2. Brief notes: Using rEFInd, need to allow drive to spin up for it to be visible on refind.

usb drive not seen with refind.

Windows XP installer did not allow installation to partition which was created after the mac partition, so creating a new partition by moving the mac partition - 8 hours!

3. EFI fix - https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57597/how-to-fix-broken-efi-partition

Tried gdisk -> Advanced -> H

Finally. Install Mint alongside other partitions.

Edit: 2 Jan 2021 - Possibly a portable Win10 using WintoUSB may be the easiest option, for Windows 7 and higher versions of Windows - the Macbook is supposed to boot from CD if we press and hold the C keyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinBuilder#Actively_developed_projects
