Installation of UEFI on Alienware MX17R2 possible?

Hello

Often I see cell phones more recent you installed with UEFI instead of the BIOS. My Alienware MX17R2 still works with the BIOS, but I was curious if I could pass it to UEFI and this is recommended? If possible you can tell me how to proceed? :)

Thanks in advance!

The system needs are equipped with it. It is not something you can 'Add' to a system designed not with her.  If your laptop is capable, you can activate the mode of UEFI, but you will have to reinstall your operating system.

  • Installation of MacOS Sierra is not possible (no boot volume)

    Hello everyone

    I have an iMac with the following characteristics:

    and I'm trying to install the new Sierra of MacOS. But everytime I open the installation program, it tells me that I can't use the partition called 'Mac OS X', which is my main Mac partition on my drive of fusion, for the installation of Sierra because it cannot be used as a boot volume. Of course, it's completely absurd because I started 'Mac OS X' volume whenever I boot my Mac!

  • Windows 7 Installation on Satellite C50-A-1 possible?

    Thank you for reading my topic.

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1 and I can't install Windows 7 on it.

    I updated the BIOS V1.30 again after that, I have only the Secure Boot option to enable or disable

    There is no option to switch to the CSM or inheritance, because I know that this MUST be done before I can install Windows 7.

    Is it possible to install a Win7 on this laptop?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I ve checked the download from Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page and I see your model of laptop is not supported for Win7, so I think that it is meaningless to install if the drivers, tools, and utilities are not available for download.

    Is it possible to preform a resumption of so-called "clean" image so that the computer is only to install the required windows software and Toshiba software without third-party software such as norton, adobe, etc.?
    I have not found this option after pressing the zero key during startup.

    Unfortunately this option does not exist and it is not possible. Anyway, I don't see a problem with it.
    No one force you to use all these stuff pre-installed. After installing recovery image, you can remove all additional software system.

  • Satellite M50D - A - 10 L - installation of Windows 7 UEFI

    I m trying to install Windows 7 on TOSHIBA Satellite M50D - A - 10 L with UEFI boot.

    First time I used facility with CSM Boot EFI and it worked fine.

    But after I tried to spend in UEFI and make the installation of UEFI, whenever it starts loading setup files and after freez windows on "Starting Windows" screen.

    I have two pieces of these ultrabooks and they do the same thing.

    I used Flash disk, USB CD-ROM, two different versions of windows 7, but it have same endpoint...

    Secure boot is disabled

    I've got a Satellite M50 - A model (its similar to the M50D-A, but it was equipped with instead of ATI GPU nVidia GPU) and able to install the Windows 7 change the start mode MSC mode.

    Generally the UEFI boot mode can only be used for the system support UEFI as Win 8 or 8.1 win and some Linux distributions.
    Win 7 isn't taking system support UEFI.

    However, there are various workarounds to install Win 7 64 bit (not 32-bit) in the UEFI using the partitionstable GUID (GPT). Win 7 64 bit only contains the UEFI boot loader.

    But, very important is that UEFI installation isn t available (by default) is booting from USB due to lack of uefi boot loader! In case you use the key of USB for installation, you must add the UEFI (search in google for details) Start menu.

    Finally and above all depends on BIOS support in the case where the BIOS would only mode Setup CSM; all of these solutions workaround would be unnecessary.

  • UEFI dv5-2134us installation? How?

    I spent all day trying to get this stupid uefi bios and I'm frustrated. I downloaded the installer to uefi, the software Manager thing and tried to boot from usb and now have tried the option of partition HP_TOOLS. Nothing is different on my computer. There is no way for me to flash physically, I have tried to run the installers five times, everything they do is the thing of the configuration partition and say done. There are no new bios fantasies or whatever it is, despite my multiple attempts to restart and check the bios many times or let it start along the. Can someone please help me to install this thing once and for all? I want fast start-up times and a nice GUI in the bios.

    The most recent update of BIOS for your laptop HP Pavilion dv5-2134us Entertainment is HERE (sp60973.exe / version F.27). The HP System Diagnostics UEFI can be found HERE and you will find the HP BIOS update UEFI HERE. Both UEFI are not updated to the BIOS, they are updated to extensible firmware only. Your BIOS is compatible UEFI and these two updates of the UEFI to update only the diagnostics and failsafe BIOS extensions. If you have installed these, most likely they are installed and you notice changes in the BIOS.

  • Windows 7 (Ultimate, 64-bit) Software-Raid: possible after installation?

    Hello

    already have Windows 7 (and tons of other programms) installed. I currently plan to add another hard drive and enable Raid 0. The only thing that's keeping me currently is: I Don t want to go through a whole new installation.

    During the fist installation (upgrade from Vista), I also installed AHCI.

    (a) is it possible to activate a software raid without having to go through a whole new installation?
    (b) would it also possible to create and save an image of the current installation and then rewrite in the scratched disks?

    Any hint is appreciated.

    Thank you

    There are two types of RAID arrays.
    (1) software RAID
    (2) hardware RAID

    Hardware RAID usually requires a smart controller on the motherboard, a gigabyte or JMicron chip.

    See:
    Installation of hardware RAID on Windows 7
    http://www.nikmakris.com/blog/post/installing-hardware-RAID-on-Windows-7.aspx

    Information on the Raid Windows 7 software:
    http://www.alanjlee.com/interesting-bits/a-few-notes-on-Windows-7-software-RAID/

    Nothing is absolutely foolproof, if the chip RAID controller failure, then two readers are probably currupt.

    If I had the choice, he would be RAID 5 or 50.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Boot your PC with Win 8.1 installation disk load in the DVD player.

    Press "ESC".

    Select "Boot Menu".

    Select SATA2 (this should be your CD/DVD drive) under the terms of the Legacy devices to boot.

    Run the installation under UEFI system instead of legacy devices devices may cause this error.

  • 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.

  • Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

    I apologize in advance for the long post...

    Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

    I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

    When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

    I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

    What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

    Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

    Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

    Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

    Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

    The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

    For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

    1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

    2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

    3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

    4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

    5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

    6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

    These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

    I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

  • Installation of Win 7 RC on HP Pavilion DV6-1130sa

    I have the following questions regarding the installation of Win 7. The disc is currently containing the Vista partition and the recovery partition. I want to install then I 7 RC as a new installation on drive C with the possibility to go back to Vista if you need and have the laptop works on the original factory configuration.

    (1) if I do a fresh install of Windows 7 on the hard drive with Vista Home pre. 32 bits (including the recovery partition), the recovery partition will stop working (IE from the trunk F11 option included)?

    (2) if the recovery partition does not work afterwards, if I use my restore dvd copy I ve created, it will create the restore disk partition hard like it was form the factory? and let me go back to vista home Prem

    Please let me know if there is anyone out there who have tried the above with their HP laptops.
