I've just finished building my new machine and have successfully managed to dual boot W8.1 & Yosemite. It was slightly concerning how smoothly it went, I'm a little paranoid...
Since I'm new to it, there are a few basic things I'm trying to do that I'm not quite sure of.
1. Configuring Clover So I've installed Clover to help dual boot. First launch showed some kind of error - I assumed it had destroyed my install. A bit of looking around and I found that if I disabled the LAN option in the DSDT settings, it would boot fine. I've also added a theme. Something I've noticed is that these settings aren't saved, I have to apply them each boot. I've downloaded the Clover Configurator, but it looks like you have to do everything from scratch. Since it's working quite well, I wanted to know if there's a file I can edit to change these two options. I'm anxious to mess with anything as I've read about it ruining people's builds.
2. Clover Keyboard Support Every other boot or so, Clover skips the initial 'loading theme' text and goes straight to the GUI. When this happens, the mouse/keyboard are unresponsive. A restart fixes it. Any ideas?
3. Drive Formatting I have an SSD for each OS and a few HDs for them to share. I've read that ExFat is the best bet since both OSs can read/write. However, it seems that you can't format internal/large drives for some reason? My other option is keeping it as NTFS and trying to find a write-plugin for OSX. What has everyone else done about sharing drives?
That's it for now. I'm really grateful for the support given so far from this sub, it's really incredible how much online support there is. When this setup is completely finished, it'll be a gamechanger for me.
Thanks!
