Windows 10 "Reset This PC" boots using Option, but not using Startup Disk

Hi,

I clean installed my MacBook Pro 15 Retina (Late 2013) with El Capitan. I then attempted a BootCamp install of Windows 10. Everything worked fine. I can boot into Windows and Mac easily, and using the "Startup Disk" option in El Capitan works to boot into Windows.


I then ran "Reset This PC" from Windows (due to activation issues... now resolved). After doing this, I can still boot into Windows using the Option key (choose Windows from the 2 choices), but if I set Startup Disk from Mac OS, I get:

NO BOOTABLE DEVICE - INSERT BOOT DISC AND PRESS ANY KEY


Please help! I really wish I could remotely switch between Windows and Mac OS, but I can't b/c using Startup Disk kills the boot to Windows.


Thanks in advance!

Noah

Do you get an error message in OS X when you click on Restart in Startup Disk after selecting Bootcamp? Check the console logs before and after. I expect to see an EFI error.


Since the EFI partition is now being used as MSR, under the Microsoft directory in EFI partition (usually disk0s1), there should be Boot logs that you can check.

Hi Loner,


In Startup Disk when I switch to BOOTCAMP, I just get CGContext... errors of invalid context 0x0. Doesn't look related to the disk, just some display widget issue. No errors about bless or efi.


How do I mount disk0s1 in Mac. Should I check under Windows in the C:\BOOT folder?


An interesting point: I can set Windows to boot permanently from the Option menu. When I do that, bless -info gives an error about being invalid. But that works to keep windows booting up. Still can't switch between Mac and Windows, but at least I can reboot from Windows without any problems.
