover entry to bios

    Now you have to select what you want :-
    1. Directly choose mac or windows from bios
    2. Choose clover to boot mac or windows

    Note : make sure you have full GPT Drive with efi partition to have dual boot it ..

    Hi a good guide. Just to clarify if the disk has to be MBR or GPT? I can only use legacy on the machine i’m trying to install windows 7 and Yosemite.
