Vista SP1 and EFI on MacBook Pro

Looks like I need to update my triple-boot procedure with instructions for fixing the EFI bug that Vista SP1 introduced. The procedure requires a box running windows (sadly), and a utility called oscdimg.exe which I’ve mirrored. Here’s a quick rundown of the procedure posted at http://blog.aproductofsociety.org/?p=13:

  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 into c:\efi-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
