I first used BootCamp (Windows 7) on a partition in an iMac, but when I bought my first cMP 1,1 (which I upgraded to a 2,1) I copied the partition to a separate SSD - it was a long time ago but I remember there being much pain to get it to work.

You can read about other potential HybridMBR issues here: /gdisk/hybrid.html.īare Metal Windows might not be an option for you since you are already up and running with BootCamp though and the HybridMBR stuff might not be relevant for you either. It might not be as bad with Mojave, but there are sometimes issues such as Spotlight indexing BootCamp forever and chewing up CPU cycles. Basically, the whole BootCamp setup is a nasty hack to make Windows work for Apple by setting up 'HybridMBR' disks. I know you already have Windows but I find it better to have it installed Bare Metal (without BootCamp) as there are some irritations with BootCamp. These will be near the bottom of the RefindPlus config file. You can keep and try OpenCore in this case and maybe you will see the virtues after this but if you do indeed not want it at all, just delete the OpenCore folders it creates as well as the entries for running it in the RefindPlus config. This will set both RefindPlus and OpenCore up. You say you don't want to use OpenCore so you can follow instructions on installing RefindPlus on its GitHub page but it might however be easier to use MyBootMgr, (linked in my signature below). RefindPlus is derived from rEFInd which can also be used, but rEFInd does not natively support RX 570 on cMP.

You can configure it to always boot one option unless you intervene or to wait for you to make a selection each time.

I guess Apple has concluded that that's not so much true anymore.You can install a boot manager such as RefindPlus to allow you select between Mac OS and Windows each time you boot. At the time, I thought Apple had come up with a really slick and interesting method for solving that 2TB boundary. where the sizes indicated at the end of each line are the location on the disk at which that partition ends. |- MacOS Hard Drive (partition 1 of volume 1) - | (Windows size minus 2TB) | - Windows (volume 2) - | (2TB) | - MacOS Hard Drive (partition 2 of volume 1) - | (3TB). So in previous versions of Bootcamp, it sliced up the hard drive so that it basically looks something like this. My understanding is its a rather complicated matter, in this very specific configuration, but here's my best attempt at a layman's interpretation of the situation: Going forward, the 2012 models are no longer going to be able to support Windows installations on hard drives which exceed 2TB, in part because Windows itself does not support boot volumes outside of the first 2TB of the hard drive on that generation of hardware - and possibly in conjunction with bugs associated with the partitioning scheme required to accomplish the installation of Windows, within those constraints.

That said, I'm afraid I'm not surprised that it didn't fix the issue for 2012 iMacs. I was wondering if anyone had any luck after this update.I have the same machine with the same drive, and I came to the comment thread specifically looking to see if anyone else had tried this so thanks for your insights on this.

#BOOT CAMP MAC OS MOJAVE UPDATE#

I was hoping this update would address this issue but after installing the file I still can not install Boot Camp.

When I updated to macOS Mojave, I loss my Windows Partition. I have a 2012 iMac 13,2 with a 3TB Fusion Drive.
