G'Day All,

Has anyone managed to get Windows 7 running on the MinnowBoard?  I
have gotten Windows 8.1 to work following the instructions on the
Microsoft site, but have had no luck with Windows 7.
I have used the instructions here
(http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html)
to create a bootable USB from a Windows 7 x64 DVD but it hangs during
install start (the spinning colour windows logo freezes).  We got the
same result with the Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1 x64 IBW DVD.  We
get a 'cannot find winload.wim' error from a USB created from a
Windows 7 x86/x64 DVD.

Anybody got any ideas?

Cheers,
John
