Install grub4dos to the MBR of the drive (I recommend using the RMPrepUSB - Install grub4dos button) Tip: select the No User Prompts tick box first!.

For best compatability, the partition geometry should be 255 heads x 63 sectors (use RMPrepUSB to partition it, if you are not sure what this means!).

The FAT32 partition should be marked as Active (bootable) - not essential, but it helps 'bootability' on a wider variety of systems.

If you wish you can have further Primary partitions (FAT32 or different).

You need a USB drive that contains a FAT32 partition as the first partition (in the partition table).

CLOVERIA32.EFI and the \EFI\CLOVER\drivers32 folder are only used when booting on a 32-bit system.Įssential these files, as a minimum, are present: In the \EFI\CLOVER folder should be CLOVERX64.efi (used for 64-bit MBR booting) and other files and folders. You should now have a C:\temp\Clover\USB folder containing one \EFI\CLOVER folder. efi files later so that it boots to the payload OS rather than booting to Clover. Delete any files in the \EFI\BOOT folder - these will boot to Clover from a UEFI boot and we will replace these files with our payload. Check the 'Hide' entries in \EFI\CLOVER\ist - ensure BOOTX64.EFI is not there (if so delete that line from the file or add XXX in front of it)ġ1. For NTFS support, ensure that the ntfs.efi file is in the \EFI\CLOVER\drivers64 folder (and drivers32 if for 32-bit systems).ġ0. Download and add the file PBR.BIN to the USB folder (from here).ĩ. IMPORTANT: If you have a file called \boot then delete it, as it will prevent you from having a folder called \BOOT which is required by Windows.Ĩ. These boot files can be downloaded from here. Clover can also use a selection of boot files, these are boot2, boot3, boot6, boot7 and boot8 (\boot is the default file - but we won't be using this).Īlso we need a special modified PBR boot file called \Clover\boot1F32ALT7.

If present, delete the large 3MB Russian PDF in the USB\EFI\CLOVER\doc folder (unless you speak Russian and find it useful!).Delete from the USB folder the USB\ EFI\BOOT folder (the Clover \EFI\BOOT\xxx.efi files must NOT be present - these will cause a UEFI boot to boot back to Clover again!).Delete from the USB folder the USB\ usr, USB \Library and folders (if present).Make a copy of the orig folder and call it USB - i.e.You should now have a folder structure like this (ones in red not required):.Unzip it and then unzip the Clover2k-xxxx-X64.iso file to your C:\temp\Clover\orig folder.

Alternatively, download a bootable Clover ISO from here - e.g.Tip: Press 7 immediately after it starts to boot to Clover if you have problems booting. You can use this flash drive immediately (on a real system not under QEMU) for testing.Then copy the files from the USB drive to a folder on your system's hard disk - e.g. I recommend you download BootDiskUtility and use it to install Clover onto a spare USB Flash drive.

It contains boot1F32ALT7 and PBR.BIN files and a modified ist file to show boot圆4.efi entries plus the ntfs.efi driver in the drivers64 folder - or you can make your own version as follows.

I will assume we are only interested in 64-bit booting (the \EFI\CLOVER\BOOTIA32.EFI file and drivers32 folder is required for 32-bit UEFI).Ī ready-made download put together by me is here.

Clover will only be able to access USB drives that are connected to a USB 2.0 port (even though you may be able to boot to grub4dos from a USB 3.0 port).

The Master Boot Record (MBR) must contain grub4dos boot code.

To boot to syslinux, we can then use chainloader /PBR.BIN instead of chainloader +1.

The Partition Boot Record (PBR) will need to contain Clover boot code, therefore we need to backup the current PBR boot sector to PBR.BIN.

Note that Windows\WindowsPE\Windows Setup cannot access any partition, other than the first one, if the USB drive is a Removable-type flash drive. NTFS) after this first partition if you wish.

Most UEFI firmware will only boot from a FAT32 partition if it is the first one on the USB drive.

To have the capability of UEFI-booting directly to the Windows installer, the FAT32 partition needs to be the first one - if you always want to boot via Clover from MBR mode, you could put the Clover boot files on a different partition. You could use place the Clover files and PBR on a different FAT32 partition if you wish but you would need to modify the menu.lst file.

The UEFI boot files are on the FIRST PRIMARY FAT32 partition of your USB drive.
