Could this be the problem? http://www.tonymacx86.com/windows/84683-chimera-wont-boot-windows-8-separate-hdd.html

Hi

 

I have installed both systems OSX Mavericks and Windows 8.1 Pro on seperate SSD. On the OSX disk I also have installed the latest Chameleon bootloader. With just one SSD inserted, both system works fine. If I the insert both and set boot priority to OSX with Chameleon bootloader, the bootloader loads fine. From there i can boot without any problems into OSX.

 

Here comes the problem. I am unable to boot into Windows 8.1 Pro from the Chameleon bootloader. I have taken a screenshot of the error.

Maybe someone knows what goes wrong?

 

Thx for any help

Glad I could help! What specs are you running? I was thinking of upgrading to 10.9 and getting windows too, wonder how that was working out for you

About my Hackintosh Experience so far:

 

Works amazing, big thanks to RampageDev, he has awesome tutorials.

I have not found any big issue, iCloud and all this stuff is working fine. Maybe something to notice, I actually don't have a WiFi card, I have bought it but it didn't arrive jet.

Also I didn't notice any performance issue on OS X.
