this "worked" so far .... was able to BOOT to USB ....
nothing else ... trying on desk top ...
wooot





Extract BDU.




Installation:

1.
Insert the USB flash drive or SD-card into your machine.

2.
Open up BDU. (Boot Disk Utility)

2a.
Select your flash drive/harddisk. (For internal SATA-Devices, you need to go to Options > Configuration > Enable Fixed Disks > OK.)

2b.
Softly click on "Format Disk" and wait for the magic.

2c.
When it's done, check if you can see a 200MB Partition in your Windows Explorer with files in it. If that's not the case, BDU failed. (This happened to me sometimes, when fooling around with different bootloader/filesystem-settings. Just boot a linuxbased distribution with (g)parted and wipe all partitions + create a ntfs filesystem on it. Else Windows f%#&s around.)

3.
Access your Cloverstick via Explorer.

3a.
Copy \EFI\CLOVER\drivers-Off\drivers64\NvmExpressDxe-64.efi...

...Legacy BIOS: to \EFI\CLOVER\drivers64\
...UEFI: to \EFI\CLOVER\drivers64UEFI\
NOTE to Legacy BIOS users: In case that it won't work like this, copy it to both folders. I can't tell you if it will work like described. You can check if the driver is loaded properly by opening the Clover-EFI-Shell and just typing "drivers". It should be listed at the very end.

3b.
Additional:
Edit \EFI\CLOVER\config.plist with your favorite Editor.

Change the value:

Timeout
5

to something lower, like 1-3 seconds. Just change the number.

Example:

Timeout
3

4.
Reboot your machine and enter your BIOS/UEFI.

4a.
Legacy BIOS: Change your bootorder. Setup the freshly created stick as primary boot device.
UEFI: If possible, disable CSM or change the Storage Oprom to "UEFI only". Change your bootorder. Setup the freshly created stick as primary boot device.

4b.
Exit and Save Changes.

5.
Attach your Windowsinstallation media.

6.
Boot into the Clover-EFI bootloader.
