Hello Christopher,
I am Dearly looking forward to fixing this problem, Ive attempted to read as much as i can on what you have explained so far
Just to clear it all up I have an Imac with 2x raid 0 ssd and a 2TB "data" disk obviously i have no dvd drive
My problem is Ive tried and tried to install bootcamp Via a Winclone image i took from my macbook 🙂
moved the image over to my IMAC installed it to a partition on the 2TB disk, as ive learned windows wont work with software raid...
I have attempted to follow your posts on the first page to attempt to get my windows to boot, but it still wont
How ever parallels can see it perfectly.
P.S I can not for the life of me notice that when i reboot some times that my 2TB disk appears as disk0 and some times disk1 i assume its normal. I some how think this is the problem?
"safe" partition is not required but it was just where i put my time machine backup.
Before i write this post this is what i did to the mbr..
==========
r <enter> go to the recovery & transformation menu
h <enter> create a new hybrid MBR
3 <enter> add partion 3 to the MBR
<enter> accept the default MBR hex code of 07
y <enter> set the bootable flag
n <enter> do not protect more partitions
o < enter> print (display) the MBR
