While I’m happy to “blast away” and rebuild my existing Bootcamp partition if that would help, I would like to understand why the process as I described above has resulted in my not being able to boot into Windows at all.

So I back-tracked and using Winclone 8 I restored from my newly created Windows 10 copy, only to find that it too would no longer boot! Again, regardless of which icon I choose during startup, all I can now boot into is Mac OS “Catalina”! I first made and saved a Winclone copy of Windows 10 and only then used Winclone 8 to restore Windows XP which I’d created some years ago.Īlthough the entire Winclone process of both backup and restoration went seamlessly, when I tried to actually boot into WIndows at startup, I found I could only launch Mac OS regardless of which icon I clicked on during startup.
That Winclone copy used Winclone ver 3 which will not work on “Catalina” so I purchased a new up-to-date copy of Winclone ver 8.1 Upon taking delivery I used Bootcamp to create a Windows partition (by this time it was Windows 10) but I hankered to restore a Winclone copy of the Windows that I had previously on my old iMac. That is where things lay until I decided to purchase a new 2117 iMac with “Catalina” OSX 10.15. However doing that “broke” Bootcamp so I could no longer boot into Windows at all!

Then several years ago Microsoft announced that they were no longer going to support Skype for “Snow Leopard”! Remembering the problem I’d had previously, I decided to create a second OSX partition on which to install “El Capitan” OSX 10.11 retaining “Snow Leopard” for video editing. Unfortunately that “broke” my Parallels for Macintosh but I didn’t have an appropriate installer to reinstall it because thus far I’d always merely updated from one version to another - so I approached Parallels but they were unwilling to supply me with an “out-of-date” installer meaning that I was left without any operational Parallels, so from then on I was only able to access Windows via Bootcamp at startup! So using “Time machine” I “rolled back” my OSX to “Snow Leopard” OSX 10.6. Over time OSX upgrades took me step by step to “Lion” OSX 10.7 when I discovered that the version of iMovie I had been using was no longer available and its replacment did not do what I wanted. In the intervening years I kept both the Mac and Windows operating systems up to date as well as “Parallels for Macintosh” (which had to be updated each time the Mac OS was updated). I first purchasing that original 2008 iMac with “Jaguar” OSX 10.2 installed, and used Bootcamp to create a Windows partition (at that time is was Windows XP) which I was able to access either by booting directly at startup or if I’d booting into the Mac OS at startup I could still access Windows using “Parallels for Macintosh”. I recently replaced my old iMac from 2008 with a new 2117 iMac.
