Upgrade SSD and allowing the UEFI again after you install Windows 8

Hi, having a problem w / install Windows 8 on 128 GB SSD using boot inherited (to easily boot from CD/DVD) and then return to UEFI boot sequence. Model is Dell Inspiron 17r SE. I'm absolutely not an expert on the terminology and technology, so I hope that I am using the correct terms. I removed the 1 TB disk that was originally shipped w / to settle more easily. I am able to install correctly to win 8 to the new disk (using a disc Dell win 8). After I reboot and try to come back back in the UEFI, I get a reboot constant return to the menu of the BIOS/legacy/Windows, UEFI, parameters, Diagnostic Boot Manager. Windows 8 will start only if Legacy option or boot first hard drive is selected. I DO NOT have the msata SSD, so my problem is not in the driver problem intel matrix (or whatever it's called).

I looked at the PDF of installation of windows 8 in the wiki and forums and basically tells you to put the computer in legacy mode and install Windows 8, it does not say you can return to the UEFI boot. The only thing I do not according to who download drivers SATA on USB/add iso and loading them to install. That would be the question? I wouldn't guess.

I have also tried to hit SHIFT + F10 to install and enter Diskpart, select disk 0, Clean, convert the GPT and exit and then the installation. No change. Am I supposed to completely install Windows 8, go back to install the drive, do the SHIFT + F10 sequence and then install then it would convert my GPT disk? I would assume install Win 8 would like to ask if you had UEFI and law/format accordingly.

Questions or comments, please let me know. I would like this mode to get started more quickly. It's fast now through the bios boot, but I wish it were through the UEFI.

When you use the legacy mode to install Windows 8, your setup application assumes that you want to format the SSD as a MBR disk.  That's why your system keeps jumping from UEFI.  Try to remove your current partitions (the disk must be empty to start), change your mode UEFI system configuration option and using the F12 boot menu a time.  Your computer must have an option on this menu to start your DVD/CD drive UEFI mode.  When you reach this point, remember to select the option to format the drive as a GPT disk.  UEFI mode can manage data the MBR and GPT disks, but if you want to start to UEFI, I'm sure the system drive must be a GPT formatted the player so that there the UEFI boot blocks.

  • Try to connect to the wireless computer after freshly installed Windows says I am connected to the router, but I have no internet access

    Original title: connection problem

    Hello! I recently did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and I use a wireless USB adapter. Windows says I am connected to the router, but I have no internet access, and I have this yellow on trinagle. Work of all my other Windows 7 PCs, but this one. Could someone help me? Thank you!

    Hello

    Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue. I see that you are unable to connect to the wireless network after you perform a new installation.

    I suggest you to consult the steps described in the article:

    Method 1:

    You can try the steps in the link and check.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/wired-and-wireless-network-connection-problems-in-Windows

    You can update the driver of windows 7 on the manufacturer's Web site.

    Method 2:


    You can remove and re-create the wireless network connection, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, type ncpa.cpl , and then press on Enter.
    b. right click on your wireless network connection and then click Properties.
    c. click the wireless networks tab.
    d. under preferred networks, click your Wireless
    network and then click on remove. e. click on view Wireless networks.
    f. under management of the network, click refresh the network list.
    g. under Choose a wireless network, click the wireless network to which you want to connect, and then click Connect.

    Method 3:
     

    If the steps above don't you can uninstall and reinstall the NIC drivers and check with the question.

    a. click on Start menu, in the Search tab type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.

    b. right click on network adapters and click Uninstall and restart the computer.

    c. after rebooting, install network cards and check with the question.


    Method 4:

    You can temporarily disable the antivirus and firewall on the computer and see if it helps:
    Enable or disable Windows Firewall
    NOTE: Turn off Windows Firewall might make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.
    You can see the following link to disable the Antivirus installed on your computer software.
     
    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks

    Please follow these recommended steps and post if you still experience the problem. I'd be happy to help you further.
  • It does not start after you install windows 7 on an SSD without going into the bios and clicking on the reader.

    Will change the bios fix it?  If yes how?

    CharlesR salvation,

    This concern is usually caused by an incorrect configuration of the BIOS of your device settings. If you have recently installed Windows 7, then most likely the boot priority is always set to the optical drive or USB (depending on which you have used in the installation of Windows 7).

    The BIOS settings are dependent on the manufacturer of your device, this is why we invite you to contact the manufacturer of your device for assistance by changing its settings.

  • S5-1060 casing dvd player does not recognize the Bluray disks after you restore windows 7

    I have a s5-1060 casing with a HP DH12E3LH bluray player, recently the computer was so I took out the restore disks and just do a fresh install of windows 7, it works fine now, BUT the only thing I can't understand is why my bluray in unity player not to see, recognize or play blurays now.

    The Device Manager shows the best drivers are already installed (21/06/2006 microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 driver), and he will play CD, DVD, just does not recognize a bluray disc.  I might say, we watched top of 25-30 movies on it so I 'hope' is not burned or something altogether.

    It indicates that the device is working properly in Device Manager he calls it a cdrom drive (not sure if it matters), but with a bluray in the drive, it shows under properties / status / no media in the drive.

    I'm not really sure where to start on this, drivers seem strange to be so old, is it a firmware I can update if so where can I get that info, I went to the hp site let it detect the computer saw the driver updated but nothing which was directly related to the cdrom drive.

    Thanks for any help on this just stumped at this point, as it was working before the full restoration to the computer using the recovery disks, then there must be something simple.

    Hello FTLOSM,.

    I understand that after making your computer your Blu - ray discs won't play in Windows 7. I'm you provide a document from HP support: solve the DVD and Blu-ray movie problems (Windows 7) that will guide you through the troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem. I would focus on the topic impossible to watch movies in Blu-ray 3D. I am also you provide the link to the Drivers of HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 desktop PC page.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • After you install Windows Live Mail, he keeps trying to attribute the .eml file type to itself.

    On my office workstation (Windows Server 2008 R2), I use Outlook 2010 to network and business-related emails.  I installed Live Mail 2011 for my personal mail (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc) in order to keep it separate and open it only once or twice a day.  I said to Live Mail was not the client by default, but all 60 seconds or so he tries to assign the .eml file type to itself in any case (even if it is not running).  I've got WinPatrol keeping my setup, but I don't want to say no to him, "do not allow this change" once per minute.  How can I send live to accept his secondary position and stop trying to run away with the .eml file type?

    original title: let my Filetype Alone!

    There is no default program to manage the eml file type in Server 2008 R2, and is not one that is recognized by Outlook.  I would suggest you go ahead and set the eml file type opened by WLM under control panel | Default programs.  Then you can leave it alone, I hope.  If not, then ask in the forum here WLM: www.windowslivehelp.com

  • After you install Windows XP service pack 2 on my computer the disc cd player no longer works. In addition, my printer will not work.

    • After that I put a disc in the drive it will reopen its doors.
    • I get no response when I try to print, as many ways as I can think, I used.

    If you go to the computer mftr's site. and looking for drivers for your specific model computer, they will be good. If there is a choice (as it often is with Dell machines for example), if you happen to download the wrong driver he just would not install or wouldn't work. No grand. But given that your computer is running, open the Device Manager and write the names/models of your hardware first. Then you'll know if you have an Intel card or a wireless Dell (for example). If the update of drivers will solve your problems I can't say because obviously I can't see and test your computer for myself. But it should not damage the computer. If you're worried, take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place) and have them tested and secure it.
