Windows 1809 ISO and Boot Camp Issue

What is your configuration? I installed windows with the ssd on the backplane before moving it onto the sled.

I think the general advice is to pull all your other drives so that only the volume you want windows installed on is present. Otherwise you risk windows installing support partitions on the wrong volumes. Create a usb installer and install windows. Once windows is running, shut down the machine and install your sled. Reboot windows and allow it to initialize the device. Then shut down and move your ssd onto the sled.

I can install it normally, boot 2-3 times normally. Bootcamp drivers okay. Somehow after some more reboots. It bootloops with critical service error.

MP 4.1>5.1 dual cpu
Bootrom ver 140.0.0.0
Gtx 680 efi flashed.
HS 10.13.6
Mac osx on kingston predator 960gb pcie ssd.
I did install windows with uefi on bay 1 ssd. Bootcamped on sad bay 1, last i tried bootcamp on pcie ssd (made the mp see it internal with cdf’s kext)

All the times above managed to install it but as i said after sometime it stuck at lopp everytime.

Bizarre.
What other PCI cards do you have installed?
Also, remove macOS drive while installing Windows.

Definitely use CD to install!
What exact model is the SSD you’re installing to? Also, what firmware version does the SSD have?

I thought that’s where you have macOS and you were installing Windows to the SATA SSD? Non?

I run win 10 uefi on a sata6 ssd mounted on an apricorn solo x2 pcie sled without issue. Be aware that if you run OS X in soft raid it will crash windows however.

If you disable and/or remove the AppleRAID disks before installing Windows, then download MacDrive 10 Professional, it will actually read and write the AppleRAID volume, and it does so very fast and reliably. I have used it for years and no problems.
[doublepost=1547444477][/doublepost]Disclaimer: I have not experienced any of the above mentioned issues with BootROM corruption, and am running version
MP51.0085.B00. I would recommend downloading from a Windows machine (or virtual machine) https:/rufus.ie to create a EFI compatible USB flash drive installer. It shims a linux boot loader using FAT32 initially, loads an NTFS driver, and installs Windows 10 from there in EFI mode. I am using Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 1809 x64 and it runs great.
 
I found disabling the disks in device manager solved the problem. Mac drive pro always seemed like an expensive and potentially problematic program for me. I ran into corruptions issues and other quirky problems.
 
OK it's not the drive causing problems here , it is the driver from Boot Camp which makes BSOD it is called hfs.sys or similar , it is an apple driver installed by Boot Camp to read Apple formatted hfs drives , after some updates windows collapses
The first built under anniversary update The first built under an diversity update works with this driver after that it won't . I have posted details in another threat , as a non-solo from my phone I can tell you lots to disable the drive but to rename the driver in c:windows/system/drivers32/ or similar search for hfs.sys and rename it to hfs.sys.bat and you are done ...
 
the driver(s) you are speaking of are actually named "AppleHFS.sys" and "AppleMNT.sys"

they are found in C:Windows/System32/drivers/

I must be a particular exception since I never got a BSOD with these drivers, even with all Windows updates. What it messed up for myself was system restore functions did not work under Windows 10. After these drivers were removed it allowed system restore functions to be turned on and used
 
A question

I cloned the legacy disk with winclone but it needed a gpt disk. So gere is the question. My disk (source one) was mbr , new one is gpt. How does it works?

Havent tried the cloned one if it boots.

Anyone to enlight me about winclone.
 
Can I get more information about the nvram issue? As well as a link/direction on how to actually do an efi install? I have a 3,1

That gets tricky as there cannot be a hybrid MBR in place - that needs to be removed or Windows will see it as an MBR drive. Once Windows sees it as a pure GPT drive, it will need to write files to the EFI partition which is non-existent on a legacy installation. Winclone may do some of this for you as I have never tried it. I am reluctant to attempt to give specific instructions over a forum as I don’t want to take the chance of causing you data loss.
