YaPaY Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Dear All, In the chemaeon boot menu I can see my other hdd which on windows 8 installed. When I select here I see Windows 8 boot error. If I want to boot up from Windows 8 everytime during BIOS POST Screen select first boot device and boot from this hdd. This way works but every time to make hdd selection is a bit hard. Could you please help me to fix Win8 boot area? (or chemelaon) Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287261-macosxchaemeleon-corrupted-the-win8-mbr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldMeister Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi, Boot from the System Reserved partition when using Chameleon to boot, not directly from the Windows 8 partition. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287261-macosxchaemeleon-corrupted-the-win8-mbr/#findComment-1899354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaldMeister Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Windows 8 stores it's boot files on that partition. If you boot directly of the HDD, it will actually boot from that partition. For the cosmetics, you can name the partition in the org.chameleon.boot.plist, and hide the Windows partition. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287261-macosxchaemeleon-corrupted-the-win8-mbr/#findComment-1899524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
