Well the worst case scenario is they need to reinstall the software- which they do everynight anyway, but of course.. the store closed before I was able to go. I'll try again toda…

Like the goggles, the D key does nothing. The iMac made some sounds like it was contemplating trying to boot from the Vista DVD, but then decided it wasn't worthwhile and booted m…

My latest Vista install (5720 before the CTP was released) has an EFI folder in the root directory. But I'm afraid the intersection of the groups "Intel iMac owners" and "Vista bet…

Looks like someone told a lot more than "a little white lie". Booting Windows at least in a dual boot scenario should be as easy as pie. I went over to a local Mac dealer's shop an…

So al we need to do, in theory, is to re-burn the Window cd with the EFI-bootable files in there. Anybody willing to try it?

What I'm really wondering is... I wasn't sure the Vista DVD is actually written in UDF (doesn't it have an ISO/Joliet on it too?). If it's not UDF, then you ought to be able to do…
