cloned bootcamp to ssd wont boot or even display

replacing HD with SSD on mid 2012 macbook pro with osx el capitan and windows 10. put ssd in external encosure and cloned successfully with CCC -- installed in macbook and put old HD in external drive. Then partitioned drive (1 TB) in half using disk utility and using winclone restored old bootcamp volume from now external drive to new formatted volume on SSD,


if i try to boot windows using startup disk option get no bootable device message. if i try to boot using option key at start-up only osx, recovery, and efi are listed no bootcamp windows drive appears (however all files were successfully copies to the bootcamp volume.


i'm stumped

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), cant boot cloned windows

You have El Capitan, so we need to disable SIP.


1. Boot into Local Recovery (Command+R).

2. Start Utilities -> Terminal.

3. Type csrutil disable in Terminal and press Enter/Return.

4. Type csrutil status.

5. Boot normally, and type csrutil status to confirm that all individual entries are still disabled.

You need to run this on disk0 (1TB SSD) not on disk1 (old 500GB HDD). Confirm with diskutil list and pick the correct disk. Modify the following step 1, as appropriate.

Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 10. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers. Please see thesample Q&A as an example. These steps can be repeated if you make a mistake before you get to Step 12, otherwise start from Step 1 for these steps. Step 6 has numbers which are typed with a space between the numbers. Please see the sample Q&A before you execute these steps.

  1. Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
  2. P (Print list of parts)
  3. R (Recover)
  4. O (print current Hybrid MBR)
  5. H (chooses Hybrid)
  6. Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2 3 4
  7. Y (Good for GRUB question)
  8. N (part 2 boot flag)
  9. N (part 3 boot flag)
  10. Y (part 4 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
  11. O (print current Hybrid MBR)
  12. W (Write the new MBR)
  13. Y (Yes! write the new MBR)
  14. Reboot


Here is sample Q&A for this section. Please notice the Press Enter/Return.


Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y


Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)

Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): Press Enter/Return

Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N


Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)

Enter an MBR hex code (default AB): Press Enter/Return

Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N


Creating entry for GPT partition #4 (MBR partition #4)

Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): Press Enter/Return

Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y


Test 1 - Does Bootcamp Volume show up in Finder?

Test 2 - Can you see files in Bootcamp Volume?

Test 3 - Can you select Bootcamp in System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Test 4 - If Test 3 is successful, select Bootcamp and Click Restart.

it keeps getting better --- on original disk (now external) i can get to csrutil using cmd R or actually booting the RD --- on my new disk cmd R sends me to internet recovery which does NOT have csrutil and booting into the RD leads to a shutdown - its clearly disfuctional and was created by CCC.


however after running it (CSRUTIL) from the external drive and then rebooting to the interior drive (ssd) when i execute: csrutil status i get


MacBook-Pro:~ bob$ csrutil status

System Integrity Protection status: enabled (Custom Configuration).


Configuration:

Apple Internal: disabled

Kext Signing: disabled

Filesystem Protections: disabled

Debugging Restrictions: disabled

DTrace Restrictions: disabled

NVRAM Protections: disabled


This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.

-- note that winclone only ran to completion only after running csrutil from the external disk when i did this.
