[QUOTE="dragorth, post: 32339, member: 2769"] [b]Really?[/b] The UEFI spec calls for fat32 partitions being readable, not ntfs. When formated as ntfs, the usb stick would not be detected by the Mac UEFI. I did not use rEFIt, as I have been having issues with lion. (refit does not solve all the problems, I usually get an error when using it, at least from the windows 8 boot options) I have tried with the drive clean, with the drive pre partitioned according to the Microsoft requirements for uefi, and with OSX installed. In all cases, windows 8 gives me the message "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Instalation cannot proceed."
