I hope apple updates the bootcamp asap since 10.13 isn't a beta anymore but until then i guess i'm going to delete windows again because i don't feel like holding down the option key everytime now and to answer your question my theory was wrong about it being based off the last os you install into the partition because windows was still on the left so my new theory that makes more sense is that 10. Anyways now i messed up because now it automatically boots me into windows when i open my macbook pro a1707 (2017) since i can't change it to boot into macOS from the bootcamp control panel. I'm kinda stupid and my first thought was like oh maybe it's just bootcamp needing a update to support High Sierra and the apfs but my stupid curious self decided to just oh well delete my windows partition and start over (i didn't have much besides some games and some files i didn't reallt care about). Step 3: Now, Right-click on the Boot Camp icon and select the option Restart in macOS. I am however ignorant of the UEFI boot process and firmware on Mac, someone else should be able to help you here to add the entry.Same for me, I thought it was because it changes depending on what you os you installed last so like the right would be the last os you've installed into the partition. Select the Boot Camp volume, then press Return or click the up arrow. Release the key when you see a window (pictured above) showing all available startup volumes. However, I understand that it is enough just to specify your HFS+ volume for it to boot. When your Mac begins to restart, press and hold the Option (or Alt) key on your keyboard. There should be an option for your two boot volumes on your screen, just use the keyboard to move over to the macOS volume and press return. Choose to restart from windows, and as soon as you hear the mac boot 'chime' hold down 'alt' on the keyboard. In short, what you need to do now is to add a new boot entry in your firmware menu pointing to your OS X bootloader, which I have gathered from the web to be /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi on your HFS+ volume. Open settings/startup disk, unlock, select the system disk (the only disk), then press the reboot button 3. If you need to get back to macOS, I've been using the old method. Your firmware boot menu would have originally contained only an entry for Mac, and for some unknown reason Windows Setup seems to have wiped it out. BootCamp as a bootloader is now no longer required. What seems to have happened is that your Windows seems to have switched modes at some time, and has established itself as a UEFI-booting OS on GPT. What BootCamp does is to apply an ugly hack to make it look like being an MBR partitioned disk to Windows, which can then boot via BIOS. On such machines Windows can use GPT disk partitioning and boot from your firmware boot menu without any need of BootCamp. Yours is quite a new model of MacBook Pro : Your firmware would be UEFI compliant. If you are restricted to WIFI and the boot process fails, just restart your Mac until you succeed booting. This How do I make my Boot Camp partition bootable again? seems to be very close to my problem, but rEFIt is distributed in CDR format, I tried to convert that to ISO and burn to a USB with no luck, the system won't see the USB.Īnyone knows of other ways to fix Bootcamp loader to show OSX partition ? The ACTIVE command can only be used on fixed MBR disks. The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk. Partition 1 is now the selected partition. Partition 3: 93.47 GB - Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary PartitionĪnd this is the output of MS DiskPart utility: Partition 2: 620 MB - Primary Partition (no idea what this is for) Partition 1: 837.57 GB - Primary Partition Partition 0: 200 MB - EFI System Partition I checked Disk Management and the OSX partition is still present (partition 1): I have tried a couple of Windows utilities, trying to change the Active partition, but for some reason that option is always grayed out, even DiskPart doesn't allow to set it. The laptop is a MacBook Pro November 2013 model, with one original SSD drive (without DVD drive, however I have an external one) and I don't have a OSX installation disk, so I could not try recovery utilities etc. Anyone knows how to recover the OSX partition, so that I can boot into OSX ? I'm happy to drop Windows if that's the case, but I cannot proceed with a fresh install wiping OSX. Windows works just fine (I'm using it now) but my main setup and a lot of work in progress is on OSX so I really need to recover it. When I select "OSX" from the control panel Bootcamp utility, and reboot, the system goes into Windows regardless. When I hold the ALT button at boot, the menu shows only Windows and there is no option to boot OSX. I installed Windows 8.1 Enterprise via Bootcamp on my MBP (Nov 2013 model), now I can only boot into Windows, no way to boot into OSX.
