Surely if you wanted to install Windows on a disk containing ChromeOS, you would just wipe the disk and re-partition it? I suppose perhaps you're talking about dual-boot though? Either way, it doesn't see like a good idea to be using non-standard EFI signatures - especially if the idea is to hide the GPT from Windows, and presumably then have Windows use the MBR partitions, since that will end up with a decidedly non-standard partition setup; some partitions will only be represented in the MBR (those Windows creates) and some in GPT (presumably whatever ChromeOS created before). _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
