I'm trying to access the EFI partition and view certain files.
I have an EFI installed Windows 8 64 bit system on a MacBook Pro retina. (ie not BootCamp)
I have mounted the EFI partition in Command Prompt and it appears in Windows Explorer, however it refuses me access to it. Access denied.
How can I get access to its contents please? :think:

My primary reason to access it is to view and copy my current BCD file. I suppose a method to copy that file might be a good enough work around, at a pinch.

Thanks.
