• Dell Precision M4700 (Windows 7 pro) starts not once configured with UEFI and Secure Boot

  To all those who can help you:

  I got a Dell Precision M4700 and I update bios A05. I was intending to move to Windows 8. Everything was fine and the bios update was successful. I started the new bios under Windows 7 Professional (base OS) factory-installed and was very good.

  However, I can't get into the bios (not even see the POST from Dell or Logo) after I activate the UEFI and Secure Boot.This before I update to Windows 8 Pro. Now I'm stuck with a blank screen (same LCD not lit) and nothing to start. It's like a dead PC.

  Help, please. Is that what I can do or should I contact Dell Support for repair?

  Thank you

  I fixed it!  Just removed the CMOS battery, the BIOS got reset back to factory default.  So I did:

  (1) remove the battery

  (2) press the power button to the case of ground

  (3) remove the lower panel

  (4) disconnect the CMOS battery (it's tedious)

  (5) I hit the power button for some time (30 s) to clear the capacitors or something else, it was my theory, but I doubt it's necessary

  (6) use it to all back to the start

  When I turned it on it turns on and turns off several times before finally stay standing and I was then able to enter the BIOS and all the settings have been restored to factory default.  I am new to Windows 7 on my machine so I'll repeat the process, this time without disabling the legacy option roms!

  Here is the disassembly for precision M6700 and M4700 instruction manual if anyone needs:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/systems/wsm4700/en/OM/om_en.PDF

  I was talking about the Dell support problem and the guy said he would talk to his superior and see if something needs to be done, so I guess we'll see if something happens.

  I hope it works for you!

• Cannot boot from CD - DVD in LEGACY mode - NO Secure Boot UEFI NOT

  You just bought an Optiplex 7010 minitower with Win 8 Pro 64 - bit, 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB HDD and an Intel i5 processor 3470.  Now he has BIOS version A16.

  It is normally ON UEFI and Secure Boot on IT and F12 at startup does NOT normally display the CD-DVD as a boot option.  OK - no problem.

  However, if I reboot with F12 and select UEFI OFF (meaning WE legacy) and Secure Boot SHUTDOWN and reboot, then F12 DON'T show me the CD - DVD as a startup option, but if I actually try to boot from a bootable CD, I get an error message.

  I practiced with two CD bootable - a Knoppix I did on a XP machine an Aomei Backupper I did on a Win 7 machine.  These CD working as in my old XP machine boot CD, and the CD of Backupper of Aomei worked someone else machine Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

  What's wrong?

  Again, please let me repeat that I am trying to boot from the CD-DVD AFTER I have turned OFF UEFI, turned on the legacy and off Secure Boot.

  Thank you.

  Speed - although you predicted, I am amazed at what I did today.

  I bought a second hard drive (in white) and installed Win 7 Pro 64 - bit SP1 on it.  (I unplugged the first hard drive which has my Win 8 Pro 64-bit.  (Later to figure out how to dual-boot - no not yet for that.)

  What struck me is that I have installed SP1 for Win 7 Pro 64-bit while my BIOS is UEFI - it's ON UEFI and Secure Boot off.  (Enable Legacy ROM is enabled.)  BIOS is the Windows Boot Manager.  The Win 7 Pro 64 - bit SP1 DVD ran perfectly on my CD - DVD unit - no problems of any kind.  The machine has restarted several times, as I adjusted it settings and added the resource of Dell Media CD drivers.

  Disk Management displays only two partitions - a little with the legend "Healthy (EFI System Partition)" and then my C:\ drive, which is indicated be NTFS and 'in good condition (boot, Page File, crash dump, primary Partition).  The properties for the entire drive 0 said "Partition Style: GUID Partition Table (GPT).

  Now - is it good or bad?  If one day I try to dual-boot, what is incompatible with the four partitions on my hard drive to win 8 (now offline)?  Install this fake Win 7?

  I'm even more amazed than the Win 7 Pro 64 - bit auto installed SP1 with a product key that is different from the product key for my Win 8 Pro 64-bit.  The Dell OEM Windows 7 installation disc done by himself - I don't have to enter anything.  Which is good news for a future dual-boot, Yes?

  I have NOT yet connected to the internet.

  Now, when I unplugged my hard drive of origin WIn 8, I disconnected the Sata data cable and used for the new hard drive Win 7 added.  If the new hard drive is connected to data SATA motherboard even as the drive of origin 8 Win.  Well, at some point when I use two hard drives, one of them should be connected to another plug SATA on the MB - but not yet.

  Well... How do I fortunately to this stage so far?

• Windows 8.1 using already updated EFI System Partition

  Hi all

  I am about to install Windows 8.1 on my machine. The thing is, I already have Arch linux installed in UEFI mode (discs are focused on the TPG etc.). My setup is as follows:

  -SSH drive with ESP (EFI System Partition) + the Linux partition

  -2 discs of data, not important now

  -1 500 GB HARD drive formatted in NTFS for Windows.

  I want to achieve is to have Windows Installer on 500GB HDD, but use 8.1 pre-existing ESP partition on SSD drive rather than create a new one.

  How would I do that?

  Hello

  Thanks for the quick response. Fortunately, last night found an answer to my question. To illustrate the question I had and the answer I found, I will dwelve on the topic a bit.

  First of all, I was about to install Windows 8.1 on workstation with Arch Linux already installed and hoped to learn before making the actual plant, while I wouldn't fix the mistakes I would have done. My configuration is:

  1. 64 GB SSD drive GPT formatted with two partitions: 512MB, FAT32 formatted the EFI System Partition. This partition serves as my partition/boot, containing the code of EFI GRUB and Linux kernel + iniramfs and of 60 GB + Linux ext4 partition.
  2. 500 GB drive HARD, drive GPT formatted, empty, I was about to install Windows on.

  Now, I learned that Windows 8.1 creates two partitions on a disk: Partition EFI system for its bootstrapper code + other things and another partition. My goal was to convince Windows to use the ESP partition on disk (1) rather than creating its own, so all codes start, regardless of the operating system resides on the same partition for: 1 win some acceleration (that's the SSD drive) and 2. Facilitate the configuration of the boot loader GRUB or Windows for dual-boot.

  I found no option to identify the ESP for Windows partition to use, that's why I posted my question.

  Nevertheless, I proceeded to the installation. Windows has detected all readers, figured out that there is already an ESP partition in the system, but not on the disk, he was about to be installed and has not created any other ESP partition on the HARD disk.

  Now, I have exactly the setup I needed: 8.1 for Windows installed on the HARD disk drive, but he left all the startup code on the partition on the SSD drive. I have configured the GRUB to call code .efi Windows

  It turns out Windows did the right thing automatically without the need for extra configuration, and my question is a bit premature.

  Thanks again for your quick response and have a beautiful day!

• What is a quick way to exit Windows 7 without using the mouse?

  On Windows XP, I could type the window then u and U key to exit.

  On Windows 7 I seem to need the mouse to exit, even if I did stop my setting of the default button.

  In addition, Windows 7 wants to drag me through a few caveats that I've closed everything.

  Sometimes, it's just my email that is open or a file folder, then there is no pending work.

  But I want to just close without the quiz on my understanding of the risks of loss of work, etc..

  I know that some applications such as Norton and Windows update can simply kill all ongoing enforcement programs to restart

  during the installation of updates, so the 'risk' is not worth the constant reading.

  Here are the steps to stop Windows 7 without using the mouse:

  Press Windows (Windows key).
  Release it
  Press the right arrow key
  Press ENTER key

  If you don't want warnings to stop, you can create a shortcut on the desktop with the command-line ' shutdown/f' and assign a key combination.

  See the following link for more shutdown command line options:
  http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Windows7/windows7_shutdown_command.htm

  Once you create the shortcut icon on the desktop, you right-click on the icon, select Properties. In the shortcut tab, you can assign a key under the shortcut key combination to launch this program.
