And I cannot boot to Windows as the option doesn't come up in the bootloader.

Yes. What happened is that I was trying to upgrade my current SSD to a bigger one. So using Disk Utility, I restored the Mac partitions into new one.


Then I used a Partiion manmager to copy WIndows partition to the new SSD. That was successful and Mac shows the Windows partition fine.


Just that the bootmanager doesn't show it.


I've also tried Startup Repair using Windows Installation disk which did say that there are issues with startup and that it repaired it. However, Windows still doesn't come up as an option.

I tried that last night but instead I went with full install of fresh Windows (hoping to later overwrite it with partition from old HDD).

Moving Windows installations has licensing implications, and is not supported. BobRz's Winclone solution should work, some have run into issues though.

Somehow, I have only WIndows showing up in Boot Manager. 🙂

Can you post the output of commands in the first message of this thread so the current state can be analysed?
