I've installed Windows 8.1 to my Macbook Pro 15 mid 2012 via legacy mode, all went ok. It was installed to disk1s1 (HDD in optical bay), my OS X 10.11 sits in my SSD (disk0) on the main bay.
Disk1s2 is a data partition.
I can see the Windows drive if I press alt during EFI boot, but when I try to boot it, says:
My HDD is MBR and my SSD is GPT.
If I remove my SSD, Windows boots normally and I can work all day.
How to boot with both drives connected?
