Before getting to any confusion, I will call the white EFI Drive EFI 1 and another one EFI 2.

Ok Now open the EFI Drive and copy all the three items and move to the EFI 2 and delete that, instead of them paste these ones which you copied from EFI 1.

Once you have configured the bootloader, it is time to restart your system.

Well, sometimes it may happen that it may not work for configuring the bootloader then that I recommend you to Install the Multibeast and configure all the Kext. Without the Multibeast you can also try the Clover bootloader too.

For Sound Problem you have to install the Voodoohda.

Here is the other Kexts where you need to Install them in case the clover configurator doesn’t work.
