Bootcamp (Win10) didn't start after el Cap. update

Hi Loner,

I have the same problem after updating to capitan :-(.

It's then same sh..t as when I updated to Yosemite before.

Bootcamp is still there but when I choose it Bootsector is not found.

The el Capitan update was also not successful in the first try. I saw the symbol for no OS found (Circle like stop sign).

Then I installed it again under Service Console (CMD+R) and it worked then but bootcamp i still broken.

I can see the partition and open Files from MacOS but boot sector is not found.

Is this because I am already MacOs running?

THANK YOU LONER !!!🙂😁


You are my hero ... again!!!


Windows 10 working fine loke before. All I have to do is to restore my timemachine backup for the mac partition to get my data back. Can you tell me if this could cause problems with el capitan because timemachine is made from yosemite?

Bootcamp (Win10) didn't start after el Cap. update
