• HP envy m6-n012dx: UEFI mode change in Legacy mode

  Hey I want to change my boot option to the legacy of the uefi mode mode. can someone help me.

  Hello

  If your HARD drive has of a table partition guid, the current operating system must be installed in mode "uefi" - the only way around this would be to reformat the hard disk with MBR and reinstall the OS using a startup (CD-ROM or USB key) option that does not have a suffix (uefi).

• Yoga 20175 13 fresh install UEFI mode

  Hello.
  I had problems to install a new copy of Windows 8 in UEFI mode lately. The software I'm using is original, and I installed Windows 8 in other laptops with it have no problem. The situation is that it does not work, but I am able to use the computer with Windows 8. Everything goes well during the installation, on the one hand: in the end it does not show me the option to connect to the Internet wireless.

  Once I can get to install the Ethernet driver and try to turn it on, it shows me an ad that says that the key is already used by another machine.
  I know in the mode UEFI activation code is preloaded into the machine, and I'm not comfortable paying another key.
  Is could someone please tell me what I'm missing?

  Hi TheTechGal,

  AFAIK, the standard license for Windows is 1 license for 1 PC. Unless it's a Volume license key, you will not be able to activate Windows on another PC.

  You can also check the PC where you have used the product key and uninstall using the method below so that you can use the same product key to activate Windows on another PC:

• G4-2040TX Pavilion: laptop does not start in UEFI mode

  Hi all. I have a problem with my laptop. In my laptop BIOS (InsydeH20 03.72.32F.26), there is an option to turn the traditional way. I formatted my drive of thumb (v220w HP 8 GB) to FAT32 using Rufus and create bootable UEFI with her. After that restart, change the legacy mode to disable, reboot again and it says 'Device not found Boot (3F0)', it's normal right? Since I changed the mode of inheritance, but after you press F9 (menu Boot Device), is empty. Return the error code and press F2 (diagnostic) because it focuses on UEFI too, but what I get is "diagnosis HP worm. 1.6.0.0"and I already installed ver 5.9.0.0, so I made a conclusion that my BIOS is broken/corrupted and touched my UEFI mode. All Solutions? Thanks in advance

  PS: Sorry if I'm a noob or my English is not good

  The tutorial will explain to a GPT format. Article will be also describes the creation of a system associated with EFI partition, which is required for an operating system to boot into EFI mode.

  Disable legacy mode is expected to start-up in EFI if the hard drive and the OS are configured in a GPT partition with a correct BCD file and the EFI partition.

  I would test this on a spare hard drive if I were you. I always do it this way to avoid the startup scenarios when no bad experience types of partitioning. It gives me a 'B' plan to fall back on, just in case things go south.

• Install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with UEFI mode

  Hello world! So I'm here to talk about the installation of Windows 7 for the UEFI mode and I know a lot of people said it stucks on "Starting Windows" during installation, but I have a few question that my opinion:

  1. If a hard disk has come to Windows 8/8.1 with OEM or retail as installed, it should disable Secure Boot?

  2. If Windows 7 it remains stuck, the solution most is all in a hard drive format after Windows 8/8.1 backup partition and install Windows 7 with UEFI without getting stuck? I need to install it with TPG...

  Hope will understand. ;-)

  Secure boot is integrated in the firmware, not the installation hard disk.

  You can just boot from the installation media and format the hard drive.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

• Locking ESXi 4.1 mode access confirmation no access to the vCenter Server

  Hello

  ESXi 4.1.  I see options in conflict with access to a crowd that had lockdown normal mode activated via a server vCenter VM on a host in the cluster.  The vCenter server that sits on one of the hosts in the cluster lockeddown then became inaccessible or unresponsive connectivity wise.  So no connectivity between vCenter VM or VM vCenter and hosts.  Is someone can confirm if you can connect to this host lockedown by DCUI with root and disable lockdown configuration to allow the vSphere client to then connect to the host with root and troubleshoot the server vCenter VM?

  I read in some messages that this is only possible if the vCenter VM is in place and the communication to the host.  I also read that it is possible no matter what the State of the vCenter server once Total lockdown (disabling DCUI) is not enabled.

  I have this reference of the 'The new lock in ESXi 4.1 Mode' blog http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2010/09/the-new-lockdown-mode-in-esxi-41.html

  "With active locking Mode, the only direct access to the host that remains open is through the DCUI. This allows to perform administrative tasks limited outside vCenter Server, such as restarting the management agents and the display of the log files. In addition, you can also disable Mode of Lockdown since the DCUI. This can be useful if vCenter Server is down or unavailable, and you want to return to a direct management of the host. Normally, without locking Mode, any user to the Administrator role can open a session in the DCUI.  However, in lock Mode, the root password is necessary; no other user can connect.

  Can anyone confirm.

  Any other person who may not be sure these questions, I can confirm that with root credentials, you can connect to the host directly and disable the lock mode regardless of the availability of vCenter.  Only if the Total lock mode turned on, or should I say DCUI is disabled, then you have no choice but to go through vCenter or reinstall and reconfigure the network.  VM would be always available if local or have to be reassembled and re inventoried etc.

• Y at - it a recovery disk, we can purchase for the X220T for UEFI mode?

  As my topic asks,

  Given that normal disks only works for legacy mode (btw, he correctly aligns the recovery with the SSD partition?).

  Your comments are very much appreciated!

• Understand the Maintenance of Esxi and Standyby mode

  Dear all,

  I would like to understand about maintenance mode, for example, I have two hosts in a cluster and I need to update the firmware on A host. Now, before I do that I want to migrate the virtual machine to host B, then now host A is free. Now I can immediately turn off host A and start the procedure of firmware upgrade OR first of all I have to say for this host go into maintenance mode and then turn off?

  Secondly, I would like to have a clear understanding of the standby mode? Can I put a host in standby for the firmware update or other maintenance activities?

  Thank you

  Yes, exactly.

  When you click on enter the Maintenance Mode, the host is in maintenance mode right now, but just start this task. The host will enter maintenance mode once all virtual machines are moved.

• Satellite NB10T: Want to install Win 7 but cannot change the UEFI in MSC mode

  Hello

  I know that it isn't the best article at the post office, but there is no instance void for my computer (Satellite NB10T) series and this problem is bound to win 8
  I'm stuck at the moment: I disentailed 8 victory because I want to go back to 7

  I am aware of
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
  The problem is that I did not mode Boot under advanced system configuration option; the only thing I can do is enable or disable secure under the Security tab, startup mode which isn't enough

  I also added a supervisor password. It adds a clear keys for secure boot option, but still nothing on the Advanced tab to move to the Csm.
  Clearing keys does not work too.

  I tried to boot multiple linux distro and win7 on usb bootable (theses work on other computers), but no luck. Boot order usb first value of course).
  What can I do?

  Edit: will put some pictures of the uefi

  You posted the screenshots of the configuration of Toshiba utility.
  The boot mode must be changed in the BIOS settings.

  To access the BIOS of the laptop must be turned off.
  Then put the unit BUTTON and press F2 to enter the BIOS.

  In the BIOS, you will find the necessary options: secure boot must be disabled and the UEFI mode must be changed to MSC mode

• Satellite Pro C50: Installation of Win 7 using the UEFI boot mode

  I want to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Sat Pro C50 (downgrade if you like - comes with 8 win), but I want UEFI boot, with GPT partitioning.
  I'm happy wipe existing partitions if that solved the problem.

  I have disabled _have_ Secure Boot.
  Win 8 install DVD boot works;
  CSM boot and boot from Win 7 DVD works - but this is not what I want.
  Definition of return to the UEFI boot and install Win7 boot media - hangs on "Starting Windows" screen

  I'm not convinced that it is a problem of Microsoft.

  Hello

  On Toshiba laptops, where the UEFI BIOS is available, it of necessary to disable secure boot and change the boot to the CSM mode in order to boot from external sources and install systems other than Win 8 or 8.1 Win

  Of the workarounds in the internet described the installation of Windows 7 in UEFI mode but I doubt that this will be possible on Toshiba laptops because the BIOS is different and modified for each series of laptop.

• How to install W8 in Mode for Lenovo Ideapad Z510 UEFI?

  Hello world

  I've been struggling with the w8 installation on my laptop Ideapad z510 in UEFI mode, but not I could succeed it or me I found something that might help. I will explain clearly the case.

  Point 1:
  As I understand it, for successful installation in UEFI format w8, we need choose the mode of 'First UEFI"from the Boot Menu in the BIOS. Then, the source of the shoe must be specified to identify the rigid path to documents to be loaded so that the new OS could be installed correctly.

  Pharmacodependance1:
  It is possible to choose UEFI boot mode first, but it is not possible to choose the USB for UEFI boot path in this case, which does not allow to succeed a UEFI boot to your computer. You cannot reach the DVD or USB, the installation files are, and start the installation process.

  Point2:

  If we consider the first case, you must choose the Legacy Support of your computer startup mode and achieve the USB or DVD drive to install the new operating system on the computer.

  Problem2:
  To succeed the UEFI mode when the computer starts, you should see 4 different partitions on your drive to the point of disc selection, if you choose the disk you install your operating system. However, when you select the Legacy Support in BIOS mode, the disk partition is limited to 2 in my case, that are:

  • Main drive
  • Reserved system (350 MB)

  That is why, when I continue the installation, the OS is installed on the traditional way. After installation, when I go into the BIOS to choose the UEFI boot mode for mode, the laptop checks some network connections and said

  • EFI network failure 0 for IPv4
  • EFI network failure 0 for IPv6

  respectively.

  So, advice, aid, ideas and suggestions are gladly welcome to overcome this problem. Could you please help me?

  PS: Please don't say that "you can't install because your computer does not support", because I have received computer technical service and a W8 version has been installed in UEFI mode. However, I deleted to install W8 pro.

  Greetings,

  Okan

  First of all, your bootable USB key must be created in the UEFI. Just google and you will find solutions.

  You can install W8 mode UEFI. Just allow to boot from USB in BIOS, select Exit Saving changes and restart.

  I think it's your basic problem. Let me know if you have already done this and still having the problem.

• Questions for the material on the VMS created as the GPT Partitions on ESXi 5.5 / 6.0
