Install Win7 x64 in GPT HD on MacBook (after 3 partitions)

[mystlynx]

requirement:

 

1. A Mac (MacBook, MBP, iMac or Mac Pro).

2. A PC with a motherboard that support UEFI Boot (most of Intel ATX motherboard support UEFI Boot, Intel 3 series above, may be).

3. A Mac OS X installation disc (Leopard or Snow Leopard) and a Windows 7 installation disc.

 

steps:

1. make GPT partitions. Use Mac install disc (Disk Utility) on Mac, or Win7 install disc (Diskpart. diskpart can make Microsoft Reserved(MSR) partition). make more than 3 partitions (exclude EFI partition), format 1-3 partitions as HFS+ (will not generate hybird GPT/MBR disk), format after partitions as NTFS.

2. Install Leopard on Mac and install Win7 on PC (use same HD. move out Mac HD and connect it to UEFI PC). and also install rEFIt and enable it.

3. move back Mac HD.

4. turn on MacBook, select "boot from Windows boot menu" or "boot from Windows EFI" in rEFIt boot manager, and press F8 quickly.

5. coming soon......I'm trying, not success yet. Win7 boot menu appearance on my MacBook, but boot failed (stoped at Loading CLASSPNP.SYS).

 

I try to boot from Win7 install disc's EFI track and press F8, Windows boot menu also appeared, but still boot failed.

Maybe modify some Windows files is necessary.
