Failed to dual boot macOS and Windows #38

Closed LurnD closed 3 years ago

LurnD commented 3 years ago

Hello Juan-VC, I am here again lol. I installed Catalina and it worked fine on my friend's G7 with BCM94352z (Lenovo version). But I encountered a weird problem. This G7 works in RAID mode, I transfer origin Windows system by Aomei Assistant. After I transferred windows to M.2 SSD(macOS also installed on it), in OC boot page, I can choose macOS, Recovery and windows. But when I chose windows selection, It can't boot into it and stuck at some dot looped before enter windows login interface. I tested if I turn on RAID mode, Windows can work fine. I am wondering how to dual boot macOS and Windows(with my using version, much working data and software, not possible to reinstall a new version) with RAID mode off . My currently used SSD(windows install on, Samsung PM981 512G which can't boot macOS), the replaceable one is WD SN550 1T (macOS and Windows installed).

Also wanted to know how Big Sur works?

Yes it is weird if it works in RAID mode and also that windows cannot be installed in AHCI, well if ot works in raid I see no problem leaving it like that! Also are you loading windows with OpenCore or a chain loader? Because ACPI tables for windows are not ready, I haven’t had the time or have been somewhat lazy so windows must be loaded with a chain loader like rEFInd.

About big sur, works as intented everything is fine except for some minor bugs in apps I believe is because they have not been updated. Also I need to update the hidpi script as big sur system files are all cryptographically signed and macOS works with snapshots so it is kinda tricky to modify the live system.

Yes I am using OpenCore to boot Windows. So if I understand correctly, I can transfer windows to the new SSD and boot macOS and Windows in AHCI mode, but should config rEFInd to boot Windows correctly?

Juan-VC-gh commented 3 years ago

Yes, that is the idea. I gotta someday fix windows booting with oc but just have been lazy or busy.

OK, thank you very much. I am gonna test rEFInd in the end of month. My friend had got his laptop back.

Dropped rEFInd for multi-boot, OC is the only one needed now

Thanks I will test it and give you responses.
