[QUOTE="arkhi, post: 32375, member: 570"] Hmm.. Which mac do you have, by any chance? Not the OS version, but the actual mac product? :) Just to add a couple of facts that I know that I'm trying to piece together in regards to your problem: For Windows: Can only boot from [B][U]U[/U][/B]EFI through a GPT disk on a UEFI 2.0 64-bit implemented firmware This is because only the 64-bit versions of Windows are designed to be booted from UEFI For Macs/Apple:[list] *Macs uses EFI 1.1 32-bit mode for most of its OSX Tiger and Lepoard. It was fairly recent (2008-9ish maybe?) that they implemented 64-bit EFI. *I can't say for sure if the [I]even newer[/I] ones already implemented UEFI 2.0.[/list] Doing some research, this post from Apr 2010 ([url]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2407582?start=0&tstart=0[/url]) stated: [/QUOTE]
