    RC DVD Won't Boot on MacBook Pro


    I downloaded the RC ISO and burned it to a DVD and tried to install it on my MacBook Pro, but the DVD won't boot. I hold down C during boot, they gray screen comes up and the disc spins real fast for a while, but nothing happens.

    I have read that the ISO created isn't ISO compliant so you have to create an ISO that is. I followed the instructions here to do that. This didn't make a difference.

    I didn't have any problems installing the Beta, but the RC won't boot. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I've tried putting Win7 on a 4GB USB drive following the directions here. I used rEFIt to boot from the USB drive. It still won't boot.

    Has anyone else got the RC to work on a MacBook Pro?

I already have the envy, you can see my specs. I want to know if it would be worth switching to a MacBook Pro. If I did, I would want windows 7 on it for sure. Is it worth it? I love windows 7, but I also love the compatibility that Apple makes with all its stuff. Apple makes decent hardware, HP...
This pretty much explains exactly how to get started with your MacBook.
