Hi! I've installed ML in my Probook 4430's with any problem. So I tried install Win in another partition.
I saw many posts and I decided to start the process.

Format another partition with MSDOS
Restart and install Windows, but the installation failed because the disc was in corrupt!
So, I restarted.

Now, I get "Boot Device Not Found"
I tried with re-intallation of Chimera, but doesn't work.

Please! I need help. I don't know what happened.
 
Use terminal to display partition table and check if yours is active

sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0


type p to display partition table

fdisk: 1>p


------------------------------------------------------------------------
*1: EE 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [ <Unknown ID>
2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused
3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused
4: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused

* indicates active partition, if not present use f 1 or f 2 to activate

fdisk: 1> f 1

use w to write changes and q to quit the program afterwards

p.s
If you already tried Chimera that should take care of writing boot0 file to MBR. If you don't see change after using above commands transfer boot0 manually by typing

sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
 
It works, thanks for that.

Now I see Chimera, but when it starts, the loading bar is too slow and when the apple appears my laptop just restart.

Now it works fine, I reinstalled chimera.
Thanks a lot for your help.
