[Solved] Can not boot Windows 8 and OS X 10.9 off same drive
Hey guys
So I am running my system with a single 240GB SSD. I would like to run OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and Windows 8 Pro by partitioning it 50/50.
I have used this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html
The problem I have is if I install both Windows(Non-UEFI) and OS X on the same drive it will only boot Windows unless I use the Unibeast Flash Drive. So I normally would use this guide to set the bootloader for OSX: http://www.tonymacx86.com/401-install-bootloader-extra-efi-partition.html
If I use this guide when both Windows and OS X are installed to the same drive I get the boot0 issue and if I boot the unibeast to go to Windows I get the Windows boot Manger is missing. I have tried the boot0 guide but that still doesn't solve the problem.
I get this if I try the above:
boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: test
boot0: done
I can still boot OS X if I use the Unibeast drive, Windows is still missing the Boot manger. I am presuming that the EFI guide wiped my Windows Boot Manager.
I haven't a clue what to do now. If someone could help that would be great. Thanks
