The new GTX 980 (Circa, 4 months ago) is built for PCs and thus considered and "Unsupported" video card (No EFI) but nVidia writes drivers so it works in Mac OSX. It's just that I need the old GT 120 video card (Circa 2009) to see the Boot screens and Boot Menu because it has EFI capabilities : After it booted up, I shut the computer down and reistalled the SSD with OSX. So I removed the 480GB PCIE SSD that OSX is installed on and left only the Drive that Windows 8 is installed on, and much to my surprise it booted into Windows 8.

I read through some threads here and found some info from generous helpful people who know what the **** they are doing (like Loner T), and put together some info that was often requested in other threads in order to help others provide me with direction. I retained my old GT 120 video card WITH EFI so that I could do things that require it and swap between them pretty often (OSX Updates). I have to use BootChamp to switch over to windows, because without EFI (As some of you may know) you can't see the light grey boots-creen with Apple logo. The video card is an nVidia GTX 920 SC and does NOT have EFI so I cannot use Bootcamp when this card is in. Part of my problem is that I have a new "unsupported" video card in my Mac Pro (2009 upgraded firmware to 2010) that I need to use on the windows side, so I NEED BootChamp. OSX is on a separate drive : A PCIE SSD from Other World Computing, and I did do a Carbon-Copy-Clone of it to put on a new larger PCIE SSD (Also OWC) and everything worked fine, BootChamp worked once or twice, and then I restarted again. Again, Windows still works and I can still boot into it VIA Bootcamp (Using and old card with EFI in my Mac Pro). The Windows 8 installation is on a separate drive that is partitioned 80/20 for windows and Parallels, but I did not change/move the partition. I keep getting a "Bless Failed" error (See below). As the thread title states, Bootcamp and windows works, but BootChamp does not.
