Hi!
I desperately need help of the experts in this thread, please.
I'm trying to install Windows 8 64 bit in EFI mode on my old MacBook Pro 3.1 (2008 with NVidia) from USB disk on key.
The destination hard disk is clean with just GPT label and protective MBR.
I created the autounattend.xml file that works quite well on another UEFI machine (not Mac), installs properly and asks no questions.
However, I'm not able to proceed with the MacBook Pro after the first automatic reboot (just after the USB contents are finished copying).
I invoke bootmgfw.efi from the hard drive via EFI shell of rEFInd, but the installation doesn't proceed further.
After I switch off the machine and try to invoke bootmgfw.efi from the hard drive again, it offers me to use safe mode, but that doesn't help either.
Could you, please, instruct me what to do?
If some binary module has to be involved, can you, please, send it to
oldmbpro31@gmail.com?
BTW my internal Superdrive is broken, so I need to use USB disk.
Thanks much.
