IFW problem
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2019 10:09 pm
I have a self-inflicted problem with my MacBook Pro with Bootcamp
partition (Windows 7).
I recently created a second Windows partition to store music files, by
first shrinking C: partition and then creating a non-bootable second
partition.
That worked fine but I managed to destroy the ability to boot into
the MAC partition.
I took the computer to a MAC specialist who reformatted and partitioned
the drive and reinstalled the Apple OS.
I then proceeded to restore from a "full drive" image made in IFW.
Can't do that apparently because I am sort of back where I started -
cannot find Apple OS in the boot manager (again).
I say sort of, because in windows disk management I can still see the
Apple partition, so I guess I may have converted the GPT boot files to MBR.
Sorry about the long story, but if there is a fix (without destroying my
Windows OS again), then I would surely like to know how to do it.
Thanks for any help
