So talented people here, I think someone can help me.
I have a mac pro 2009 with 2 xeon processor, 6 gigabyte ram, radeon hd4xxx, areca 1882.
1 terabyte hard disk in case 1 attached to mac pro.
2 * 300 GB hard disk in raid 0 attached to areca.
EFI install of windows 8 rtm enterprise 64 bit: no bootcamp driver installed, all works well but have to correct boot process each time I need to start windows 8 (as explained below).
Software installed with this steps:
1) Fresh install of mountain lion on 1 terabyte hard disk.
2) Window 8 RTM enterprise EFI install on areca raid 0.
2.1) At restart after 1st phase installation of windows 8 machine locks with mouse pointer and blue background
2.2) Force shutdown (4 seconds pushing power on button).
2.3) Restart and windows 8 ends installation correctly without any other problem
From now on all works well with windows 8 as default os BUT this happens on boot:
1) when i restart or turn on mac pro windows 8 boot showing logo with 'waiting balls' (the little dotted circle...) then waiting circle disappears and stay in this status forever
2) Force shutdown (4 seconds pusing power on button)
3) turn on mac pro when windows 8 boot black screen forever
4) Force shutdown
5) turn on mac pro with alt pressed
6) at boot selection insert windows 8 DVD
7) start efi install
8) go to recover menu
9) open cmd prompt
10) bootrec /fixmbr
11) bootrec /fixboot
12) shutdown
Turn on mac pro and windows 8 start correctly.
There is a way to correct this problem?
