For this, you do NOT need to install Clover on your current HDD, it may mess up your current installation. First, it saves all the trouble of post-installation and second, you will be proceeding to install Yosemite once you have confirmed everything is working properly (and no dirty surprises). Before installing Yosemite/Clover, it's better to test Clover on currently installed Hackintosh. Feel free to skip it if it doesn't apply to you. Install OS X Yosemite.app downloaded and present in Applications Windows 8 ISO Latest Clover, Clover Configurator, Kext Wizard, Rufus, HFSPlus.efi and FakeSMC.kext (and other kexts based on your machine) Downloads: Clover Clover Configurator Kext Wizard Rufus HFSPlus.efi Test Clover Config (Optional): This is an optional part and only applies to people who already have a hackintosh running. A running OS X machine in real Mac or Hackintosh or as virtual OS. Prerequisites: A pendrive of 200MB (or more) for test Clover config (optional) Two pendrives of 8GB (or more), one for OS X and another for Windows installation media. In fact, this tutorial is actually combination of several of his posts (check Sources section). GPT/UEFI is the future -) Credits: A big thanks to fusion71au, he guided me and helped me to install UEFI Windows on my laptop and made it possible.

In addition, both the architecture and the drivers are CPU-independent, which opens the door to a wider variety of processors (including those using the ARM architecture, for example). Among these are cryptography, network authentication, support for extensions stored on non-volatile media, an integrated boot manager, and even a shell environment for running other EFI applications such as diagnostic utilities or flash updates. UEFI has room for more useful and usable features than could ever be crammed into the BIOS. UEFI enables better use of bigger hard drives. GPT disk provides greater reliability due to replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table. You can have upto 128 partitions (woot!) in GPT (as opposed ONLY 4 primary partitions in MBR/Hybrid MBR partition scheme) 5. GPT can support more than 2TB space (MBR cannot) 4. You may face all sorts of weird boot/bcd errors 3. Depending on BIOS, sometimes Clover doesn't play well in Non-UEFI. You can have multiple Recovery Partitions in GPT 2.
Isn't that amazing? This tutorial covers installation of both Yosemite and Windows 8. What you get? You have a machine with Legacy BIOS and at the end of tutorial, you would have Yosemite OS X and Windows 8.1, in UEFI mode, on a GPT partition with Clover as Bootloader. Technically this tutorial should work for Windows 7 and Mavericks also, but I haven't tried.

1 Install Windows 8 UEFI on Legacy BIOS with Clover (and Dual boot with Yosemite) In this tutorial I am going to explain how to install Windows 8 on a Legacy BIOS in UEFI mode (Yes! It's possible!!) using Clover and dual boot with Yosemite.
