Hi,
I have one partition that is EFI, one partition that is OS 10.4 (with /efi for reFit), one partition that is Ubuntu 9.04 (with grub).
I recently created a fourth partition and installed Windows 7 from the CD. It seemed to work fine. However, reFit does not recognize it upon startup. I can boot into it by leaving the Windows 7 CD in the drive. What do I need to twiddle to make refit see Windows 7 on the fourth partition?
Also, notice that my GPT and MBR tables are not in sync. But it's the MBR one that is correct. Refit offers a facility (gptsync) to fix the MBR, but it's the GPT that I want changed. I don't intend to have a linux swap partition. I initially created my Windows partition by converting my linux swap partition into an NTFS partition.
I don't have Boot Camp, so I'm doing this the hard way.
