I too am looking for dual booting support for Windows 7 EFI 64 bit booting. Here is my configuration:

 

Dell D630 Laptop, One Hard Disk 3 Partitions

 

Partition 1: 200MB EFI Partition created by Windows 7

Partition 2: 150GB Partition, Windows 7 64 bit

Partition 3: 90GB GUID Partition, Mac OSX 10.5.6 with EFI v9 and stock kernal, imaged from another hard drive

 

The Hard disk currently boots Windows 7 64 bit via the 200MB EFI partition. I would like to use the Windows 7 boot loader to handle the dual booting and add the Mac OSX partition as a second choice. I'm not sure if EasyBCD 2.0 can modify the hidden boot loader on the hidden 200MB EFI partition.

 

Does anyone know how to setup this dual boot scenario?

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help on this setup.

Sorry if this question seems stupid but I'm really interested as to know if windows 7 will support GPT on non-efi systems!!

 

So, did windows 7 install to the GPT partition without sync with MBR?
