Okay, so I installed Windows 10 using Boot Camp initially from 10.11.5, everything was fine but I didn't know how to get back into OSX after so I ended up resetting the MBR with EasyBCD trying to use the Vista boot loader instead so I could choose between Widnows and Mac from there, and then I was really stuck on Windows cause I seemed to do this wrong, even pressing alt/option before Apple logo wont get the Macintosh HD to show up.
So then I booted into internet recovery and figured reinstalling OSX would work and rebuilding the boot order back from OSX/Boot Camp. I ended up doing so on a third partition so I wouldnt lose data. I now have OSX 10.11.5, Windows 10, and OSX 10.8.5 all on my Macbook Pro but am stuck in 10.8.5 now.
My 10.11.5 installation shows up on Startup Disk and I can tell my computer to restart into that OS but it ends up just reverting back to my 10.8.5 install. I tried installing boot loaders to see if I could get into the other OS's that way but to no avail.
Only one that seemed to get me closer was REFit, I can see the Recovery Partition (unbootable), Untitled (10.8.5 Bootable) and legacy OS which has a Windows logo so I assume this is my Win10 installation but I can't boot into this either so it all seems fairly useless.
Using rEFit's Partition Inspector I got the following information regarding my partitions.
Help me out please, I just want to have an easy dual boot between OSX 10.11.5 and Windows 10. I thought the 10.8.5 installation would help me recover the Apple bootloader/bootcamp but cant figure that out. Thanks in advance.
