Cathal.

So I mounted the EFI partition and had a look around, The Microsoft directory exists and so does the BCD file under :

/Volumes/EFI/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/BCD

I booted back into the Windows USB, but looking at diskpart, it doesn't see any volumes apart from the BOOTCAMP partition and itself on the USB stick.

Surely it would need to see or mount the EFI partition if it was to edit those files ?

I may be completely wrong though, thanks again for your help thus far.

I remember being at this point a day or two ago, but gave up as I could not see the EFI volume, so could not select it to assign it a drive letter. I assumed it was something Apple specific, so gave up on that idea and looked elsewhere.

Using diskpart I select Disk 0, and list volumes.

I get just 2, a 73 GB volume (BOOTCAMP), and a ~8GB one for the USB Stick.

If I list partitions I see a partition 200mb (EFI), a 139GB one (OSX), 619MB one(Apple recovery I assume), and Bootcamp.

I tried to assign the partition a drive letter, but it tells me I can only assign a letter to a volume. I didn't think it would work but no harm in trying

Any ideas ?

Thanks again.

EDIT:

Looking at the 'HELP ASSIGN' command in disk part it says that you should always be able to assign a drive letter to an ESP partition. That's odd.

Ok, so I tried to assign a letter to EFI for a while before trying the other method,

I renamed the BCD on my USB stick to BCD.bak and ran the following command from the USB stick:

bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-gb /s d: /f ALL      //assigning C:\windows os to the BCD on D: which is the usb stick

It told me that the operation completed successfully.

I booted back into osx, remounted the EFI, copied the new BCD to it and put BCD.bak back the way it was.

Booting into windows, i now get a different error code : 0xc0000225

The file \Windows\system32\winload.efi is missing or contains errors

I really thought it would boot up.

The winload.efi file appears to be present.

Any further ideas ?

Thanks again.

I set the directory to C: and ran

sfc.exe /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ offwindir=C:\Windows

Did not find any integrity violations, so it seems ok, probably an issue with the BCD I created and passed across then?

Maybe if I could assign a letter to the EFI it would work, but I just cant seem to be able to do it.

Thanks for replying through this, you have a lot of patience

Hi Loner T,

Sorry about my late response,

So I have been playing around with EasyBCD with no luck. I decided to go a bit more in depth with bcdedit.

The current config for the BCD on the machine is :

Windows Boot Manager

--------------------

identifier              {bootmgr}

device                  unknown

path                    \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

description             Windows Boot Manager

locale                  en-gb

inherit                 {globalsettings}

default                 {default}

resumeobject            {27b79d36-afd4-11e5-8928-b9e0101f7078}

displayorder            {default}

toolsdisplayorder       {memdiag}

timeout                 30

 

 

Windows Boot Loader

-------------------

identifier              {default}

device                  unknown

path                    \windows\system32\winload.efi

description             Windows 10

locale                  en-gb

inherit                 {bootloadersettings}

isolatedcontext         Yes

allowedinmemorysettings 0x15000075

osdevice                unknown

systemroot              \windows

resumeobject            {27b79d36-afd4-11e5-8928-b9e0101f7078}

nx                      OptIn

bootmenupolicy          Standard

I notice there are 3 values with 'unknown'

Boot Manager device, Boot Loader device, and Boot Loader osdevice.

I have tried changing these values to :

Windows Boot Manager

--------------------

device                  boot

 

Windows Boot Loader

-------------------

device                  partition=C:

osdevice                partition=C:

 

(Removed other values to shorten post)

boot, partition=C:, and partition=C:

I have also tried using all 'boot', and all 'partition=C:'

The error is always the same. I know that I am editing the correct BCD as if I disable Metro bootloader in EasyBCD, the error is displayed in the Legacy Bootloader.

I assume that this is where my issue is, as far as i can tell the bootloader is looking for winload.efi in the EFI partition, not in the BOOTCAMP partition.

This is just what I can gather. Do you by any chance have a BCD file from a booting PC of similar congifuration that i could use to compare with my machine or know where i could find one ?

Or do you have any further ideas? ... I'm starting to loose hope

Thanks again,

Cathal.

Thank you for that. I look forward to seeing it. I re-enabled the Metro bootloader afterwards, it was just a test to ensure that editing my BCD actually was having an effect, and I wasn't editing some other file.

I still find it curious that I cannot mount the EFI partition in diskpart. It only shows the BOOTCAMP volume, even though it reports the disk itself as being full.

I double checked to make sure the EFI partition is in FAT32 and not some other format. Why isn't the volume showing in diskpart?

Maybe there is a partition table issue?

Surely if we can manage to mount the EFI partition the fix to this should be simple?

EDIT :

The 'original' BCD I showed above Is the one I created using rebuild BCD when booted from the USB stick and copied across as detailed above, I stupidly don't have a copy of the actual original.

I got the idea to replace the values from 'unknown' to 'boot' and 'partition=C:' from both information I found online and from referencing the BCD on my main workstation pc, however that PC does not use EFI boot.
