I have not tried to find out the effect of using EFI 1.1 x86_64 firmware (that runs in recent Intel Macs) on Windows UEFI-GPT booting process, because from the start I have been using only UEFI 2.0 圆4 DUET firmware. I use DUET (UEFI64 build) in a 1GB FAT32 USB pen drive to boot Windows 圆4. I myself have Windows Vista and 7 圆4 installed in UEFI-GPT setup. That's the reason why I put that post in Windows Discussion forum (this is purely a Windows based topic with no reference to Mac hardware).
As I mentioned in that post I have done this conversion only in Dell India Studio Laptops till now (using DUET in USB), but it will work with any UEFI based system which is currently running in BIOS compatibility mode (like HP EliteBooks, Sony Vaio Z-series etc.). Well, I do not own any Intel Mac hardware or for that matter any Mac hardware (not even the old PowerPC Macs) to try this conversion method. I am the same person who wrote that post. If you have non-Apple hardware which have UEFI 2.x, that link is great (although I would first try installing Windows using UEFI instead of converting). Most of this thread is discussing Apple hardware. Apple ships NO systems with that combination. It says that you MUST have 64-bit UEFI 2.x firmware. While the link is a great description of the conversion process that is available, be VERY SURE to read Note #1. Other simple possibility is that you have the wrong device path for the SL drive. If you have all the correct files, any good EFI Shell should allow you to dual boot. Then when you set the system up dual boot, make sure that all the necesary files exist.
WINDOWS STARTER ISO REMOVE EFI INSTALL
:-(Ī first step is to individually install each OS as the only OS on the system, and examine and copy the contents of the ESP. efi files into the ESP.Īlso, most operating system installers blindly assume they own the whole system and quietly clobber anything that already exists, so the second installed OS "wins". Obviously a Dx58so doesn't have that firmware so you will probably need to copy the necessary.
WINDOWS STARTER ISO REMOVE EFI HOW TO
Apple firmware knows how to read HFS+ so when you "bless" a partition the firmware directly reads the HFS+ partition.
WINDOWS STARTER ISO REMOVE EFI CODE
One area to consider is that Apple does not use the "standard" UEFI mechanism putting the initial OS loader code into the ESP partition. I have not done exactly what you are trying to do, but it should be possible. I realy want to dual boot but i realy want my snow leopard working please i realy need some help. if i try only booting my snow leopoard it shows that my operating system is missing. firstly i both os shows when i should choose the os but i can only choose windows sevenĢ.
WINDOWS STARTER ISO REMOVE EFI WINDOWS 7
Hi i am also a newbie i installed my snow leopard with Dx58so on a hardrive then windows 7 on a seperate hardrive i tried dual booting it with easybcd 2 butġ. I have attached the 32-bit oscdimg.exe file here. I currently have Windows 7 圆4 RC and Windows Vista 圆4 SP2 in a Dual boot setup in a UEFI system in a GPT disk - I use UDK/EDK2 DUET firmware for UEFI booting). Even a 32-bit UEFI 2.x firmware will not be able to launch Windows Setup. Note that Windows 圆4 versions requires a UEFI 2.x (not EFI 1.1) x86_64 (64-bit) efi firmware and compulsorily require a EFI System Partition to boot in a UEFI system. This disc will not boot in a BIOS system but it will boot in a UEFI system. After the process completes, write the Win_7_圆4_UEFI_ISO9660.iso file to a disc. Replace the "WIN64ISO" folder name by name of the folder where you extracted the Windows Setup disc files. Then type the following commands in Command Prompt. Say you copied it to D:\WIN64ISO folder.Ĭopy the oscdimg.exe file into D. For this u need oscdimg.exe file from Windows Pre-installation Kit provided by Microsoft.Ĭopy all the files from the CD (or extract the files from the ISO file using 7-zip or something else)(including the hidden/system files) in a Windows OS.
It is also possible to remove BIOS booting support from Windows Installation Disc and make it boot in UEFI mode only.
