Thanks! But the restore of orginal EFI is not perfect/complete, I still see the GRUB message when booting Windows, even tho there is no error. And at boot chime the partition was renamed to "Boot EFI" insted of "Windows 8.1". Can this be even "repaired" or I need new bootcamp installation?

Can't seam to find this icns file? Is that on EFI volume that was used for this tweak? Sorry for so many basic question in this thread, but I am no expert on this. Like this

Thanks man, that worked! Do you know how to get back Win disk icon on boot chime. I still have nvidia logo with "Boot Efi" instead of "Win 8.1"

I see. Do you know when I try to restore EFI I get this; While attaching EFIBackup.dmg: /dev/disk2 /Volumes/EFI 1 I'm getting: ditto: can't get real path for source '/Volumes/EFIBackup' Like this

Thanks! Tho I have late 13" rMBP 2013 I can't get the internal screen working, will try with this EFI tweak. But do you need external screen to make this switch? My internal screen is blank a soon as I choose Win 8.1 partition from boot screen.

I would also ask if anyone can reupload OPTIMUS.dmg file. Thanks in advance ;-)

I see. The problem is that my PC does not support EFI (at least to my knowledge), so I don't know if migrating Win8 from it would work. I cant find the guide to convert Win8 to EFI via Winclone. I should be getting pcie riser today, so will try with that first and see how it goes. I also tried plugging in thunderbolt cable several times while windows was booting to overcome black screens, but unfortunately that didn't work either, the card was not detected by the system.

Thanks! Tho I don't have a working Win 8.1 with Nvida drivers preinstalled. Does Winclone provide EFI restore? I can make PC installation which has old Nvidia GTX 260 card installed and then clone the disk to rMBP?

Anyone got around this yet. Have received my MSI GTX 760 ITX, but it appears it needs additional power as I get black screen on boot thus I cant install Nvidia drivers. Ordered pcie powered raiser, but would like to have it inside AkiTio enclosure. I am no good with electriacal modding, thus I dont't know what/where/how to deliver power via soldering directly to board (pins marked on the picture).

If this are 80 x 80 x 15 fans, I would highly recommend Noiseblocker BlackSilentPRO Fan PC-P8, they still pushes decent amount of air, yet they are silent. I have used one of this to replace the loud fan in Silverstone 450W SFX PSU and I cant hear the fan spinning.

I agree, it looks neat, but way overpriced against AKiTio. The size of the chassis could also be smaller as it has quite an unused space.

I will. In the meantime, I have changed my mind (+ I need founds for GPU) and I will be using normal ATX psu that I have left over from other build, so anyone interested into cheap combo of new HDPLEX 250W PSU + new Dell PA-9E 240W power adapter, let me know.

Just to note, I have HDPLEX 250W (with PA-9E) and Akitio TB2 box, and the PSU does not fit inside the box! I am still waiting for MSI GTX760 ITX gpu tho. Will post worklog when done. Also, I have ordered 7.4 x 5.0 barrel female to 4pin pcie cable (to eliminate small pcb with DC connector that came with HDPLEX psu) and 5.5 x 2.5 male barrel to 4pin IDE Molex to power Akitio board (eliminating the extra psu).
