However, since Windows 7 required a BIOS boot, Apple started adding the ability to BIOS boot from USB. This is also the time Apple starting to eliminate the optical drives from Mac models. Apple did not catch up until around 2012/2013. The industry switched to EFI booting of Windows in 2011. Your Mac is probably just a year to early. UPD: I've noticed that my USB drive is detected as internal, that's not true. Here's my partition table: /dev/disk0 (internal, physical):ģ: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 119.9 GB disk0s3Ģ: Apple_APFS Container disk2 127.8 GB disk1s2Ġ: APFS Container Scheme - +127.8 GB disk2ġ: APFS Volume w32u SSD - Data 11.0 GB disk2s1Ġ: FDisk_partition_scheme *125.1 GB disk3Ĭan I actually boot from USB with the MBR bootloader on Mac or not? I've tried any way, including rEFInd, but it results again in booting to Win10 installed on disk0 HDD. It doesn't work – it just boots to Windows 10 installed on the internal HDD with legacy method + Hybrid MBR too. When I'm trying to boot from the USB with the command (I've unmounted the disk before): sudo bless -device /dev/disk3s1 -setBoot -legacy For experimental purposes I've installed Windows 7 to USB (it's NOT an installer, a real OS on USB) via WinNTSetup on other PC.
