Remove the boot loader of Windows or at least to set a different default charger (UEFI)

I tried to remove the Windows boot loader or at least the value that it is the last thing in the list of shippers UEFI to try via the BIOS Acer. Nothing sticks. Whenever I reboot, no matter what bootloader, I put it, it will just reset it using the Windows bootloader and try loading something that isn't there. I deleted the windows and the recovery partitions because I don't need them.

I installed also refined and it sets itself as the default startup at the end of the installation manager. However, as soon as I restart, something in the BIOS Acer (I guess?) is taking control and forcing the Windows boot loader entry in the first place.

Refined and Grub, both work very well if I select them using F12 during startup, but I want one of them to be the default. How can I get this stick and get rid of the Windows Bootloader?

I solved it! I had to turn on Secure Boot so that I can get to the "Select a UEFI file as being approved for execution" option (otherwise it would be gray). Then I navigated to the refined bootloader and grubx64 of Debian. I added the two, then turned off Secure Boot. For some reason, that they were still in the boot list priority and I could now move them upward.

There could be pieces of the loader of Microsoft has left again, but I don't like because now the correct charger gets called first. Wheee! The BIOS version is 1.08 and I would install 1.13 anyway. It seems that only works with Windows, however, the BIOS is impossible to himself from inside the BIOS?

Edit: Found the InsydeFlash tool. I'll try that. Edit2: Human resources management, is something closed-source they sell at ridiculous prices. So I guess I won't be upgrading the BIOS.

  • How to upgrade the boot loader?

    We have a Cisco SF300 - 48P 48-Port 10 / 100 PoE switch with Gigabit Uplinks.

    In the documentation for the new 1.3.5.x firmware, it says:

    "Before the upgrade to version 1.3.5 the bootloader must also be updated. If 1.3.5 version using the initial boot loader, file system is not updated to level, and in the future the user will not be able to upgrade to versionshigher than 1.3.5. »

    How to place the boot loader?

    I see nothing in the documents in order to establish what boot loader there.

    We are currently running firmware 1.3.0.62.

    The statistics page says:

    (Image Active) firmware version: 1.3.0.62
    (Non-Active) firmware version: 1.1.2.0
    Version of boot: 1.0.0.4

    What is the best way to properly install this firmware 1.3.5.x?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hello:

    Darren is correct, that you need to update the boot via TFTP code. His instructions are correct for when you get the TFTP server defined and loaded file in it. There are many free TFTP server applications on the net that you can download. One of my favorites for Windows is TFTPD32 (or TFTPD64 for 64-bit machines). There are both free applications Mac but I don't have that I use.

    Once you have a TFTP server installed on your machine, place the file with 'BOOT' in the name of the TFPT Server directory. Directed by Darren: go/file management and select backup/upgrade the Firmware, go to "via TFTP' and select 'Boot Code.' Put the IP address of the server or computer that runs the TFTP software and the name of the file and apply the update.

    Reboot the switch and the bootloader is now updated!

    Then follow the normal procedure for the upgrade of the firmware: go to the file management /-> Firmware Upgrade / Backup-> "via the HTTP protocol' and find your firmware file and apply.

  • Remove the address bar in Windows 7 Explorer

    Hello

    I'm trying to completely remove the address bar in Windows 7 during the exploration of the files. I spent most of the day looking for a way to do this without success. I found the NoNavBar and NoAddressBar registry settings, but those that appear to work only for older versions of windows and I found a way to disable the breadcrumbs, but I want to remove the bar completely. Does anyone know of the registry tweak or the file that I needed to change it before you completely remove? In Windows XP , it's as simple as unchecking the box to the address at the top bar.

    Blessings.

    Hi Mattya2006,

    You can not delete the address bar of Windows Explorer for Windows 7, this is the design.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find any third-party tool that will help you accomplish what you want.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

If Windows 7 keeps on loading and the DVD are never read. How can I change the options, then the boot order is changed and the DVD are read and I can install Vista.

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer support, their books online and ask in their forums (if any).

    Configuration/settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen that will tell you how-
    the order of boot on CD/DVD drive everything first. Some systems use F12 or other keys to allow a time change
    in the boot order.

  • Have two Copies of Windows XP Home Edition on the computer. How can I remove the original copy of Windows?

    Recently, I had to reinstall the operating system on my computer because I became aware of virus and I couldn't afford to take it to a professional, and I thought I could fix it myself. I decided to go ahead, but I discovered when I booted my computer, it shows the first copy of Windows as well as the new copy, which, in fact, turns out to be better than the original. Now, I would like to know how to remove the first one because it takes a lot of memory space and it for lack of place the proformance with the second copy. If it's too complicated and you think I should take it to someone who knows better than me, then so be it. If it is not too much to ask, I would like to have an answer soon enough.

    If a user is logged on Windows XP or Windows 2003 via Office system remotely is it possible to remove him/herself the boot.ini by all means?

    In a typical installation only partition of XP, it will boot fine without a boot.ini file (if not, there is another problem).

    If the boot.ini file is missing, you will see a message like this:

    Invalid BOOT. INI file
    Booting from C:\windows\

    XP always starts very well despite the message, then you can fix the missing file if that's your desire.

  • How can I remove the menu bar in Windows Explorer?

    I have Windows 7 (x 64). In windows Explorer, the menu bar will not go if I press ALT. Also, I went into the menu "Organize" and went to "provision". Display of the menu bar has been disabled. I even checked "View" tab in the folder options and the display of the menu bar option is disabled here also. I tried to restart, but which did not help either. So, what should I do? The menu bar that bothers me a lot. So, ill reinstall windows if I can't find a way to remove it.

    So I guess the menu bar also refused to go when you were in safe mode.  If so, it narrows at least it down to a Windows problem.  If the system is free of any software malicious then the fault lies with Windows being corrupt.

    If SFC has reported no problems then only clean boot procedures could narrow things down to the component of Windows 7 that is the cause of the problem.

    You may find that the boot is too tedious & skip to what is called an in Place Upgrade or repair installation using your installation DVD. It's better than a reinstall full as it leaves your applications & intact user files.
