[QUOTE="Shaolin Dave, post: 834885, member: 97652"] boot camp assistant partitions the drive in OS X, then you install the drivers from your recovery CD while in windows. i have no idea what BCUpdateVista64.exe does. base on my progress today and other forums, it does absolutely nothing. my previous iMac (mid-2007) installed and ran Vista64 just fine, only i had to use a vLite custom install disc to get around the EFI problem. drivers installed from the leopard retail CD with no problem. never heard of or had a reason to look for BCUpdateVista64.exe. today i got a new iMac (2009) and i'm trying to install it again. i used the same vLite disc, but not because of the EFI problem. this time installation froze at 75% using the OEM vista disc. after installing, i tried to use my iMac recovery discs to install drivers and I got a message along the lines of "Boot Camp X64 is unsupported on this computer model." now why would it work on the mid-2007 but not early-2009 iMac? i've been trying workarounds all day. no luck.
