Q: Bootcamp drive in startup disks but doesn't appear in startup options ?
Hello world,
I'm running a 2012 Mac Mini, Core i5 3210M with a brand new Crucial MX200 1To and another 1To on a ST1000LM014 (not a SSD).
I've installed El Capitan on the Crucial and a Bootcamp partition on the other drive.
I can use the Bootcamp partition in Parallel Desktop, I can see it in the Startup drives in pref pane, but can't boot on it and can't see it in startup options (pressing alt key after booting the Mac)
When I restart after selected it in startup disks in pref pane, I've an error : "no boot device available insert boot disk and press any key"
Here's the diskutil list results, if it helps :
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS 2 499.6 GB disk0s2

/dev/disk5 (external, physical):

Any solution to my problem ?
Thanks
