Oct 20, 2015 7:32 PM in response to Paul_mac_liveby Loner T,For item #3, unless you have the $WinPEDriver$ directory on the NTFS partition, you will be using generic drivers. The larger problem is Tuxera. Can you uninstall Tuxera temporarily and check if the Bootcamp volume shows up in System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Oct 21, 2015 2:34 AM in response to Loner Tby Paul_mac_live,goodmorning,
I did not have the specified directory on there, so that didn't help with the problem.
I had paragon and tuxera on my mac, uninstalled them both, before and after the disk wasn't and isn't show on sys pref/startup disk only the OSX.

Oct 21, 2015 5:14 AM in response to Paul_mac_liveby Loner T,1. Does the disk show up when you press Alt/Option?
2. Tuxera and Paragon are notorious for leaving modified KEXTs behind even after a removal/uninstall. Did the disk show up in Startup Disk with either of these installed?
3. If you can run BCA, use option 1 and 2, and create a USB.
4. Erase the current NTFS partition to be FAT32.
5. Copy the contents of the USB to the FAT Partition, make it bootable using Gdisk and let us test booting.

Oct 23, 2015 2:31 PM in response to Loner Tby Paul_mac_live,hey loner,
My mac self destructed. After booting I got the stop sign, it wouldn't boot. So I have a fresh install of yosemite and am back at square one.
How do i proceed?

Oct 23, 2015 2:51 PM in response to Paul_mac_liveby Loner T,There is a method to resurrect Macs with such issues, unless the hardware has completely failed. We start over.

Oct 23, 2015 3:35 PM in response to Loner Tby Paul_mac_live,Where do i begin? Can you lay out the steps again for me? or just do the ones above?

Oct 23, 2015 3:44 PM in response to Paul_mac_liveby Loner T,1. Create the USB installer using BCA (use the first two options - USB Install and Download Software).
2. Create a partition and format it as FAT and put the contents of the USB in this partition.
3. Bless it and try to boot from it.

Oct 23, 2015 3:46 PM in response to Loner Tby Paul_mac_live,do i create the partition with g disk or with the disk utilitity and do I have to make it a bootable disc with gidsk?
-
Oct 23, 2015 3:48 PM in response to Paul_mac_liveby Loner T,Use DU to create the FAT partition. Use Gdisk (or Fdisk) to mark the partition bootable.
