Hi there!
I have 32 bit CPU, one HD and legacy BIOS on my laptop (Lenovo Y430). On my drive I installed Windows 7 first, and then OSX Sierra. So it was MBR drive and I could boot Windows directly from it or OSX with Clover USB. That satisfied me because I did not want to try to make normal dual boot since it's hard topic for legacy BIOS, AFAIK.
But then I formatted one of partitions (non-OS) in OSX in Disk utility, since then I can not boot to Windows, instead I have message "No bootable device". BTW, I still can boot OSX.
Thanks for any help!

- Did Disk utility converts my drive to GPT layout?
- What can I do to restore my Windows boot without reinstalling OS and reformatting my drive? Can something like "bootrec /FixMbr" help me?
