[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1930594, member: 56379"] Boot Camp is definitely supported on your 2009 Mac Pro...but...is the issue due to the RX480 graphics card...or because you're running Mojave...or both. As I'm sure you know...these items are not officially supported...and thus may be the source of the Boot Camp issue. Command + R takes you to the Recovery Partition. Try pressing the Option key when booting to see if you get the choice to boot into the macOS install. Also remember your screen may be "black" (at least initially)...because a non-officially supported video card is installed...which may not give you a boot startup screen. Since you have a 2009 Mac Pro with 4 internal drive bays...another option could be...use one drive for a macOS install...and used a 2nd drive for a Windows install.:) HTH, Nick p.s. Remember...your 2009 Mac Pro has a non-officially supported video card installed...and a not officially supported macOS install (Mojave). Thus you may run into unknown issues. [/QUOTE]
