Q: how to make Bootcamp partition bootable

hi,

after total frustration in moving my bootcamp partition under Snow leopard with winclone 2.2, I restored it with stellar drive clone. I used restore not cloning, is this OK. Any how couldn't boot with my Bootcamp partition after restart.

Is there something to do to repair my partition, or I have to do cloning instead

    I must add that cloning with Stellar drive clone didn't work either to make Bootcamp bootable

    Did you recreate the MBR after the partition was restored?

    Hi,

    sorry what do you mean by recreating the MBR ?

    btw, I get this again: gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0

    This is normal. Can you post the output of

     

    diskutil list

    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

    This is a FAT32 file system. Certain Windows versions will not boot from such a file system.

     

    The following code makes the third MBR entry bootable. Please ignore the i386 MBR error, but not any other messages.

     

    sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0

    p

    setpid 3

    07

    flag 3

    p

    w

    y

     

    Reboot and Test.

    Please see the following example. I have not typed the last two commands. This is an example. You need to use 3 instead of 4.
