Windows Vista, Windows 7 eller XP i 64 bit versioner på MacBook pro

“Select CD-ROM Boot Type :” prompt during Vista SP1 (or Server 2008) x64 Boot on Macbook

From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931708:

This problem occurs because the ETFSBOOT.COM program does not handle file versions according to the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9660 specification.

Note The ETFSBOOT.COM program creates the CD boot sector.

The ISO 9660 specification instructs that a name for a file record should consist of the file name that is followed by the file version. Also, the specification instructs that you must separate the file name and the file version by a semicolon. For example, the following file record is valid:

FileName;1

The Windows PE file system driver handles the file version as an option. However, the ETFSBOOT.COM program cannot locate the Setupldr.bin/Bootmgr file if you use a file version.

Note The CDimage.exe program does not append a file version to a file name in a file record.

Therefore, if you use a program other than CDimage.exe or OSCDimg.exe to create the CDFS image file, the computer does not start from the image.

The complex solution is outlined on Jowie’s Blog (in much greater detail than here)

The simple solution is as follows (taken from: Sergio Mcfly’s Blog):

1. Download Vista SP1/2008 x64 ISO from MSDN, orgrab your CD
2. Create 3 folders c:\efi-iso c:\efi-exe c:\efi-dvd
3. Download oscdimg.exe from here into c:\efi-exe (http://blog.aproductofsociety.org/files/oscdimg.exe)
4. Extract iso using 7Zip or WinRAR (Or copy the contents of the DVD) into c:\efi-dvd
5. Start up a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
6. Type: cd c:\efi-exe
7. Type: oscdimg -n -m -bc:\efi-dvd\boot\etfsboot.com c:\efi-dvd c:\efi-iso\server2008dvd.iso
