Hello everyone,

Recently I bought a Highpoint SSD7103 NVMe RAID card and see if it works with Clover Bootloader. It's a PCIe x16 hardware-RAID card with 4 NVMe drive slots. During testing, my workstation able to boot with Clover from any of the 4 NVMe drives by the default "NvmExpressDxe-64.efi" driver. However, if all 4 drives set as RAID0, Clover do not recognize it.
Does anyone here with successful experience? Or is there a way to transform Windows driver of the RAID card into Clover EFI driver? Many thanks!

Hi people,

This is only an hint about the actual downloaded version of CLOVER!

Be carefull, the folder-structure of the Clover-USB-Pendrive (or HDD) has been changed since Clover-version 4988!
The name of the NVMe EFI-file and the structure of the config.plist have been changed too.

The last version that works as descripted on post #1 of this guide is the 4972.

Please have a look to the pictures:
Pics 1-3 are from old structure until version 4972
pics 4-6 are new structure since version 4988














Another only cosmetic difference is that the font in the new version is much thinner than the old one.

Nevertheless it works!

hello everyone,

I've a h81m-e mob and i bought a kingspec nvme m.2 ssd (with adap. pci-e) on aliexpress. It's not possible to modding bios (however i've searched) so i use clover way. I followed all steps : i boot on my usb key with clover, i pick the w10 install efi on my other usb key bootable. I'm blocked to "press any key to boot...."impossible to go further and i don't know why....Do you have any ideas ? Thanks a lot :-)

What do you mean with "I'm blocked to <Press any key to boot>?
Did you follow the guide on 1st post and my hint on post #331?
Which Clover-version is installed on your Clover-USB?

The way I did it, is

1) Both USB-key connected (Clover and W10-Install)
2) Set Clover USB-Key as 1st boot-device in BIOS/UEFI
3) Start the computer and select the W10-Install USB-Key on boot-menu
4) Install W10

If all is correct (presumed your Clover-Key is generated in the right way!) your computer should boot already from Clover and the NVMe at the first reboot during the installation.

Hello friends,
I'm a newbie at Clover, recently I installed Windows 10 on my ASUS M4A79-DELUXE (a 790FX motherboard which doesn't support UEFI at all) using Clover and method provided in this topic.

The installation is smooth with no error, but after login I opened Task Manager and found that it cannot display correct memory information.

For example, I've installed 4 DDR2 memory, with 1100MHz and 8GB size in total. Those parameters will display in Task Manager when I install Windows 10 without Clover, but won't display when use Clover. Instedad, Task Manager only shows message like "8GB Unknown", other informations such as memory speed all gone.

I've searched on web about Clover, and found that seems Clover is designed for Hackintosh, and can control the message OS reconize, by edit config file inside it. Could somebody let me know about how to configure those parameters, or how to "disable those function I don't need", because the only thing I need is to load Windows using UEFI mode?

Thank you so much!

Hello guys, i successed to boot my m.2 nvme ssd in SuperMicro X9drl-3f Motherboard. Many thanks to @Nyctophilia @Thiersee @Fernando .

Edit:
Which version of Clover do you have in use?

@Fernando
Hi Dieter,

Maybe you have to delete all other boot options.

I don't think it is necessary, my boot-order ist CD-Rom, CD-Rom, Clover-USB, other HDD (if present).... and it works perfectly.

Hey,

First of all, thank you Fernando for the guide. So, about my problem. Right now I have a running system using an NVMe drive through clover but now I need to do a clean install. For the creation of the Windows 10 install media? Do you need it formatted as GPT UEFI(non CSM) in rufus for it to work with clover? or the MBR UEFI-CSM will also work? I've tried it already but for some reason it won't load my installation media(usb). I'm using an old x58 system btw so definitely no UEFI bios.

Thanks to the creator of this topic and everyone who has contributed.

I managed to get my nvme drive running windows initially, but after a few boots windows started to fail to load with windows recovery running occasionally on startup or just a brief loading circle followed by a black screen.

I believe its because of the way Clover handles the boot drives and the way my Bios responds to them. I noted some additional entries when I entered my bios. I have no previous experience with these things, so this is just a wild guess.

rEFInd is working for me however. For anyone else who has a similar issue, page 11 has the download you copy onto a usb and instructions.

I try to install a Crucial NVME 2.0 in an HP Z800 and i am not able to install Windows10. Il gettting this Error:



Has somebody an idea?

It's either bad installation/image or pendrive wasn't created with UEFI booting in mind.

There is also small possibility of Clover simply using wrong (or outdated) file, to boot installer from.
File in question should be in folder on pendrive (and/or EFI partition on hard drive if Windows was installed) :
"\EFI\boot\BOOTX64.EFI"

PS. UEFI booting is enabled ?
