I saw you updated the BCD-SYS. Does it detect hybrid partitions now?

Thanks if you are using Sierra or earlier when you create a FAT32 partition through disk utility it automatically converts the GPT to Hybrid partition.

I did not know they banned you. I thought they only removed the post. Shame on them. look here and here

Will bcd-sys be equivalent to these commands: mkdir S:\boot xcopy /E /H /K D:\boot S:\boot copy /b D:\bootmgr S:\bootmgr D:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 S: /mbr This is what is missing after conversion to hybrid partition of the GPT installation. you have another tool called ms-sys, which looks more suitable for legacy/hybrid partitions. Also to clarify hybrid partition cannot see the EFI partition and anything written to the EFI will not be visible from Windows. There is no system partition with Bootcamp...

Actually, the hybrid MBR scheme is nothing more than protecting GPT partitions you want to hide from the MBR boot sector. So, the WIndows partition does not see the EFI partition when booted. There is no need for system partition all files are written to the main Windows partition. I looked through your repo and combined with Serhii's tool, which provides NTFS write support can do everything needed.

Thanks all. I have a suggestion. For the Legacy boot the partition needs to be converted to hybrid partition scheme (with gdisk.exe) from GPT instead of converting the whole disk to MBR.
