OS X Boot option missing

Hello,


I operate a 15" MBP2012 with a Bootcamp partition. It would appear, once Windows 8.1 was installed, the OSX boot option disappeared. Any thoughts???

1. If you partitioned or choose the incorrect partition, it is larger issue.

2. If you are unable to choose OSX to boot from,

a. If BC Drivers are installed correctly and you have Bootcamp option in Control Panel -> System, please see Boot Camp: Set the default operating system.

b. If BC drivers are not installed, you can power-cycle and hold the Alt/Option key and see if OSX is an option to select.

c. Try the following,
