[QUOTE="Bassi, post: 996425, member: 100993"] I have a Intel iMac, rev. 8,1.. Bought November 2008. I am trying to install Windows 7 32 bit on it.. I have already wiped it clean and used a Windows 7 64 bit DVD to install. But I've chosen to go back to 32 bit... But I've run out of DVD's. So now I am trying to install from USB and I can't get the **** EFI to boot from my usb.. I've used this guide to make my USB bootable: [url=http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/]Install Windows 7 From USB Drive/Pen Drive[/url] That've worked pretty good for me in the past.. But maybe's the bootcode I installed to my USB pen only works with Microsoft BIOS and not with Apple EFI? And as I only have WIn 7 64 bit installed I don't get boot options in the EFI menu when I start the machine. Not even when I plug my newly bootable windows 7 USB stick in... I have a hunch I just need to hold down some weird key or something to get it to boot? Or isn't it that simple? [/QUOTE]
