I have a notebook Lenovo b570e and two (2!!) HDD inside.


I install a new hybrid HDD (8GB SSD + 1TB HDD) - (it's converted to GPT by standart with windows 8.1) to my notebook


and 2nd HDD (replace DVD) - MBR with Mac os x


 


I install and use Mavericks on 2nd MBR HDD (and it work)), but


If I want to boot into MAC i need to go to BIOS boot menu (F12) and select my 2nd HDD.


 


SO, I have some troubles


 


1. Installed on my 2nd HDD CHIMERA can't boot windows 8.1 (i have an error: file \boot\bcd, status: 0xc000000e, and info: the boot configuration data for U PC missing or contains errors)


2. I use EasyBCD to add Mavericks to windows boot (I use MacDrive and see my 2nd HDD MAC partition)* 


*I try (in easybcd) add MAC like EFI and like MBR - nothing happens..


he can't find way to boot:


way to bootloader: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr


&

way to bootloader: \NST\nst_mac.mbr

 


I can't boot windows 8.1 form chimera.


I cant boot Mac 10.9 from windows boot using easybcd


 


I read a much forums but can't find a answer!


 


Ah so, I dont know why, but my hybrid HDD 1TB (SSD+HDD) is converted to GPT (Acronis Disk Director can convert it to MBE, but I don't know, does it help me and DOES HYBRID HDD+SDD work properly with MBR)


 


I need HELP, THX

Have you tried using a dedicated boot loader on an external usb drive, or on its own drive? I reccomend using a small drive for your bootloader, plus a seperate drive for windows, plus a seperate drive for osx86. Example,

 

I'm still on Snow Leopard but this may change when I go Mavericks.

 

Drive 1-32gb ssd-Chameleon

Drive 2-120gb sata2-Snow Leopard

Drive 3-320gb sata2-Windows 7

 

You could try using Clover as a boot loader.
