hi

I have been using freebsd and windows 7 on mbr partitioned hdd (using easyb=
cd on windows to manipulate boot menu and boot code).

recently I bought an new machine with Intel I7 processor,  uefi bios, ssd a=
nd installed windows 7 64-bit first.

after that I installed freebsd 10 (amd64); I used guided partitioning, whic=
h created a 64-kB freebsd-boot partition, a 48GB / partition and a swap abo=
ut 2.5 GB.


Then I tried to set up booting by the same method: install easybcd in windo=
ws, then set up boot menu with easybcd, add an entry   freebsd as BSD/FreeB=
SD type entry,  but this time I am not able to get it work.

Win 7 boots OK, but freebsd does not start, the windows boot manager compla=
ins about missing or corrupt boot block, which is definitely on the given f=
ull path.

How can I get a working dual booting system in this case? Can anbody help m=
e?
