Bootcamp only boots through Option key
Hi all,
I currently have a mid-2014 Macbook Pro 13, running Windows 8.1. The OSX partition has been moved to an external disk drive. Currently, there is only Windows 8.1 on the laptop.
Problem is that, recently after booting OSX from an external hard drive, my laptop could no longer boot into Windows properly. If I power on or reboot the machine, it will sit at a blank screen for 10-20 seconds, before showing this message:
NO BOOTABLE DEVICE - INSERT BOOT DISC AND PRESS ANY KEY
However, if I hold down the Option key at startup and select Windows, it would boot without issue.
- Windows 8.1 is installed as UEFI.
- The disk has the GPT partition style (It's probably not the hybrid MBR format BA creates, since I manually started the installation rather than have BA do it for me.
- The disk has a 300MB recovery partition, a 100MB EFI system partition, and then my Windows system partition.
Not sure what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
