v.kouk Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hello , i was trying to make custom entries just to use the osx i use,so i decided to do that thing with custom entries . All was good with my yosemite upgradation from mavericks but now in my boot menu i got 1 windows icon in which i can't boot cause it says my pc need repair although when i remove the custom entries thing it boots fine . I did that EFI thing with microsoft boot also . And about osx it shows 1 partition that i boot from and 2 recovery partitions which is the same exactly. So what i am trying to fix is my windows + remove 1 useless partition . Thanks in advance /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Microsoft Basic Data 250.0 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_HFS Mac 249.2 GB disk0s3 4: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't, disable it and try again to see if that extra entry is still visible. This might just solve your problem without the need of custom entries. <key>Scan</key> <dict> <key>Legacy</key> <false/> </dict> If you still want the custom entries, tell me which loaders from the above list you need and I'll help you create the custom entries. Or you can also upload the config.plist with the custom entries so I can use those are reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.kouk Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 https://www.dropbox.com/s/6oylnxphs63xssv/config.plist i want to boot in osx + windows only . hidden be my osx recovery. thats all .. thanks a lot . really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 There aren't custom entries in that config but try this one and report back with a boot.log if there's any issue. config.plist.zip I used the windows UEFI entry for Windows 8.1 and "Mac" for Yosemite.

v.kouk Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Windows couldnt booted ,your pc need to get repaired . winload.efi missing or something though if i remove custom entries it work fine . Plus one more windows icon appeared. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8c9e50ljch9q3et/bootlog.log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So none of those windows entries worked but the rest did? How is the working Windows entry called when you delete the custom ones? Is it "Boot Windows from "? Does the working entry appear if you turn off legacy detection like I suggested before? Try it please. I wanna make sure it's not a legacy windows setup. And why do you have bootmgfw.efi and bootmgfw-orig.efi? I linked the new custom Windows entry to bootmgfw-orig.efi, but that may not be the right one, try changing the Path to bootmgfw.efi instead. Did you follow a multiboot tutorial or something? If you did, then post the link please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.kouk Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah it says boot windows from Its legacy install , cause when i delete all entries boots fine .. I followed poken's guide somehow although now what i want to do is install windows UEFI . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 There are guides on how to convert legacy boot to UEFI for Windows, just google them. So if you need to create a custom legacy entry then add it to GUI->Custom->Legacy instead and it should work. Try this one: config.legacy.zip Post a boot.log please if there's any issue.

v.kouk Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Do you have a link in which i convert legacy windows to uefi ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 No, but a quick google will point you to many guides, like this one: link. Read the comments too, people suggest doing a backup, then repartitioning and restoring to it as a "quicker" solution. I think the best way would be to repartition the disk as GPT and reinstall Windows altogether but the restore option might work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
