Hi All - Clover running fine for Mac partition - El capitan. Moved from Chameleon to Clover in triple boot (Mac, Win7, Ubuntu).
Added Linux Mint and can still se all OS's - but can only boot mac. Prior to Mint (after Clover install) I was getting boot1 error on the non mac os's. Figured I was close to getting that worked out.

Gparted says the drive is pure GPT (launch Linus with USB to check)

Still have to get windows repair disk - but hesitant to screw with this more until checking here.

The failure screens are standard fair.

By the way I also reinstalled Clover just in case that would fix things.

Thanks.

boot1 error is not possible with UEFI. Why are you doing legacy boot?

I thought that my original Windows and Linux (under Chameleon on my Bios 4530s) were "legacy". I updated to Clover, fixed my Mac OS install and went from there.

I looked for methods to Convert my Windows to UEFI with reinstalling and was overwhelmed with the number of supposed solutions And once I reinstalled grub2 on the ubuntu partition I was sure that would show up. Not the case.

Basically trying not to do a reinstall. My original triple boot a couple of years ago is thanks to to your blog. Didn't want to screw that up moving to clover - but did. Mac runs and upgrades better than ever but I can't even get to windows anymore. I was able to start it at least before the linux incident.

Thanks for the question - though I don't think I'm going to like the answer of what to do. All my Mac stuff is backed up. I am trying to get into windows so I can do my Win10 upgrade.

There is a good article on moving Windows to UEFI on Microsoft's technet. You can find it with google.
