    Yeah, I didn't say it was easy or recommended *Wink

    Use at your own risk: Booting Windows 7 from a GPT Disk Using BIOS (non-UEFI)

    There are lots of other ways - all non-standard Windows and aren't worth the effort.

    Using a SD card or Thumbdrive for the boot at least preserves some Windowness.
    I used a SD card to boot but abandoned the project - but it was fun testing.
