Boot macOS from Hard disk that Windows installed on - Legacy Bios

[sghazagh]

Ok,
I had a back up of EFI folder of windows when I used "bcdboot" command to create the windows EFI folder.
By adding that to clover, I can see the item showing boot from EFI for windows.
However, that didn't work because windows partition needs to be active and now my clover FAT32 partition is active otherwise I cannot boot to clover!

If I figure out how can I boot Windows from Clover if Windows partition is not set as "Active", then I can say all are working fine!
Any idea?

Ho Ho Ho...

Needed to make a FAT32 partition active.
So I just made the Windows partition to use EFI mode by using this command. This creates the windows EFI folder in FAT32 partition/EFI folder which then Clover can detect and boot Windows:

bcdboot c:\windows /l en-us /s F: /f all

Note: My windows is installed in volume "C" and I used letter "F" to assign to created FAT32 partition I used to load Clover. So adjust the command as per your need.

Don't forget to rename bootmgfw.efi file inside EFI folder to bootmgfw-orig.efi to unblock Clover to pick it up.



That's it: I have Legacy Clover showing both Windows and macOS and I can boot to each of them correctly

Thanks myself for helping myself )))))))))))))))))
