  I appriciate your help.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

  In order to achieve that you need, please read these articles and follow the steps.

  You must first remove the EFI partition Ubuntu (actually, I think ths is what you see)

  After that, you can remove the HDD MBR GRUB using bootrec.exe /fixmbr and /FixBoot Bootrec.exe (this is done using CD/DVD recovery Windows or with Windows 10 - >ISO)

  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.

• Satellite C50 - B with Win 8.1 - PXE error is displayed using the UEFI boot mode

  I have a laptop of C50 - b under Win 8.1 and recently needed to boot from a USB stick so finally found the way to do it (missing the start of the first bios menu) and managed to do.

  My problem is same when I returned in the uefi and set the boot order local drive, cd, network, he asks every time that I want to start PXE IP4, IP6 then IP4 and IP6 again. I also disabled secure boot

  I think that a value is missing, when I went to the BIOS and return to the start of IEFU option, but where is the laptop get the setting to tell him to network/PXE boot when the bottom of the list and the wake we LAN is disabled.

  Exactly, secure boot must be enabled in order to boot from the internal HARD disk where the 8.1 for Windows has been installed.

  If you want to boot from external sources (IE USB flash memory stick) you will need to disable secure boot.

• New SSD UEFI boot [U430 touch]

  Hi all

  My Lenovo U430 touch came with a Samsung 128 GB SSD.

  As it became a bit on the small side, I decided to replace it with a Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD.

  My first thought was to clone the old SSD and then resize partitions later. I quickly ran into trouble, the cloning has not worked. So I decided to start from scratch. So, I installed the new SSD and installed a Windows Pro 8.1 installation naked.

  Although everythings works one thing is still bugging me.

  For the new Samsung SSD to be bootable, I must:

  -Disable secure boot

  -Allow the start of the legacy

  Why is this?

  I thought about all the necessary codes were a BIOS / OS thing?

  * This was done a few months ago, it came just once again that I upgraded my BIOS and the laptop don't boot *.

  Thanks in advance for any suggestion or help

  well done secure boot part of the key of Windows 8/8.1 that is embedded in the bios and check the boot image, so if you install windows 8/8.1 pro or normal CD it will give the error box saying non-secure OS detected which means that it rejected your copy unaudited operating system which is not verified in secure boot so that the why it must be turned off.

  Reason 2: for UEFI only works if you have a bootable UEFI your ona windows USB key copy, so it can use UEFI and GPT instead of MBR since MBR mode only works in legacy mode and no UEFI, for uefi to work you gota difficulty one copy USB windows 8/8.1 with rufus and select UEFI & TPG box and then hit create so it will iso copy USB as a device of UEFI boot so it can use the UEFI

• Z580 UEFI boot problem

  Hello everyone,

  I recently bought a Z580 (product number 59362732), provided without a pre-installed operating system. I installed a Crucial SSD (instead of the HARD drive) with success and replaced the DVD drive with disc HARD original.

  After installing Win7Pro and all drivers provided on the SSD (UEFI boot is set to on, SATA AHCI mode prior to installation) I am facing a strange startup problem - it seems not every time, but the laptop often just hangs after the Lenovo logo disappears and restarts itself and, as if he could not find the partition to boot from. However, in the configuration of the BIOS, everything seems normal - it recognizes both of my drives. This problem appears on the two UEFI on and off the start, but strangely, Windows starts without any problem after activating/deactivating the UEFI BIOS Configuration option - it doesn't matter if the activation or deactivation. I have searched for the solution on the Internet but haven't found any solution. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you, feki1409

  Hi Zoltan,

  Thanks for your advice in the first place! I tried to update the firmware, but it failed at some point during the installation. As I looked at the site of Crucial, the update is not guaranteed to work on UEFI/GPT disks, so I'll have to wait until the right driver is started.

  However, I tried to fix by using the EasyBCD utility startup files, as a friend advised me. The problem does not appear since then (4 start-up), so I hope that this is resolved for now. It was probably caused by my fault during the installation/system tweaking. I'll definitely keep you posted on this.

  Thanks again,

• ACER ASPIRE E5-511-ADD DEVICE USING THE UEFI BOOT.

  Hello. I bought a laptop Acer Aspire with Linux preinstalled E5-511. I want to install windows 8.1.

  I created with Rufus TPG bootable USB flash with win8.1 image. UEFI mode the laptop does not recognize the USB, I have turned off secure boot, put the USB - HDD on the top of the boot priority but in vain.

  In legacy BIOS mode, I can boot and install windows, but the touchpad mouse does not work, only the USB mouse functions.

  How can I add UEFI boot USB flash?

  Thank you in advance.

  You did right, but sometimes the USB interfaces are not recognized by the system, I had some problems with a pair of USB pen which has not worked as a boot device, but another one worked smoothly.

  don't forget to have your HDD or USB pen in FAT32.

• HP 17.3 E0067cl UEFI BIOS. boot order fails.

  It won't work, create backup USB flash, "" create the recovery disk ".

  It just shows the "daisy" spinning throughout the day.  on a brand new laptop HP, 20 July 2014, new in box.

  I just ran sfc /scan now and spend.

  my best guess it that windows update to 8.0 (100) killed this "feature".

  or my 8.1 updated. (toss the coin)

  I ordered the new installation of HP for $18 disc...

  so bad to close this topic, with "operator error", never update then try running to build your own, backup media.

  RIP

  later...

  the second problem is that the bios does not allow. My next update.

  a new SSD.

  I got it to work.  but the BIOS does not see the two disks. ! (in bios boot order) UEFI.

  I solved this problem by removing the 2 left 1, the old HARD disk.

  now the SSDS works like the lighting and the BIOS, can be ignored.

  I used Acronis to make the all the steps above tib files and evolutions'm so good... and made and a huge external drive.

  problem solved.

  This has something to do with what we were talking about earlier on recovery and flash player?

• [Inspiron SE 7720] UEFI boot from USB does not work

  Hello

  I just bought a Dell Inspiron 17R 7720 special edition. It came with a Windows preinstalled 8 (up to 64 bits and mandatory boot UEFI). I want to use Linux (specifically, Archlinux) for the work and Windows for games, so double boot is necessary.

  I'm almost finished installing Linux except for the boot loader: I need to start Linux from UEFI and has failed to do so far. Here's what I did after I got the PC:

  • Secure Boot disabled;
  • updated the BIOS to the version A12 (maybe I shouldn't...);
  • resized the main Windows partition and created a few partitions for Linux;
  • legacy startup mode and managed to start an installation of Archlinux MBR bootable USB drive.
  • most of the system installed
  • switched back to UEFI boot mode, Secure Boot off.

  At the moment, I needed the UEFI kernel startup Setup Bootstrapper to have access to the EFI environment variables. So I created an installation of Archlinux UEFI-bootable USB drive (with a FAT partition) but so far I could not able to boot successfully to this car of UEFI instead of Windows 8.

  I think I tried every single combination, such as:

  • different USB ports;
  • different startup entries created with F2 installation boot, with different parameters.
  • different commands for start-up entries;
  • has hit my startup entries directly in the F12 boot menu.

  Anything in the startmode of the system always the Windows partition UEFI.

  Also, I couldn't find any relevant documentation manual or software on the A12 BIOS on the Dell site, I missed something?

  The solution that the user described in this thread for UEFI boot on a DVD has not worked for me with a USB key.

  If anyone had the same problem or has a solution or even information about it? UEFI is really starting to give me headaches on this machine!

  Thank you for reading.

  Try to go into the Advanced Boot Options.   Hold down the SHIFT key while as a RESTART to win 8.  This will get you to a page that will have an option called "Other devices" (from memory).    Choose that and you will have all features of the device as USB. First of all give it a try and I'm sure there is an easier way to start Linus directly more later.

• CRC of the MBR or UEFI boot loader changes at each reboot?

  I have a Fujitsu Esprimo desktop running Windows 7 Professional.  Whenever I restart, it stops before loading Windows with the following message:

  "The CRC of the MBR boot drive or the UEFI boot loader has changed since the last system startup.
  Press a key to enter setup. »
  To continue, I need to go into the BIOS Setup, output without any change, then Windows loads normally.  This repeat on the next reboot.
  I have run chkdsk on the drive system (c :)), and no problem not found.
  What would do this, and how can I change it?

  I have never activated this setting on my laptop. I don't know exactly what it checks - if it's just the MBR or other things like Bootmgr and BCD. On a system with only Windows 7 installed, I don't expect the MBR and Bootmgr to change after installation. If this started after an update? Reliability Monitor may show changes with has occurred around the time it started.

  I guess that the Fujitsu support have verified that you have the most up to the date of the BIOS. Have you tried to disable the warning of viruses and then allowing him once again in which case it must be reset? Even if it is a boot virus, I don't expect to be changing in order to cause the detection at each start. If you want to eliminate this possibility, it is preferable to use a virus scan offline as Windows Defender in offline mode.

  An outside possibility is that Webroot is something clever with these files that is causing the problem.

  You can reset the MBR and Bootmgr using the method here:

• Anyone got the DVD to the UEFI boot?

  I used the normal Wizard to download and allowed him to install supports for the upgrade of Windows 8.  The flash drive seems to work fine and boots by using UEFI.  The DVD does not work...!

  Anyone find this is the case?  Surely Microsoft would not put in place the DVD option to not allow to boot in a UEFI configuration...

  I looked quickly the directory structure and it seems to be OK, so I have to assume that there is something on the way is built the .iso image file, if it is a problem of Microsoft.

  Indeed, ISO created by the Wizard Windows 8 upgrade does not boot UEFI support. The files in the ISO are beautiful (file \efi), but the boot images are broken. To start in UEFI since CD/DVD mode, it must be a special boot image that allows to start the EFI boot in \efi\boot. ISO created by the wizard upgrade of Windows 8 has only the boot image standard for the normal BIOS boot mode, while the preview of Windows 8 ISO has two boot images, BIOS and UEFI mode.

  The solution is to build a new ISO file, with two boot images. Boot images are available in the ISO file system. I have sucessfully built ISO with the Microsoft tool "oscdimg. To obtain the tool, or download the evaluation of Windows and the Deployment Kit (ADK) from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652 or download just the tool of http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2011/09/17/converting-a-win8-install-directory-to-an-iso/
  In addition, mount the ISO file with a virtual DVD drive, or insert the DVD into a real DVD player. In the following example, it is assumed that the Windows 8 DVD is in drive g:
  Now, create the ISO fixed (including the UEFI boot image) with the command:
  Oscdimg.exe-o-u2-udfver102-bootdata:2#p0,e,bg:\boot\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,bg:\efi\microsoft\boot\efisys.bin g:\ d:\path\to\new\win8pro-uefi.iso m
  Burn the new ISO on a DVD file. I used InfraRecorder and boot from DVD in BIOS and UEFI mode worked well. Note: I have not tested a whole plant, but only until the first dialog box installation program.
  Have fun

• UEFI boot + Windows 8 support?

  I'm looking for a VM solution that supports virtual 8 Windows to boot from UEFI computers. It seems currently vSphere 5 does not yet support windows 8 and 8 work stations. However, after the description of product, I saw vSphere claims to support UEFI boot but WorkStation 8 does not work.

  What is the recommondation here? In order to get the two taken in charge should I wait for Windows 8 is supported in vSphere?

• UEFI boot

  I have an E130 with Windows 7. It is the pre-installed lenovo system and it ist installed mode non-UEFI.

  I would like to install a Win7 64 bit with UEFI boot fee. But if I change the boot method in UEFI only, it will not start up key USB USB-drive oder.

  I just do:

  -install the latest BIOS 2.52

  -J' followed the instructions for making a USB bootable for UEFI

  -J' disabled startup security

  When I boot with only UEFO, I see a start menu and can choosw the USB - cd or the USB drive as a boot device. but nothings happens, if I press Enter on these points. Only in legacy mode the two mediums will start correctly.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks, Bernd

  I don't always know the reason why boot from the original DVD of Windows 7 x 64 does not work.

  But I solved the problem with the usb key. I've renamed the bootx86.efi in bootx64.efi and everything works.

  Thanks for your ideas.

• C50-30 guard reset of the UEFI boot sequence

  Fedora 22 works fine on the C50-30 and starts fine with Secure Boot. However I still have to press F12 and select manually the Fedora shim on each (re) start, because for some reason any firmware guard reset the boot order to put Windows first.

  No matter if I move Fedora over Windows boot manager in the configuration utility, or efibootmgr allows you to change the order. After leaving the installation utility, the command is immediately reset to zero.

  I missed another adjustment here, or is this a bug in the firmware? BIOS version is O1XKT06AUS.

  It's a bug in the firmware. No problem if I rename \EFI\Microsoft to something else and make a new entry EFI (and adjust the GRUB configuration).
