Ok, I'll just begin by saying that this is my first try on a hackintosh. I sucessfully managed to install Maverics on a computer that already had Windows 8 on it (both OS are on separate drives). However, when I finished my tinkering I wanted to boot into Windows again, but alas, the boot manager (?) did not work (the error read that file: \boot\bcd is missing).
So, I made a recovery USB for Windows (not an installation USB) and tried a few lines in Command Prompt from other guides I've found to try to fix the problem (they have not... ), like BOOTREC /FIXMBR, BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD and this thing. After all of this, chimera is gone as well (I just get a blinking _ )and now nothing works.
Currently, I only have access to a Windows laptop and two USB drives.
For the record, the windows installation is on a intel ssd (e: ) and Maverics on a 1TB HHD (disc 3, I believe) and there's two additional drives (2TB and 3TB) in the setup. All the HDDs are Western Digital drives.
One more thing, in case it's important, this is what I have in the boot override section in the BIOS:
Clover OS X Boot
Clover OS X Boot (no idea why it's listed twice)
UEFI: WDC WD10EARS-22Y5B1 (This is the drive with Mavericks)
SATA PS: WDC WD10EARS-22Y5B1 (and this as well?)
P0: WDC WD20EARS-00MVWBO (storage HDD)
P1: WDC WD30EZRX-00MMMBO (storage HDD)
P3: INTEL SSDSC2CT180A3 (contains the Windows installation)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
