MacbookAir 2012 -Yosemite+Windows 7 (2 partition)

mydurian — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:44:17 +0800

Hi All,

Would like to achieve the following. Wonder if this is possible. Been trying for a few times and stuck at the MBR (4 partition) limitation.

1) Yosemite OS
2) Windows 7 (inside 2 partitions)

I noticed using diskutil that the Yosemite OS itself is having 3 primary partitions. (EFI, Core, Recovery HD).
Some users claimed to have achieve this by merging the recovery HD with the Windows Partition (before installing Windows) and then split these into 2 (still fall inside the 4 partition limitation).

I wonder if my finding above are correct.

Appreciate any sifu out there can advise.

I'm looking for this and have asked 'Machines' at SPY & MV. They don't carry it.
Am wondering whether anyone uses it or know where to get it. I prefer off the shelf, as the online purchase cost additional RM 30. That though will be my last resort.
