I'm helping a friend do a clean install of Win10 on his el cap system. it was previously successfully booting el cap and win10 but the windows install became infected.
I haven't done a legacy dual boot in several years and I have lost my touch.
we erased the windows partition using disk utility.
then legacy installed win10 from dvd.
then used fdisk on the Mac side to set the active partition back to OS X.
now clover boots, but only the el cap partition shows on the clover screen.
I have googled but can only find advice on hiding windows partitions not showing them.
attached is the config.plist for what it's worth.

thanks in advance

Set the Windows partition as the active partition or it will not boot.
Install boot0ss with Clover so it will boot to the Clover screen.

You may have to re-install Windows. I recommend Malware Bytes for cleaning infected Windows.
 
I am always installing Windows in UEFI mode through clover even though it is using Legacy Clover in Legacy only supported systems.

So that there will be no issues to boot windows through clover.
I can't boot UEFI on a board that is too old to support UEFI.

if I could boot UEFI I wouldn't be booting legacy in the first place.
