Q: Bootcamp windows taskbar application osx boot volume could not be found

Hi

 

I have a Mac Mini running Yosemite with a bootcamp partition running Windows 7.  The installs are cloned via Winclone.  All works well but there is a small bug which is annoying.  In windows 7 there is an icon in the taskbar for bootcamp.  Selecting this I should be able to restart into my OSX partition but after checking that what I want to do I get an error reading in Dutch Het Mac OSX opstartvolume kon niet worden gevonden (sorry my company are all dutch).  This translates as osx boot volume could not be found.  Is there any fix for this?

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), Bootcamp Windows 7 x86

    Hello:

     

    Turn off the Mac Mini, and turn on again, while keep pressing the Alt key until it appears a menu to choose which OS init. Choose boot with Yosemite, actualize Yosemite and restart again in windows 7 with the item "init disk" or "boot disk" (or similar -my OS X is in spanish-) under "system preferences". Maybe bootcamp in windows now works.

     

    Excuse me for my poor english.

    Hi thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't seem to work either.  It gives exactly the same result

    Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

     

    diskutil list

    diskutil cs list

    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

     

    The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.
