Hi, this discussion is a continuation of How to run Boot Camp on External Hard Drive? This discussion focuses on how to clone the C: disk in Bootcamp to a second bootable drive.
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11), Windows 7
Let me do a bit of testing. 😉
HI loner
good am, I am back on line, Steve
You will have to be my eyes and ears and hands. 😉
Eject LILY. Connect LILY2. Try to Boot in Windows Safe Mode. If you can, Repair the BCD using bootrec.exe /rebuildBCD and test if LILY2 will boot normally.
LLoner, just tried, but it will not boot!! Same screen as always: status 0xc00000000e boot selection failed because device not accessible
BBut I told you that when I boot up from the Macrium refect rescue media, o heteros to a gui that prompts me to repair the boot.
The iPhone slipped into portuguese, again, when I boot up from Macrium reflect windows PE rescue, there is a GUI that prompts me to repair boot.
Please try to Repair LILY2. It is a clone, so it can be recreated.
OK, pls stand by, I may have questions about the choices. Thx
OK in there now. In the right upper corner of the GUI i hit "fix windows boot problems".
Then it asks me what disk to boot from. The choices are the LILY clone or APPLE SSD.... and likely refers to some part of the fusion drive, the latter is checked by default. thx. Should I check LILY and go from there?
I assume this is LILY2 and LILY (original) is physically disconnected. If yes, use it.
Yes it is, going ahead.
No there is a new screen with four checkboxes:
1 Reset the boot disk iD
2. Replace the MBR
3 Replace partition sector boot
4. Rebuild the BCD and BOOT.INI files.
All of those are checked by default. Uncheck one or the other, or go ahead with all 4 boxes checked? Thx
All four need to be checked.
okay, going ahead
Negative, does not boot.
The source still works though. I guess the problem eludes me.
Is there a way to to a fresh install of windows on the second ext ssd without messing up the BOOTCAMP config that's working now?
If you are in Bay Area, I could drop by, or perhaps you can refer me?
