Booting to blank screen with cursor

Hi!

I just installed a SSD in my mid-2012 MacBook Pro. I used Winclone (Basic) to backup the Bootcamp partition, and then restored it (after much effort disabling SIP) with Winclone. When I’m in macOS (Sierra), I can see the partition and it’s called “BOOTCAMP”. However, when I choose that drive to reboot using Startup Disk, instead of a hard drive icon, it has a folder icon. Then when I reboot, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I’m able to use a program called Bootchamp to boot into Windows, but when I do, the sound doesn’t work on Windows (which is key since I use the Windows side to run a karaoke night!) I also tried holding down the Option key on boot to choose the startup disk, and there’s no Bootcamp choice, but one that says “EFI_BOOT”.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you need to switch to legacy booting:

That did the trick! Thank you!!!

Thanks for letting me know. Can you let me know what model identifier you have? Is it in this list?
