Intel iMac ‘boots’ Windows Vista CD
Published January 19th, 2006 in Apple, Microsoft, Noteworthy, Technology
kay i was messing around with the efi loader, and i put vista dvd files/folders on a removable drive (usb). i then got to the “boot from file” selection on the boot loader and navigates to the vista cdrom.efi file on the drive. i hit enter andi got a boot screen! i took pics and i’ll put them up in a moment!
I was expecting it to take a little while longer, but wow! So you can nearly install Vista onto the Intel iMac. So what’s the problem? Well it isn’t the CD it boots from, but a USB Flash drive with the files from the CD on. The screen says “press enter to boot from CD” but it does nothing because there is no CD inside. Well progress has been made! Let’s see what is to come…
