MP 1,1-5,1 My new? Mac pro 4.1/5.1

[Cactusface]

Hi,
Well I've Deleted the VirtualBox and the message vanished!! One of the 2 drives shown is my Camera CF memory card, and despite in saying Mac it boots into Windows. If I remove it, it vanishes from the boot screen, not sure what the other is! it could be a FAT32 drive that I am using as a swap-drive between Mac OS and Windows.

I have pinched the graphics card out of the PC and it seems OK the cinebencz test went up a little (but only 1670)? It's a GTX 660 with 2GB ram. but I need a good graphics tester?

Thanks...

Thanks.

Both should be hidden in a MyBootMgr configured setup as I thought ... Will sort this out in the next version.

In the interim, if you want, you can hide them by selecting each in turn and pressing the '-' (minus) key ... You can hide any displayed item in this way.

If you want to restore something previously hidden, go into the "Hidden Tags" tool and select the option to display that item.

Legacy bios boot doesn't usually work for external drives.

Does RefindPlus have the code that sets the active partition in case a disk has multiple legacy bootable partitions?

A few popular benchmarking tools are e.g. Geekbench, Luxmark, Unigine Heaven , Unigine Valley etc.etc.
Note that running these can be a heavy load on the GPU and/or CPU , personally I wouldnt run them for hours ; )

Your Cinebench result is 1670. I suppose you meant 16.70 fps running OpenGL?
If so, that's more or less as expected , it's not much but still a massive improvement to the GT710....

Nothing specific regarding this was added. Status will/should be the same as whatever rEFInd has

I think the code is there: it's done by ActivateMbrPartition which is called by StartLegacy (TAG_LEGACY type loaders which are Mac only; not the same as TAG_LEGACY_UEFI loaders which I think Macs don't use).

@Dayo Thanks for your help, yes I have been able to delete those 2 drive, it's sooo easy when you know how!!
@KeesMacPro Hi Geekbench was the only one I'd heard of before so gave that a try1 Don't suppose my figures are anything special, but things can only get better, with more memory it seems 24GB would be good 3 x 8GB (Better then 32GB? 4 x 8GB) a good graphics card, etc.

I have been able to delete those 2

As a technicality, they were not deleted but hidden and this can be reversed if so desired.

@Dayo Yes you're right again, their just hiding!

@joevt

Thanks to you all for your help and advice, there are another couple of questions, but not related to this, so perhaps a couple of new posts coming up very soon.

Best
