Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition

Question

Hi, I need to know how to lg back in to Windows from startup.  Installing Yosemite beta a while ago broke in and now I get the no bootable disk message.  This is my info:Catherines-MacBook-Pro-8:~ busteranime$ diskutil list/dev/disk0   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk0   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1   2:                  Apple_HFS Yosemite OSX            999.3 GB   disk0s2   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3/dev/disk1   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk1   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk1s1   2:                  Apple_HFS Mac HD                  749.3 GB   disk1s2   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk1s3   4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP                250.0 GB   disk1s4Catherines-MacBook-Pro-8:~ busteranime$ diskutil cs listNo CoreStorage logical volume groups foundCatherines-MacBook-Pro-8:~ busteranime$ sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0Password:gpt show: /dev/disk0: mediasize&#x3D;1000204886016; sectorsize&#x3D;512; blocks&#x3D;1953525168gpt show: /dev/disk0: PMBR at sector 0gpt show: /dev/disk0: Pri GPT at sector 1gpt show: /dev/disk0: Sec GPT at sector 1953525167       start        size  index  contents           0           1         PMBR           1           1         Pri GPT header           2          32         Pri GPT table          34           6                   40      409600      1  GPT part - C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B      409640  1951845952      2  GPT part - 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  1952255592     1269536      3  GPT part - 426F6F74-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  1953525128           7           1953525135          32         Sec GPT table  1953525167           1         Sec GPT headerCatherines-MacBook-Pro-8:~ busteranime$ sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1gpt show: /dev/disk1: mediasize&#x3D;1000204886016; sectorsize&#x3D;512; blocks&#x3D;1953525168gpt show: /dev/disk1: Suspicious MBR at sector 0gpt show: /dev/disk1: Pri GPT at sector 1gpt show: /dev/disk1: Sec GPT at sector 1953525167       start        size  index  contents           0           1         MBR           1           1         Pri GPT header           2          32         Pri GPT table          34           6                   40      409600      1  GPT part - C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B      409640  1463564696      2  GPT part - 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  1463974336     1269536      3  GPT part - 426F6F74-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  1465243872        1824           1465245696   488278016      4  GPT part - EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7  1953523712        1423           1953525135          32         Sec GPT table  1953525167           1         Sec GPT headerCatherines-MacBook-Pro-8:~ busteranime$ sudo fdisk /dev/disk0 Disk: /dev/disk0        geometry: 121601/255/63 [1953525168 sectors]Signature: 0xAA55         Starting       Ending #: id  cyl  hd sec -  cyl  hd sec [     start -       size]------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1: EE 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [         1 - 1953525167] &lt;Unknown ID&gt; 2: 00    0   0   0 -    0   0   0 [         0 -          0] unused       3: 00    0   0   0 -    0   0   0 [         0 -          0] unused       4: 00    0   0   0 -    0   0   0 [         0 -          0] unused      Catherines-MacBook-Pro-8:~ busteranime$ sudo fdisk /dev/disk1Disk: /dev/disk1        geometry: 121601/255/63 [1953525168 sectors]Signature: 0xAA55         Starting       Ending #: id  cyl  hd sec -  cyl  hd sec [     start -       size]------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1: EE 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [         1 -     409639] &lt;Unknown ID&gt; 2: AF 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [    409640 - 1463564696] HFS+         3: AB 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [1463974336 -    1269536] Darwin Boot *4: 07 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [1465245696 -  488278016] HPFS/QNX/AUXCatherines-MacBook-Pro-8:~ busteranime$ Thank you for the help, it is appreciated.

1. You have two disks in a MBP, which is atypical. Was the Optical drive removed to put an extra HDD?2. Your GPT/MBR look correct. What happens when you try to select Windows in System Preferences -&gt; Startup Disk -&gt; Bootcamp?3. Please post the output of sudo dd if&#x3D;/dev/rdisk1s4 count&#x3D;1 2&gt;/dev/null | hexdump -C .

1. If you power cycle the MBP and hold the Alt/Option key, what choices do you get?2. Has this 2-disk configuration worked in the past with OSX (prior to Yosemite) and Bootcamp?

justathome · Answer

Holding the option key shows all three operating systems, Mavericks, Yosemite and Windows.  I honestly don&#x27;t remember trying to log in to Bootcamp since installing the new drive, I always use VMWare Fusion.

Loner T · Answer

If Windows comes up using the Alt Key method, but VMware Fusion does not work, then1. either the .vmx file needs to be corrected for the device path, or,2. the VMware Fusion VM needs to be trashed (which will leave the underlying BC untouched) and a new import should get VMware working again.

justathome · Answer

No, Fusion works fine.  I can log in that way and do my Windows work at any time.  When I try to log in using Option at startup, then I get the no bootable device error and can&#x27;t log in that way.  I want to upgrade the Mavericks partition to Yosemite and trash the beta partition and turn it to storage, but I can&#x27;t back up the Bootcamp partition using Winclone in case I accidentally lose it in the upgrade.

Loner T · Answer

If Fusion works, then the Bootcamp volume is visible in Finder as well. It is a valid NTFS partition.If you right-click on the Bootcamp volume, what does it show? Here is an example.Do you have any third-party NTFS software, like Tuxera, Paragon or NTFS-3g?

justathome · Answer

I do have Tuxera, and it shows in Format as Windows NT File System (Tuxera NTFS).  Only other difference is sharing and permissions, I can read and write.

justathome · Answer

Sorry, duplicate.

Loner T · Answer

Can you disable Tuxera (or uninstall it temporarily) and try Bootcamp directly?

justathome · Answer

That didn&#x27;t work, disabled Tuxera on both OS&#x27;s.  May have to take the chance and upgrade anyway.  I was able to back the drive up from the VMWare partition.Unless you have any other ideas you want me to try.

Loner T · Answer

Can you check the Get Info on the Bootcamp volume? Does it still show Tuxera?

justathome · Answer

No, just shows NTFS now.

Loner T · Answer

Please take a look at http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/faq/#startup-disk. I suggest disabling Tuxera, leaving it disabled and rebooting to make sure it is disabled and then see if the Bootcamp volume shows up in Startup Disk.

justathome · Answer

It is in the Startup Disk, and I can even select it as the boot disk, but when restarting with Windows as the target disk, still get the no bootable device message.  Also still can&#x27;t back up with Winclone.
