![]() ![]() This tutorial is from the beginning to end – again – do it with your own risks – create a recovery disk before doing anything. It works quite well and it’s actually simple to set up. Clover bootloader is a great bootloader for UEFI booting, although the documentation is not very clear, I read and experiment with it until I found the solution for my UEFI laptop. I had a tutorial on Dual, Triple Booting on MBR (by pass the UEFI) on my Envy 4-1117nr Ivy Bridge HD4000. Most of the new Windows 8.x laptops these days have UEFI boot loader scheme on them, to dual boot Windows 8.x and Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.x (the current one is 10.9.4) in UEFI, we need Clover bootloader since the reliable and robust Chameleon only works in MBR and NOT GUID partition table like UEFI (EFI) in Windows 8.x. Someone asked me how to dual boot Windows laptops with UEFI boot scheme. Again – I’m not responsible for anything happens to your laptops or computer. Since we don’t erase or delete any partitions, everything should works as normal. Make sure to follow exactly what I did and make sure your recovery system is still working in case you need to get back to original Windows 8.x. This way can be used for any supported laptop using UEFI. NO re-installing Windows 8.1 or formatting hard drive. I installed a dual boot Windows 8.1 and Mavericks 10.9.4 on an original HP Envy 4-1115dx (touch screen) without modifying any original partitions from HP. If not, you will get the “Validation code error”.ĭual boot installation on HP Envy 4-1115dx touchsmart ultrabook Insert new produced Device->Properties dictionary which will include all your old properties.Make sure to run chameleon boot loader with NVRAM option to get the SystemId – then put it in the Clover ist for the iMessage and FaceTime to work.Disable all AddProperties and Arbitrary.Update you ist to switch off all injection including Graphics, Audio, LAN, USB.Use new clover-genconfig to produce your current ist.Now clover-genconfig is able to produce all your injection keys used at last successful boot including automatic properties when inject=YES. Some more manual work is needed to finish it. This way you get a nearly complete configuration file with the parameters used to successfully load the OS. If it doesn't load, repeat from step 2 until it starts Fix what you understand and leave the rest like it is. ![]() Browse all options and try to understand what is set and why.Load Clover's GUI and enter the Options menu (by pressing O).Install the minimal version, which only uses safe parameters.The following way of creating a configuration file is offered: Last but not least, do not set a value you do not understand! If you do not know what value a parameter needs, exclude it from the config file completely!ĭo not leave a parameter without a value. The configuration file (ist) must be put in the EFI/CLOVER folder. Clover is shipped with two variants of this file: a full-size version with all possible configuration options and a minimal version. It can be edited by simple text editors or by plist editors like PlistEdit. ![]() The configuration file is written in XML but it can be handy to view it as a text file. Nevertheless, an automatic unit is never perfect and this is why the user can permanently change several parameters in the configuration file ist or on the fly in the GUI. Clover will perform an automatic configuration based on the computer's hardware. ![]()
