Legacy Win 8.1 & 10.9 Multi boot problem (0xc000000f)

[dobrincic]

Hi,

I installed 10.9 and 8.1 on 2 different disks, using guide found on this forum. Win 8.1 is installed in legacy mode.

Every time i try to boot to 8.1 using Chimera it gets me this error (picture attached) :

/Boot/BCD
Status: 0xc000000f

Strange thing is that if I install win 7 x64, everything works just fine and i can boot to win 7 normally.

I can also normally boot to Win 8.1 if I manually select windows HDD in BIOS quick boot settings (F12).

How can i repair boot partitions so that i can boot using Chimera? I read someone using linux partition manager to rapair MBR but i didnt totally get it.

Thnx in advance!

Ivan

If you installed Win8 in legacy mode on its own HDD/SSD you should have a System Reserved partition. Select this partition at the Chimera screen to boot Win8.
