In any case I managed to install Windows 7 by using the imgburn method, and using my PC at work to create a new install disk. Worked the first time, so now I'm happy!

Can you send me the output? Are you still having the issue? I don't remember specifically doing anything there but then my machine has quite a few libraries and things installed as I do quite a bit of development, I may have something installed that you don't. Also, can you tell me what version of Mac OS, Xcode and what version of gcc is default: To find out the version of gcc, run the following in Terminal: ls /usr/bin/gcc -l For reference, I have Mac OS X 10.6.2, XCode 3.1.3 and gcc 3.4.

I've got the developer tools installed and have been banging my head against a wall trying to get the tools to compile. At this point I'm trying to get smake to compile so I can try that, but its not working either. Do you remember if you had to do anything special to get it to install correctly? I was so excited to find a way of installing without having to install my old XP just so I can re-burn the install DVD... I’m feeling really stupid, but I can’t get past the make stage of cdrtools.

I kept getting the "Select Boot CD" error because of weird EFI issues. Using this guide I made a workable DVD for installing Windows 7 64bit within bootcamp. I did have to modify the path to the bootable image. I changed it from "efi/bcd" to "boot/etfsboot.com" and everything worked fine. It was nice to do this all within OSX and not to have to find a Windows machine to use other tools on. Thank you so much for thf help. I searched all over and finally found this info.
