[QUOTE="Bassi, post: 894740, member: 100993"] EDIT: The title should say: Installing win 7 from a USB flash drive. I am having trouble getting my Intel iMac to boot from the usb drive I've copied my windows 7 files onto... When the EFI started to boot up I hold down the option key, but all the "boot options" I get is just the OS X partition and the partition I made for windows. Then I tried installing rEFIt to see if that would see my USB drive, but It didn't... So how do you get a mac's openfirmware ("bios" if you will) to boot from a USB with windows files on it? It's can't be that freakin' hard. [/QUOTE]
