here's an OSX port and enhancement i made to help creating hybrid MBR partitions on GPT drive.
Code came from project rEFit: http://refit.sourceforge.net/
The package below contain the gptsync command line tool for Mac OSX Leopard.
Source code is available here: https://github.com/JrCs/gptsync
You can download the package here:

Er...then how did I install Windows 7 on my Hackintosh?Windows 7 does support reading and writing GPT disks, but not booting from them, unless the computer uses EFI for firmware, rather than a BIOS. (I've corresponded with somebody who's used a post-BIOS EFI implementation to work around this limitation, but that's currently an awkward solution that doesn't work on all computers -- I couldn't get it to work myself, for instance.) So in a dual-boot environment with Windows and a need or desire to use GPT, you must have either multiple disks (at least one MBR for Windows to boot and at least one GPT) or a hybrid MBR configuration.

There are several possibilities:
- Your computer uses MBR rather than GPT
- Your computer uses a hybrid MBR (GPT+MBR) rather than a "pure" GPT
- Your computer has EFI-enabled firmware
- Possibly something else I'm forgetting
Without more details on your configuration, I can't narrow it down further than that; however, #2 seems to be quite common; many people run hybrid configurations and aren't even aware of it.

gptsync fill hybrid MBR of GPT drive DEVICE.
Specified partitions will be a part of hybrid MBR. Up to 3 partitions are allowed.
+ means that partition is active (only one partition can be active).
TYPE is an MBR hexadecimal type (use -t option to list recognized types).
Valid options:
-e, --empty create an MBR containing only the EFI Protective partition
-n, --nofill don't try to protect unused partition
-t, --types list the MBR recognized type codes
-h, --help display this message and exit
-V, --version print version information and exit
examples:
sudo gptsync /dev/disk1 1 2+af
sudo gptsync /dev/disk1 2+

Apart from that, I would love to get Grub4DOS going on a GPT partitioned drive - anybody know how to?
