Nov 18, 2015 8:06 AM in response to doug3684by doug3684,I tried the gdisk again, now I'm getting "No Bootable Device, insert Installation disk..."
Also, both Bootcamps still show in Finder and Startup Disk but are absent when restarting whilst holding the Option button
and - the second Windows now shows up as "F" not "E" - does that means anything?
I'm wondering, are the problems on the OSX side or the Windows side? Would it be worth trying to go back in the Time Machine?

Nov 18, 2015 8:24 AM in response to doug3684by Loner T,Time Machine does not back up Windows. The drive letters can/will change. Which of the two Windows installations wants the Installation disk?
Can you post the output of sudo fdisk /dev/disk0 ?

Nov 18, 2015 8:49 AM in response to doug3684by Loner T,I am on the US East Coast. If you power cycle your Mac and hold the Alt/Option key, do you get two Windows choices? If yes, does either boot?

Nov 18, 2015 9:30 AM in response to doug3684by Loner T,Using the Fdisk, flag one of the partitions as bootable, mark the other as non boot and test? Switch the partitions and test again. Let us check which of the two will cooperate.

Nov 18, 2015 8:01 PM in response to doug3684by Loner T,You will need to use Gdisk. See the steps used to rebuild the MBR the first page. The Boot flag question can be either Y or N. You will need to use this to switch partition 4 and 5's boot ability.

Nov 18, 2015 8:39 PM in response to Loner Tby doug3684,With steps 8, 9, 10
I just tried N, Y, N and there's no change
Already tried N, N, Y
In any case I don't want Partition 4 to boot, I want 5
What if I remove Partition 4 in Disk Utility?
Partition 4 is just a fresh install of Windows XP, it has no files or Programs installed

Nov 19, 2015 9:42 AM in response to doug3684by Loner T,My concern with removing your new BC installation is the corresponding partitioning changes. Was the partition created using BCA to install Windows or manually?
