Bootcamp: "Bootmgr is missing" at boot after OSX 10.13 High Sierra upgrade
Hi,
Following the upgrade to OSX 10.13 High Sierra on a mid 2012 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro containing a Bootcamp partition with a Windows 7 Ultimate on it, it became impossible to boot natively under Windows.
Windows complains saying: Bootmgr is missing.
The files from the BOOTCAMP Volume are still accessible from OSX
I tried to boot into the Windows 7 installation disk from a USB key to "Repair Startup Problems"
I tried to fix the boot record using these commands
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
I did all this both natively or from a VMWare Fusion Bootcamp VM
But none of this restores the boot record properly
Here is the output of
