partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume2 is a sperate partition with 200mb and include the first bcd i posted.
This is the EFI version.
the second bcd runs on partition 3 with the windows folder
This is the BIOS version, located on disk0s3
should i delete the 200 mb partition or mount the partition and remove the EFI folder?
If you remove the EFI folder, you will also cause issues with macOS. Is there a Microsoft directory in the EFI partition? This should be pointing to the EFI BCD. Keeping both BCDs is problematic. Your new EFI installation is further complicating the issue. You may be booting the EFI installation as the default now, instead of the BIOS installation.
Also, I suggest you backup all your important files.
You should have a BCD file in that directory. That should be your legacy BIOS BCD. Boot into Windows using an external installer and search for it using dir/s/p command and rebuild it.
See the description of the "/s" qualifier in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/bcdboot-command-line-options-techref-di.
Boot into macOS and check if you have a /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/Boot folder.
Can you post the output of
diskutil list
from the macOS side?

This is the correct BCD for BIOS and uses winload.exe. Is you EFI installation using the same partition as your BIOS one?
If you have backups of macOS and Windows files, I suggest you wipe the internal disk, re-install macOS, and then use BC Assistant to install a BIOS Windows 7/8.1 and restore your files. If you start cloning/restoring partitions, it will cause further issues.
What is the year/model of your Mac (do not post the serial number)?
Can you post the contents of the BCD that you see? Without seeing what is in the BCD, I would not recommend changing it.

Hi
i wipe the internal SSD and clone back from the external drive with CCC only the osx partition. It works great and i am now able to boot to osx again. Thanks
Now i will install windows over BC but i only can install win10 within the installer and no win7
any ideas?
Was any partitioning information modified? Can you see Windows files in macOS Finder?
W7 (and W10) should be a legacy BIOS installation on a 2010 MBP on C:\Boot. Can you check?
First of all thanks for your reply. I don't modify any partition . Yes i can can see all the files. The strange thing is that i have at the moment two Win10 installations. I manually installed a new one for testing what's wrong.
I can use bcdedit to switch between the new one and old one. The new is working the old not.
I have to restore the old installation because the new one is not working correctly for me because i am not able to use the mini displayport and also the audio device isn't working correctly.
Thanks for help.
Idea how to recover the old one.
