mathew2019 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Hi Pavo Thank you for the reply but it wont delete the entire EFI folder. The OC folder in EFI folder / partition is still there..only BOOT folder which contains BOOTX64.efi deletes. so is it a bug or some settings need to be added in Config.plist? Please see the screen shot of EFI folder attached here with. Edited January 24, 2020 by mathew2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The BootX64.efi is basically a re-directing module. That is what UEFI looks for in drives in order to add it to the boot menu entry for your mobo. If you are installing Windows it "could" potentially replace that file for its own which will make the BootX64.efi file direct it to the Winblows boot.efi (windows bootloader) location. Again I suggest you disconnect the drive completely that has OpenCore EFI on it and install Windows on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to deploy Windows manually using DISM tool. Here is manual. It's in russian.

UefiBooter Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, Pavo said: Because Winblows installs it own EFI, which will delete any existing EFI currently on the ESP. It’s best to completely disconnect the drive that you have your opencore EFI on when installing Winblows. umm no it doesnt. it removes BOOTX64.efi and the /EFI/BOOT folder as part of the boot camp installation, when OS X and Windows are shared on the same disk. so much misinformation in this thread these days, reminds me more of a clover thread. Just install OS X first as then use the boot camp assistant to install Windows. note more recent versions of boot camp assistant may create the modified windows installer on a ExFat usb drive instead of Fat32. either copy the files onto a Fat32 or add a ExFat uefi driver to OpenCore.

Exactly this is what I was also initially doubt on, because in clover if you install dual boot with Windows the Windows wont delete the EFI folder nor boot folder. so if this happens only on Opencore then it should be something to do with the boot loader. I wasn't using USB installer as in Catalina if you use bootcamp then it will ask for Windows installer iso and it create some background installer process then systems restarts. this time the system boots into BIOS instead of starting install procedure. If you add BOOT folder manually to the EFI partition/folder then you can complete the Windows installation without any issues. you do not need any USB installer to compete Windows installation. If you choose manual option then on boot picker windows installer option still remains and every time system will boot into the Windows setup. I will try your suggestion and also look into vandroiy2012 instruction to see if this resolves the issues, I will post it back the results, Thank you, Edited January 25, 2020 by mathew2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quade321 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hello, I'm having issues getting OpenCore to load. I have a... GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with an i7-3770k and an RX 560. I've followed the guide for Ivy Bridge and am getting no errors from my config.plist. I've configured my BIOS to use the Windows 8 WHQL mode, and disabled CSM. After attempting to boot from my USB, I get no output. It simply sits there not doing anything. I then loaded the DEBUG build to hopefully get some insight, but it seems not to be of any use. The information printed is as follows: OC: Starting OpenCore... OC: Booter path - <null string> OC: Booted from bootstrap OC: ReRun executed! OCS: Missing vault data, ignoring... OC: OcMiscEarlyInit... OC: Loaded configuration of 17914 bytes And that's where it ends. It seems to be loading fine, but simply won't move any further. I've attached my config.plist, and my entire EFI folder separately as a zip file. Thank you for any insights as to what's happening or how to debug further. This is pretty baffling to me.
