Still curious as to why the other method might fail though - as Karl points out in the other email, its just doing a direct copy of the image file, so if the iamge is built correct then I am surprised it wont work under all circumstances. But thanks for the info - will file this away for when I have to install an EFI machine. cheers, -pete.
