hi guys
the issue is you cannot see mac's efi partition in windows to undo something with the bootloader ( EFI )
Basically i mashed up my clover settings and couldnt undo this as i couldnt see the efi settings partition.
load CMD - Command Prompt
type " diskpart " - hit enter ( UAC kicks in hit yes )
then type " List disk " - hit enter
now i used from here to figure out my drive Mange from the right click of the computer icon ( UAC kicks in hit yes ) at this point, to know which drive/disk to select.
For me it's " Select Disk 3 " - hit enter
Then the command is " list partition " - hit enter
And then " select partition 1 " - hit enter
- you'd select partition 1 as with in the section your at, you need the " System " Partition thats what your after here in this type of instance - so depending on your setup 1 2 or 3 your after the "system" partition
Finally to actually have windows see this area you need to give it a drive letter i gave it M for Macintosh
the command is now " assign letter=M " - hit enter
now you type " exit " - hit enter
close all open CMD - command prompt windows and everything else too but leave windows running with no open explorer windows or anything.
load CMD - command prompt again BUT as admin ( UAC kicks in hit yes ) now finally type this into the window :
" taskkill /im explorer.exe /f " - hit enter
this kills explorer which is a must and to load explorer again finish off with this in the same window " explorer.exe ” your now able to open the EFI partition of Mac OS - remembering its FAT32 normally depending on your setup.
there are other ways to kill explorer but this is all in cmd windows so i thought id stick with that and its in that link where i found it - at the bottom.
if your going to copy any thing over 4GB to here ( to a 200mb partition - really ? ) - it will need to be split rar'ed jus fyi
