![]() ![]() I’ve been searching the web for the better part of a year for a fix and it sounds like you hit the same exact problem I’m having. I don’t know why I didn’t see your post sooner. I wanted clarification on whether I should restore the WinClone backup first or I can restore the MacOS side then once booted there, restore the WinClone backup to the first partition set for BOOTCAMP.Īny help you can offer would be awesome. I plan on using your guide to partition the drive before I restore the MacOS side to the second partition. ![]() I just did some upgrades at the house and moved my old machine over to my wife’s office and am in the process of backing up my MacOS side from the old machine. However I had a question regarding your restore.Īfter you created you partition scheme, did you boot to an external drive to restore your WinClone image? Or did you restore your MacOS side first and then restore from there?ĭuring the restore, did you write the MBR through WinClone? I’m havign the same problem and am going to try your steps to correct the issue. ![]() I joined this forum just because I stumbled across your fix. Hope this tutorial will help other people. Shutdown and boot your computer holding key in order to choose BOOTCAMP. Verify that and asterisk is beside your BOOTCAMP partition and exit: > LIST VOLUME Reboot your computer and press key to choose Windows Tools USB key (named EFI boot).Ģnd screen, choose “Troubleshoot” option:Ī window opens where you can enter DOS command (sorry, french version):Ĭhoose your BOOTCAMP partition: > SELECT VOLUME 1 This is made using Windows Tools USB key ( download here). Then I restored my Winclone backup to BOOTCAMP partition.īut one more thing have to set in order to get Windows running. tanker10Tb will be the 2nd one defined as a Journalised HFS+ that takes the rest of the disk.BOOTCAMP will be the 1st partition defined as FAT32 and sized 96Gb.But it can differ depending on your disks configuration. Be careful to give the right disk number shown by diskutil list command. To get this Hybrid MBR/GUID disk, enter the following Terminal.app command: # sudo diskutil partitionDisk disk1 2 GPTFormat “MS-DOS FAT32” “BOOTCAMP” 96Gb JHFS+ “tanker10Tb” R *** Warning ***Ībove command will erase the whole content of your hard disk (no return back) and create 2 partitions. In fact it’s gone be the 2nd, due to Apple’s small EFI mandatory partition made to access the full 10Tb of the disk (see next Terminal.app command): # diskutil list The only way to do this, is to have BOOTCAMP in 1st place. So my BOOTCAMP partition must be in the first 2.2Tb of HD and one of the 4 1st partitions (MBR limits). Hopefully, there is a way to get both systems alive (MBR & GUID) and this trick was made by Apple as a “hybrid” MBR. So GUID partition scheme must be also set for this disk. Second, I have a large hard disk 10Tb and I want to use all the size (otherwise I will loose 10Tb - 2.2Tb = 7.8Tb of space, sounds bad). But if you have a Windows 10 MBR Winclone backup, you can’t restore it on a GUID disk, as some boot files may be missing (I guess symmetrically GUID can’t be restored on MBR disk). Windows 10 can use MBR as well as GUID disks (EFI = GUID). Notice that Windows 7 and 8 can only boot on MBR disks. MBR can only address 4 partitions in 2.2Tb of disk space. So the only way to get BOOTCAMP running is to use MBR mechanism. I’m quite lost!ģ: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMPę9.8 GB disk1s3 gpt -r -vv show disk1 I’m also unable to format my HD in MBR way and use partitions greater than 2Tb (previous HD partitioning was OK with MBR and a partition 5Tb sized, but maybe it was an Hybrid MBR…). I think the problem is that my Win10 Winclone backup is a BIOS one and I’m not able to change it to UEFI. Then I try to use bcdboot DOS commands under USB boot Win10 Tools. Windows starts but I get a INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE blue screen. I set back my BOOTCAMP Winclone restore EFI Bootable. It say’s that my saved Win10 is a BIOS one and that target BOOTCAMP partition is UEFI, so it’s not compatible. I was not able to restore my Win10 backup using USB boot Win10 Tools.
