I successfully tested his method to boot Ubuntu installed on my internal hard disk. The point I was trying to make was that Windoze's solution to booting Ubuntu (via GRUB 2) has nothing to do with having a UEFI compliant Mac. This installation uses the legacy BIOS/MBR scheme. I have Windows 8.1 - 64 bit installed on my iMac even though Apple's web site " System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp" specifies only Windows 7 - 32 bit. I am not sure which file VirtualBox uses to boot the virtual machine. ![]() Rod's comment is correct, both EFI/BOOT/boot圆4.efi and EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi exist and are identical. When I refered to Windows 10, I was looking at an installation done in EFI mode using VirtualBox on my 2007 iMac. This also working for me and I have a iMac 2007 model (iMac7,1). This is not because you have a new Retina MacBook Pro 2015 model (MacBookPro11,5). ![]() Your Mac thinks it is booting Windows when in fact it is boot grub 2. Basically you moved and renamed grub 2 to this location and name. When Windows 10 - 64 bit boots in EFI mode, the file the firmware loads is located at /EFI/BOOT/boot圆4.efi in the hidden EFI partition.
