Installed the win 10 properly from clover , booted properly from clover, but can i make clover partition to my 2nd or 3nd HDD/SSD ? Or i clover must be all time attached on a Pendrive?
rEFInd.-- > this method can also work without usb drive?
im also trying the hyper-v method now, cuz this CLOVER - usb drive is making me nervous, i dont want to see all the time attached to my asus laptop..

Hi

works great.

once i select the hard drive with win 10 can i change the script to automatically boot it and bypass clover all together ?

if not what thigs in the script can i change to reduce boot up time ?

Thanks

Just have a look to post #90!

To reduce the boot-time you can change the timeout in the section

<key>Timeout</key>
<integer>3</integer>
 
 

Default is 5 sec.

Can someone tell me how to clone on windows 10 using clover ?

I have tried but every-time a reboot is required and i am stuck.

Is there a preferred program/method please

I have been working on this all week, I was about to spend $650 on a new motherboard, CPU and RAM. Thank you so much!

Hi Nyctophilia,
after spending days looking for a proper solution to achieve exactly what you did I stumbled across your solution.
Worked like a charm. And in addition to it I setup my D: drive as Clover boot drive hidden to the NVMe boot C: drive.

And to drive it a little further: is mirrored my previous HDD drive to the SSD - I used Macrium Reflect (free version) for that.

A million thanks - you made my day.

Unable to boot into a Windows 10 Installer USB from Clover.
Also, Clover unable to see my Macbook Air 2012 PCIE SATA SSD that has Linux installed.

My setup is using a recycled Macbook Air 2012 PCIE SATA SSD in a M.2 to PCIE adapter. It is not NVMe. I can see the drive from the Linux and Windows installer USBs, but the H61 Mobo will not allow booting to the disk after installation of the OS.

After exiting Clover, Duet loaded and saw the SSD and listed it as HDD1, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to boot into it. I selected it and continued, but it would not boot. Just a black screen. Even from the boot configuration screen, there is a boot from file option and I am able to browse the installed file system on the PCIe drive! But can't boot from there into it.

It seems obvious that the driver for loading my SATA PCIe drive from Clover or Duet are not present on the Clover USB.

I see everywhere about NVMe drives and clover and the magical NVMe DXE driver, but what about the older SATA PCIe drives? Surely their compatibilities were addressed before the NVMes started production.

Easiest way of making Clover PCIe NVMe boot loader for BIOS without NVMe support.
I had some trouble finding the Clover program and getting it to work. So here is a MUCH easier way of doing things. No need to find or download Clover or any drivers.
The Clover program and drivers are already on the attached file. Actually copied twice in the directory suggested and the root directory 2 times for the
NMVe and XHCI drivers. The ONLY file needed is the attached file and WinRAR if you don't already have it installed.

Quick version - unRAR the attached file to a blank USB drive and run.

More detailed version.
Start with a blank USB Flash drive 32M (yes Meg not Gig) or larger, 16M may work since the total files are 14.3M but I haven't tested a USB smaller than 32M.
If not empty then format the USB drive.
Extract the file Clover NVMe Loader.rar to the drive using WinRAR.
Power down and add the PCIe NVMe card or slot if needed.
Reboot and set the USB drive as the boot drive in BIOS.
It will show several drives if many are attached. It is easiest to unplug all hard drives except the boot drive.
If you leave other attached drives you may have to try different boot drives using the arrow key when Clover starts.
After that Clover will run using that same drive as boot, so never change it unless you needed.

It works great on my Asrock Z77 Pro 4 Motherboard with Samsung 960 EVO PCI NMVe for a year now ! 3200MB reads and about 1700MB writes.

Great stuff and thank you to everyone involved in this whole journey!

I have an Asus A88X-PRO and the wife got fed up with the noise coming from the HDD so i got permission to invest in a new hard drive .... so why not the 512GB Samsung NVMe 970 Pro SSD. I took out the HDD, the bulky HDD racking and connected the SSD via the appropriate adapter and then my journey began to finding a solution as to why my bios wouldn't see the drive and why the windows boot media could see it but wouldn't install to it.

Without finding an answer i began to price up buying a new motherboard, a new processor (my AMD FM2+ setup doesn't have a mobo available that is NVMe compatible or has an M2 port) and then the price of compatible RAM ... then i discovered this forum. I toyed with the thought of trying the modified BIOS method at the risk of destroying the mobo and then i discovered this thread!

I cant thank you guys enough! Although initially, using the link for the Clover, i couldn't find the NVMe files to copy over - i don't think they exist in the version of Clover that is currently at the link. Then Tony54's post came into play and i simply copied his attachment and followed his instruction. Now i'm booting to my SSD and enjoy a clean installation of Windows on it at fantastic speeds.

One thing that i am seeing during boot, just before the Clover magic happens, i get a message saying 'An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Press any key to restart'

When i press a key it boots into clover and then onto my SSD so its fine, i'm just trying to find a solution to bypass that initial message so when i turn on my computer it just boots through Clover without me needing to press a key in reaction to that message.

Does anyone else get this message too?

I've solved my own problem within a minute of writing the previous post! My boot sequence was USB device, DVD-Drive, UEFI USB device (same as the first USB but UEFI). By moving the UEFI version to the front of the boot sequence it goes straight into Clover without that message.

First of all, I have to thank you both to Nyctophilia and Fernando for the post regarding NVMe and UEFI.

I was stupid enough not check that NVMe was not supported in my laptop SVP1322C5E (Sony Vaio Pro 13) and I've bought an NVMe Samsung 970 Evo SSD to replace my original AHCI SSD Samsung XP941. My AMI firmware supports UEFI (Aptio V2.2) but AMI'a service ---I think for me, in Spain, it is located at Germany, isn't it?--- didn't flick an eye and leave in the mud.

I just wanted to install Windows 10 on SVP132 using the 970, and I needed to boot it on UEFI. I could "see" the 970 from the flash drive I used for installing Win 10, but I was not able to boot from the SSD drive until I learn this method (and others in Fernando's post) and I gained a little knowledge thanks to they unselfish advice.

So, undeservedly lucky as I was to come across with this post, I've followed the post and I can boot and use windows in the SSD I've bought thanks to you. Massive thank you.

my question now is: Could it be possible to use the SD card of my laptop to install Clover to boot in order to get rid of the USB, which protrudes a bit and occupies a USB bay?is

For what I read should you have an SDCard reader that is connected as a USB, very usual in desktops, I've read it might work. But my laptop SD card reader is connected by another interface to the laptop's motherboard. For starters, BDU utility doesn't allow this prima facie.

if yes, is there any information available. In case it is not possible I'd like to know why; and if the answer is not available but could be possible, I'd appreciate any advice about what I could do to implement it

@rikelmaker

Try making the SD-Card bootable (if possible), then restart the laptop and have a look in BIOS/UEFI, if the card is available for booting from.
If not, no chanche.

I can confirm the latest BDU does not install a Cloverstick with a NvmExpressDxe-64.efi at

\EFI\CLOVER\drivers-Off\drivers64\NvmExpressDxe-64.efi (as in original post)

but at

\EFI\CLOVER\drivers-Off\drivers64UEFI\NvmExpressDxe-64.efi

@Tony54: I downloaded your attachment several times, but my winrar says it's a corrupted file. Could you upload a new version or let us know why this happens? Thanks.

@phusg - maybe you needed rar5 compression extraction or something? Downloaded and extracted fine for me here, mirror in zip instead of rar - https://nofile.io/f/a0PVF7xDsnk/Tony54+C...NVMe+Loader.zip
