It has been 2 weeks already, I have got stuck on the white screen when the Imac 6,1 10.7.5 tries to boot from Win7 DVD or NTFS partition.
Here is what I have done:
1 Use Boot Camp assistant to create fat partition and then it reboot and install Win7 (32 bit). I got white screen (before the black screen with cursor on the top left of the screen). I used the genuine Win7 DVD and a copy of Win7 (create an iso image and have Imac create Win7 iso file).
2. By pass the BCA, using Tuxera to create NTFS partition in the Imac and then I copied all of the files/folders from Win7 dvd and then I tried to boot from that partition. I got WHITE SCREEN.
Here is the partition report of my hard disk:
