In Windows 8, whatever it is exactly that creates the drawing animation will look for a specific second of the ACPI tables IF the OS is being booted in UEFI mode. I'm not sure how that thread relates to this one. I wonder how that worked.? Because as you can verify for yourself by searching, my thread here is the first one discussing any success of Windows 7 on GPT. I considered those cases to be a bug and did not record the particulars of which boards or BIOS versions I was using.

I added the "or any" comment in there because during my initial testing of Windows 7 on GPT disk, I was able to boot in either legacy or UEFI boot.
