After a lot of digging I can't seem to find a solution to the "Select CD-ROM Boot Type" error I get when trying to install Windows 7 64-bit (build 7100) on my MB using Boot Camp?

Does anyone know it is possible to dual-boot OSX/Win7RCx64?
(And if not, does 32-bit version install easily & dual boot?)

P.S. Used Toast 10.0 to create the disk.. If that means anything.

UPDATE: Found some disc burning software that can burn the following formats.. if that helps anyone:
UDF 1.5, UDF 1.02, MS-DOS*, Joliet* (Windows/MS-DOS)
*Option to remove Apple Extensions

As far as I'm aware, the 32-bit version does not have the "boot type" error. It's possible to fix that issue but it's a bit complex and involves modifying the ISO image. I believe that the image supplied by MS is actually "wrong" but BIOS-based systems manage to cope with the issue.

Is there a way to install it using a USB flash drive?
EDIT: Don't think this is possible. Tried loading the flashdrive with a restored image of the win7.iso with PC_EFI v8, Chameleon EFI, and Darwin bootloader but to no avail.

What is the work around for the

Maybe I was lucky, but I installed Win-7(x64) on my MBP-13" under Bootcamp 2.1 with no problems whatsoever. Runs Solidworks like a dream.
