I am trying to move my Bootcamp Partition to a nice new HD, its all ready to go as in Elcapitan is installed, the drive has been partitioned using The Bootcamp Assistant I have a Bootcamp image created with Winclone 6.

I boot up Elcapitan all works fine, I load Winclone 6 I choose the Image and the Destination, I then get a message telling me that I must disable SIP in recovery mode.

My problem now is that I cannot boot into recovery mode, I have tried three ways that I know and all three produce the same result.

1. Hold CMD + R
2. Hold Opt + CMD + R
3. Hold Opt and choose to boot from the recovery drive

Using the first two above my machine starts to boot apple logo appears spinning beachball appears, within seconds the screen goes black and the machine turns off.

Third option above has the same result.

Recovery mode works fine on my Mavericks Boot up drive.

Any help would be good.
Thanks.

Are you by chance running El Cap on an "unsupported" machine.
I ask this because if this is the case then my next question would be, "have you modified the boot.efi files on the Recovery HD"?

No to both questions but I have since solved my problem.

I went looking for something that checked and repaired recovery boot partions and I found this - Recovery Partition Creator, I ran this and the problem was solved.
