Clover is advance boot loader which is totally different from Chameleon and Chimera, in fact it can emulate the EFI portion present on real macs and boot the OS from there instead of using the regular legacy BIOS approach used by Chameleon and Chimera. This highly recommended for UEFI motherboard.
How to fix the boot0af error for your Hackintosh
One AWESOME feature of Clover is that iMessage, iCloud, FaceTime,the Mac App Store works along with Find My Mac,Back To My Mac and since Clover can use the EFI partition.It is very difficult to work Clover boot loader on MBR partition scheme because it actually need EFI partition but the EFI partition is only visible or created if our hard drive partition scheme is GUIDE partition scheme NOT THE MBR partition scheme
Apparently we can install Clover Boot loader on MBR partition scheme but it produce me error called Boot0af because i am using EFI bios not the UEFI bios and Clover Boot Loader is specially made for UEFI bios,because of my EFI bios i got this error.
For this error i have research a lot but there is no easy solution for MBR partition scheme,a plenty of guide need EFI partition which i don’t have because of my HDD is formatted in MBR partition scheme so i figure out the simplest method to solve this error without any GUID partition scheme
