Chameleon wont boot windows, and repair utility isnt detecting an error

Hey all, 

First off, I just want to apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I have been searching and searching and cannot find a post relevant enough to get through my issue.

Specs:

Mac OS 10.10.3

CPU: Intel I5 4570S 

Mobo: Gigabyte Z87-HD3

GFX: nVidia GTX660

SSD: Kingston 64gb

HDD: WD 1tb

 

I installed Yosemite via #####, partitioning my SSD to Journaled/FAT32. Windows had problems due to the hybrid format diskutil assigned to my windows partition, so I fixed that in terminal and windows accepted the format for installation. Once windows was installed and running, I rebooted into OSx and installed Chameleon bootloader/##### DDST-free config. When I went to reboot back into windows, I got error 0xc000000e. I then tried to repair windows, to no avail, so I activated the windows partition via terminal. That allowed me to enter repair, but repair did not detect any errors. At the moment I am stuck with a working Yosemite and a Windows OS that wont boot. Any ideas? Let me know if you need any additional info.  Thanks.

 

EDIT: Just remembered this forum doesn't look highly upon tonymacx86. I apologize. You can delete this post.

beware that the advice given on the tonymac forum is 99% completely wrong. Would be savvy to follow guides and methods from here before those tomatofaces lead you down an even more twisted garden path.... ;)

Hi,

 

Can you open up a terminal window and type: 

diskutil list

Then press: alt+shift+4, then space, click on the terminal window. 

Attach the screenshot on your desktop here. 

 

My guess is that the tools you have used, changed some flags on your startup partitions, perhaps even deleted some files. 

 

About Windows, what version?

I would take the SSD out of the system.

Go into the bios and set it to boot from the Windows 7 HDD (Disk 1 in your case) 

Then boot from the DVD and use the repair options. 

 

Repairs should be made at that point and Windows should boot again. After that you can insert the SSD again, let the system boot from it so Chameleon will start, and you should be able to dual boot. 

 

If this failes, you could mount the EFI partitions as an example in terminal: 

mkdir /Volumes/EFI
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/EFI

Then navigate to the EFI drive to see what is stored on it, and adjust it if needed. But first try the above sollution.
