[SOLVED] Attempting to boot from USB key in UEFI mode

I am attempting to boot from a USB Key in UEFI mode to dual boot windows 8 and arch linux.  I'm unsuccessful in getting the USB key to boot in UEFI mode. 
I am following the guide on page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface due to the fact that I am receiving error " No loader found. Configuration files in /loader/entries/*.conf are needed."
I am attempting to use the archiso media and have created refind.conf according to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31894#comment102233 in (USB)/EFI/boot/refind.conf
However, I'm stuck on the initial step from the wiki: Install refind-efi pkg. In the usb's filesystem, overwrite the file EFI/boot/bootx64.efi with /usr/lib/refind/refind_x64.efi.
My question is: How do I install the refind-efi package onto the USB key using an arch linux host machine and the USB plugged into the machine.

This is my thought, too. The "memory map has changed" message sounds like the firmware is messing with the way memory is laid out in the middle of the boot process. A firmware update, if available, is likely to be the best way to deal with this problem. If not, trying Fedora's patched GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2 are also worth doing; it's conceivable that one of them includes a workaround for the problem.
2. In your first posting you mention Windows 8 on this machine. Is W8 starting in uefi mode?
This is important, but if the disk uses GPT partitioning, then Windows is starting in EFI mode.
3. If W8 is starting in uefi mode, are you sure that secure boot is disabled?
It is; if it weren't, neither rEFInd nor ELILO could start -- or even if they were configured to start in Secure Boot mode, ELILO doesn't launch its kernels in a way that respects Secure Boot, so the ELILO failure can't be caused by Secure Boot. Also, when launched with Secure Boot active, rEFInd returns a clear error message about a security violation and then returns to its main menu; it doesn't hang the computer.
One possible workaround occurs to me if all else fails: Have rEFInd launch a BIOS version of GRUB. The setup procedure, in outline, is as follows:
Create a BIOS Boot Partition on the disk.
Install the BIOS version of GRUB 2.
Configure rEFInd to include a scan for BIOS-mode boot loaders by uncommenting the "scanfor" line in refind.conf and adding "hdbios" to it.
Thereafter, you'll see a new "generic" icon, which should launch GRUB, which should launch Linux in BIOS mode, even though Windows launches in EFI mode. This will work on most modern UEFI-based computers with a single hard disk, but things get trickier with multiple disks and with some UEFI implementations that lack the necessary firmware features. If a future firmware update fixes the problem, or if a future kernel's EFI stub loader includes a workaround, the EFI-mode booting will become an option once again.

  • Blue screen when booting from USB drive in UEFI mode (2013.07)

    SOLUTION for me was to update the firmware on my ASRock mb as thatu pdate changed the EFI software (by American Megatrends) version from 2.00 to 2.31. However, other users are still experiencing the blue screen.
    SHORT VERSION
    When I try to boot Arch Linux 2013.07 with an USB drive in UEFI mode (for installation), I get a blue screen (which is rather a literal description and not a hint towards the old Windows' one) with the message
    Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
    LONG VERSION
    I made an USB installation media (product: Intenso Rainbow) by following this advice on the wiki.
    I used the july release of Arch for that. First of, after installing the image to the USB stick I found that I needed to correct the label in the archiso-x86_64.conf file to ARCH_201307 (or was it the label of the usb stick, can't remember right now). (Pretty sure it was the same problem with "Linux Live USB Creator" which I used 3-4 months ago...)
    After doing that, I rebooted and selected the entry
    UEFI Intenso Rainbow
    from this list of entries:
    SATA HDJ ... something (the hard drive where Win 7 64 bit is installed with all programs)
    SATA something (hard drive which only contains data)
    Windows Boot Manager
    USB: Intenso Rainbow
    UEFI: Intenso Rainbow
    It went to a blue screen with a message in white text saying
    Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
    Below that was an OK button which had a black rectangle over it.
    After I experienced the bluescreen, I tried booting the
    USB Intenso Rainbow
    entry and the boot process then worked fine, I got to that Arch menu where I could choose
    Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)
    Boot Arch Linux (i686)
    Boot existing OS
    Run Memtest...
    and so on...
    But just to make sure, I then did the check for UEFI mode according to this and only saw a folder acpi and ... something else I can't really remember, but it definitely was not efi. Thing is, I needwant to boot into UEFI mode as I have Win 7 already installed in UEFI mode.
    Some info about my motherboard: it's from ASRock and is called H67M. The BIOS is dated to 2011-10-26 and is version 1.7.
    So far, I only found a mention of the problem here at superuser.com.

    Ok then, so this thread has also become about the blank screen problem when booting (in this particular case, Arch 2013.06 since 2013.07 seems to be worse).
    srs5694 wrote:Typically, you adjust kernel boot options using your boot manager or boot loader. In GRUB, you hit the "e" key to open an editor. In rEFInd, you hit F2 or Insert twice. I don't recall offhand what key does the job for gummiboot (which I'm pretty sure the Arch installer uses), but I'm certain it's got the feature.
    You are right. Thanks. I realized I had the gummiboot config right in front of me all the time. It's the file 'archiso-x86_64.conf' in \loader\entries (on Windows).
    An addendum: I think the USB: Intenso Rainbow boot option takes me into a GRUB menu. Hitting 'e' in this "big" and fully designed menu didn't do anything IIRC. Hitting 'Tab' did the trick to get into editing the boot command line.
    Hitting 'e' worked in the gummiboot menu though.
    So I tried booting with the following options (also by combining some of them)
    nomodeset
    acpi_backlight=vendor
    radeon.modeset=0 (I have a Gigabyte 7870 card in this desktop machien)
    i915.modeset=0
    but it did not help.
    To be rather safe than sorry: I should mention that there are two grey-ish bars visible on the top and bottom of the screen after I try to boot the first entry, Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI USB. Always has been with those two older Arch version (2013.05+2013.06). I also found another thread where one user talks about using the VGA port of the monitor, which I am currently not, I am using the DVI one, so that's worth a try too. EDIT It did not help either. What I did was setting the primary graphics adapter in the UEFI north bridge configuration menu to 'onboard' which worked immediately when rebooting (I hit the button labeled "Source" on my monitor and it showed it is using the "Analog" mode), but the problem just stayed the same. Adding aforementioned boot options or a combination thereof did not change anything.
    Thanks for the e-mail addresses, I sent one to James Bottomley.

  • [SOLVED] Arch Linux Boot from USB fails while loading kernel

    I am attempting to get arch linux booting off my usb. I use cfdisk to create a /dev/sdb1 partition then use mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1, mount the usb, pacstrap it, use install-syslinux_update -iam, generate fstab and then attempt to boot from it.
    The boot extracts the kernel but then complains that DEVICE is missing in the option APPEND root=DEVICE (in syslinux.cfg). I looked in /dev/disk (on the temporary filesystem shell), it showed my ssd and cd drive but not the usb. Does anyone know what could be causing the USB to not load in that particular section of the kernel?

    Since you'll probably want to boot from different computers (portable USB system), you want to remove 'autodetect' from that line. This is the same as always booting the initramfs-linux-fallback.img image. To save some space, you could remove 'autodetect' from the configuration file, disable the fallback image in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset  and delete initramfs-linux.img (otherwise, you'll get two identical images).
    Of course, run mkinitcpio -P when you're done.

  • Booting Arch-ISO from USB-Stick in UEFI mode fails

    Hi there,
    I'm running an Asrock H77M-ITX UEFI mobo. On this system I've already installed Arch on a Samsung 830 SSD (GPT formatted) - but in BIOS legacy mode because I've written the Arch-ISO image with "dd" to an USB-Stick (and UEFI boot mode wasn't even presented at boot).
    Out of curiosity I've re-formatted the stick and copied Arch-ISO following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … B_from_ISO.
    Now I could start the ISO in UEFI mode, but it failed to start gummiboot with the "No loader found. Configuration files in \loader\entries\*.conf are needed." error message, concerning a problem with gummiboot.
    Following some advice on the forum, I did this:
    - install refind-efi 0.4.7-2
    - copy /usr/lib/refind/refindx64.efi to [USB]/EFI/boot and renaming it to bootx64.efi (i.e. replacing the original bootx64.efi from gummiboot)
    - Create a new file in the same directory ([USB]/EFI/boot/) called refind.conf
    - Add this to it:
    textonly
    scanfor manual
    menuentry Arch {
    loader /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
    initrd /arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img
    options "gpt loglevel=7 add_efi_memmap none=UEFI_ARCH_x86_64"
    With this I can launch Arch-ISO from the USB-Stick in UEFI mode and I can choose Arch from rEFIND. Then Arch-ISO starts booting but it always stops at the same point with this message:
    sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page present
    sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
    sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
    ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/' device did not show up after 30 seconds ...
    Falling back to interactive prompt
    You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
    sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
    [rootfs /]#
    sdb is the USB-Stick from which I start Arch-ISO. Again - I didn't use dd to write the ISO to the stick.
    Maybe this is pretty easy to solve, but I have to admit that I'm somewhat stuck

    WonderWoofy wrote:See what the difference is between archiso and archboot maybe?  Seriously, have you made any effort whatsoever?
    Of course. Read:
    The "Main Page" ( https://www.archlinux.org/ ) states:
    "You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple."
    "Keep It Simple". Yeah!
    In line with that, the "The Arch Way" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way ) states:
    "The following five core principles comprise what is commonly referred to as the Arch Way, or the Arch Philosophy, perhaps best summarized by the acronym KISS for Keep It Simple, Stupid."
    The ArchWiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/ ) links to several other pages, such as these:
    The "Forum Etiquette" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette ) states under "Ineffective Discussion":
    "Arch is a Do It Yourself community" and "treat others as you would be treated; respect them and their views". I am very much a "do it yourself" person -- that's why I like The Arch Way. I also go by the Golden Rule stated here.
    Now, everyone is a newbie at some time. I and other posters here are obviously newbies with respect to ArchLinux. Even experts were newbies at one time. Newbies, by definition, do not necessarily know what they're doing, or where to find information. Hence, Arch's "Beginners' Guide" and such. Hence, posts on this board from newbies asking for help.
    As regards initial installation of ArchLinux, and consistent with the above, the FAQ ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FAQ ), under "Q) Arch needs an installer. Maybe a GUI installer", states:
    "A) Since installation doesn't occur often (read the rest of this article to know more about what rolling release means), it is not a high priority for developers or users. The Installation Guide and Beginners' Guide have been fully updated to use the command-line method. If you're still interested in using an installer, consider using Archboot."
    So the basic installation instructions explicitly state that Archboot is not needed.
    The "Installation Guide" ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide ) says nothing about either Archboot or Archiso.
    The "Beginners Guide" ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide ) says nothing about either Archboot or Archiso.
    The "Archboot" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archboot ) is consistent with the above information, because it states:
    "Archboot is a set of scripts to generate bootable media for CD/USB/PXE.
    It is designed for installation or rescue operation."
    The "Archiso" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso ) states:
    "Archiso is a small set of bash scripts that is capable of building fully functional Arch Linux based live CD and USB images. It is a very generic tool, so it could potentially be used to generate anything from rescue systems, install disks, to special interest live CD/DVD/USB systems, and who knows what else."
    So the pages describing both Archboot and Archiso clearly state that these tools are oriented towards already-existing installations -- even though it seems that they might be used, in certain circumstances, for initial installations.
    I happen to be very new at playing around with installing Linux distros (although I've used Unix/Linux as a regular user for more than 30 years), and am brand new with respect to ArchLinux. I only began playing with it this past Saturday. So I would expect a bit of useful help as opposed to "RTFM!" I will soon get past the need to RTFM for basic tasks, but I have a way to go.
    The fact is that for me and a number of other new ArchLinux users, the installation guides simply do not work. C.f. my post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153170 . I've done a lot of googling as well as searching the archives on this board, and others have come up against the same show-stopping installation problems that I have. I and others have posted to several recent threads on this board, trying to get past the problems, so far with no success.
    Now, the.ridikulus.rat had written:
    "You guys are using Archboot's kernel options for Archiso. Thats the issue in both the cases."
    Given that neither of these sets of scripts were used by me or swordfish, this comment is not useful.
    Given the above, can you or anyone else tell us what Archiso or Archboot might do to help us with our installation problems? Also, can you tell us how we, as newbies, ought to have found out how these might help?

  • Mac mini 2014 - boot from usb key/drive

    Hi,
    I've just unpacked the latest mac mini, bought two days ago.
    I am trying to get it to boot of a bootable usb key, bootable usb hard drive and PXE server to install another OS.
    All methods failing so far; I always get into OSX. I've tested the PXE server with another client and this was working just fine.
    Any hint for me please? (besides buying an external cdrom)
    Thanks.

    Thanks Gary. Given your confirmation that it should be possible, I've taken the fact that the external drive doesn't appear as a choice in "startup disk" as an indication that my disk is the issue. I did try two alternatives method to get the .iso to disk given your hint,
    The first, using UNetbootin rather than my linux distribution and it does come back with a message rather specific after it finishes:  "The created USB device will not boot off a Mac.  Insert it into a PC, and select the USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu".
    The second, using Disk Utility but the restore section for the target volume doesn't seems interested in me dragging the .iso to the 'source' field.
    And that's with two different OS's .iso. so assuming that's not the right alternative either.
    Few questions from there if I may,
    Is there anything special I should take care off while doing the formatting to boot from a mac (mini)?  (I'd welcome any link to a validated method)
    what do you do when you have a non mac keyboard? (I had used "C")
    should the PXE method have worked as well on the mac mini?
    (Thanks again for that first response Gary)

  • Boot from USB Key (for Windows installation)

    This is my weirdest issue ever:
    I have a windows 8 installation key which i want to use with bootcamp. Everything worked flawlessly on my MacBook Air (late 2011).
    What I did on MacBook Air:
    Created MS-FAT Partition with Disk Utility
    Plugged in Win8 USB Key
    Restarted
    Held alt (or option) key and booted from the USB Key
    Installed without error
    However, this procedure DOES NOT WORK on my MacBook Pro (2008) or my iMac (mid 2011)!!! They do NOT show the USB Key when I hold alt (or option) during startup.
    Is Apple somehow not allowing this due to the presence of a CD-Drive on the Pro and iMac?
    The Key still shows up on the MacBook Air and is bootable even after installation of win8. So the problem is not the USB Key.
    Thanks for any help!

    Being recognized and allowing Windows to be installed from a USB key are to totally different things.
    But I have not yet worked with the 2012 Standard model MBPs so maybe Apple changed something on them that does allow Windows to be installed from a USB drive. But for all other models that have a built in DVD drive you can't do it from USB.

  • MacBook (not unibody)  will not boot from Boot Camp USB Key

    Hello
    I have a MacBook Pro 2007 (17", 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM and SSD) with a defect SuperDrive, and I want to install Windows using an USB key instead. But the computer will not boot from the USB Key, even though the USB key works on my MacBook Retina. Also I was able to install Mountain Lion using USB Key, on the MBP 2007.
    Here is a bit more details:
    I've installed Mountaion Lion from the same USB Key (so boot from USB works).
    I've installed a Windows 7 Boot Camp using the SuperDrive before (when it was not defected)
    I've partitioned the harddisk using the Boot Camp assistant (this requires a Windows DVD in the SuperDriver... however it worked just enught to be able to have OS X recognize the Windows DVD, and create the Boot Camp partition). So far so good. Installing from the SuperDriver howerver does not work.
    I've created an Windows USB Key using my MacBook retina. Because the Retina does not have a DVD, the Boot Camp assistant offers the creation of a bootable Windows USB Key from an Windows ISO file. I've used this USB key to install Windows on my MacBook retina.
    When I try to boot my MacBook 2007 with this Boot Camp USB Key, it shows an "EFI Boot" option (with a orange USB logo) in the MacBook boot menu. When I select this nothing happpens. The mouse freezes, and the computer never boots.
    Questions:
    Shouldn't I be able to boot from an EFI USB Key on this MacBook 2007, when I'm able to install Mountain Lion using a USB Key?
    When I installed BootCamp using the SuperDrive, I had to do som "magic" to make it bootable. Like this: http://www.logicalvue.com/2009/10/installing-window-7-x64-on-a-macbook-pro-using -bootcamp. I tried doing the "oscdimg -n -m -bc:\efi-dvd\boot\etfsboot.com c:\efi-dvd c:\efi-iso\win7x64.iso" trick and create a EFI bootable ISO and created the from this USB key using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/. Same result... the USB key shows up in the boot menu, but nothing happens when I select it (except the mouse freezes).
    Any suggestions? Right now it feels like I have a bricked computer, because my kids needs Windows to run their games.
    : Thomas

    Thanks... I just tried rEFIt... and it almost worked.
    After installing rEFIt I got several different boot options:
    Bootmgr.EFI - This failed quick with a "unsupported" message
    Bootx64.EFI - This actually started the Windows installation with "Loading files.............". But after a few minutes when all files was loaded, the screen went black. I tried ataching an external screen, but the screen was still black.
    Boot from "Bootcamp" drive... as this drive is empty nothing happend.
    Boot from "USB Key"... I'm not sure how this is different from the first 2 options... but nothing happend. I belive this is what happens if I try selecting the USB key from the build in boot manager.
    Ofcause, whan I saw the "Loading files......" I thought I solved the problem, but as you can tell, I'm still stucked.
    Actually... I tried with both Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 64 bit and Windows 8 32 bit. Only Windows 8 64 bit, got me to the "Loading files.....". This was created with the Retina Boot Camp assistant.
    I also tried my own home made Windows 7 and Windows 8 ISO (created with this link: http://www.logicalvue.com/2009/10/installing-window-7-x64-on-a-macbook-pro-using -bootcamp).
    I guess my problem is another now. I'll continue my hunt... but I don't have more time right now. So I've installed Parallels and Windows 8 for my kids. Not optimal, but at least the can play their games.

  • Yoga 11s - how to boot from USB in UEFI mode (tried everything)

    I have been trying for days to install Windows 7 on my new Yoga 11s in dual boot configuration with 8.1, with no luck.  Typical catch-22 problem -- can't boot from the install media in UEFI mode, and if booted in legacy mode, Windows won't install on GPT partition. I followed all the steps everywhere mentioned:  disabled secure boot, set boot mode and order in every possible combination, etc.  I followed these steps exactly to create a UEFI-bootable USB drive:http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1-Knowledge-Base/Why-can-t-I-boot-from-a-USB-key-on-UEFI-ThinkPad-or-ThinkCentre/ta-p/1004621 I can boot easily from the USB in legacy mode, but in UEFI mode, when starting the machine, the USB is ignored.  If I go into Windows 8.1 recovery and do an advanced start and choose EFI USB, the machine thinks for a moment and then says: "System doesn't have any USB boot option.  Please select other boot option in Boot Manager Menu." Then I click OK and it offers only one option on the menu, Windows Boot Manager. I don't know if the lack of boot options is just a symptom of the USB not really being UEFI-bootable, or some other steps are needed to add boot options.  I even tried adding an item within the windows boot manager, but that didn't work, because even if it could work in principle I don't know the right settings. Has anyone actually made this work?  If so, what is the secret?

    I had the same problem and a lot of frustration. I finally solved the problem by using a different USB key. I also had to go into boot options and select the USB key even though I had the USB key first in the boot order. Right now I am Re-imaging from my backup and pray for success. Although things may look brigth afterall I have to leave out some steam:The whole problem started with a screen error, which had to be repaired. So before sending it to repair I made an image backup, - just in case. I got an eight hour time window where I had to wait for a pickup of the computer,- very frustrating when you are having a job requiring traveling. After ten days the computer computer came back with a scrambled hard disk with at note saying that it was an software error, although it was no doubt an hardware error because it worked perfectly with an external monitor. I have not counted the number of hours this bad service has costs but it exceeds the value of the computer!  

  • Flex 15D Help reinstalling - Boot from USB

    I'm hoping someone can help.
    I have a Flex 15D (no optical drive) shipped with Windows 8.1
    At present it is completely unresponsive, taking anything up to 5 minutes to recognise that I have clicked anything, open the task manager, etc.  The task manager doesn't show anything heavy running, AV has scanned the PC and there are no infections. so I decided to go back to scratch and restart.
    OneKey simply tell me that the recovery partition has become corrupted and can't be used.
    I then bought a copy of Windows 8.1 from Microsoft, followed their instructions to create a bootable USB key and get windows 8.1 set up from the DVD onto it, but the Lenovo won't boot from USB.  I have been in the BIOS, boot from USB is set, but the boot options give me the OS booter only.
    Third attempt i went out and bought a USB DVD drive, connected that and tried to install a brand new Windows 8.1, but again the Lenovo won't acknowledge that there is a DVD drive attached (although it sees and uses it perfectly when it does finally boot into windows).
    Can anyone give me any help as to how I could reinstall the laptop?
    Thanks

    Looks like you'll have to remove the hard drive, put it in a usb caddy and use another computer to get your data.

  • W541: Cannot boot from USB created with Windows 8 create recovery drive

    Hello, I have just bought a W541, and want to install the supplied Windows 8 on an m.2 SSD.I created the recovery drive on a USB following the instructions in the User Manual, but the recover image procedure under Advanced Options cannot find the USB.During the re-image step, it fails to find a drive with a valid image.I've confirmed using the command window available under the Advanced Options that the USB is mounted Searching these forums, I found the following, which describes a similar problem for a T540:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-W-Series-Laptops/Lenovo-W540-won-t-boot-from-USB-flash-drive-ThinkPad/m-p/1500902#M39097 This implies that the USB should first be formatted with FAT32 before use, which cannot work, since FAT32 only has a maximum 4 GB  partition, whereas when copied to the USB, the Windows 8 recovery drive occupies nearly 10 GB. Is it possible to specify the boot order from insde the BIOS? I could only find an entry under Security about UEFI boot enabling, nothing about the boot order. Can anyone help?Paul    

    Hello Z, thanks for the reply. I tried another USB drive, and created a recovery drive, as before.This time it was able to detect the presence of the drive when I tapped on the Enter key when starting up, followed by the F12 key.  However, there are still problems when I clicked through the options:Choose the languageChoose your keyboard layoutTroubleshootAdvanced optionsSystem Image Recovery At this point I am offered the option Windows 8.1.When I select this, it indicates it is scanning for system disks, and then displays the the pop-up window "Re-image your computer": "Windows cannot find a system image on this computer" Why does this happen if it detected that there was a Windows 8.1 installation on the USB? I've spent a whole day now on this. Luckily, if I can't solve it, the machine is new and I can send it back to Lenovo, and ask to have it re-imaged with the downgrade option to Windows 7.

  • Kernel panic when booting from USB

    Hi guys, I'm trying to install arch on a cd-less HW (www.linutop.com) but during boot from USB

    Have checked md5's of the downloaded files and they were correct, have also tried to double write it
    to the usb stick but still the same kernel panic message.
    (I can play play space invaders from the grub menu though :-) )
    Many thanks for any info on this.
    UPDATE:
    Ups, it uses AMD Geode processor and google doesn't suggest it's i686 compatible. Can this be the reason? Please confirm and I'll mark this as solved.

    It is Geode LX. Thanks

  • Can't restore MacBook Pro to factory settings/boot from usb or dvd

    So I recently got a MacBook Pro, currently running OS X 10.7.4 Lion. I am well-versed in the world of Windows, however am quite new when it comes to macs (whole reason why I got it).
    I'm trying to restore it to its factory settings without owning a restore disc. The HDD only has one partition (no recovery partition).
    I have located and downloaded a torrent for an OS X installer, specifically a .dmg image file containing OS X 10.7.
    I tried burning that image to a DVD, but when I go to boot from the DVD (to my understanding, this is done by holding "C" during boot) it doesn't work, and just continues to proceed to the logon screen as it normally would.
    I have tried converting the image from a .dmg to a .iso (something I am far more familiar with) using one of my Windows machines, and then burning that to a DVD, however, it yields the same result as above.
    I have tried using the Disc Utility to format a flash drive (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) and then using the same Disc Utility to "restore" the image file to the USB drive. When I go to boot from this (holding alt/option at boot) it shows the internal HDD as the only bootable drive.
    Is it possible that since I am technically running a newer version of Mac OS X (10.7.4 and using an installer of 10.7) that it will not allow me to do so? I know Apple has made it difficult to downgrade iPhones and the like, and I suppose it wouldn't surprise me a great deal to find out that the same applies to their computers.. But if I am attempting to boot from a different source, and use that to format and repartition my HDD, then I don't see why that would matter...
    Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Shootist007, but that's not accurate.  There were no disks of any kind included with the MacBook Pro I bought.  I am very anal about keeping everything that comes with a computer.  I don't misplace or lose them.  I've been buying computers since '88, and I am very careful to maintain original items.  I searched the original MacBook Pro box several times, and there's nothing in there but the original purchase receipt from the Apple Store and the form fitting black plastic tray and cushion.
    I did try wiring the system, and that's when it tried to restore Lion (and wouldn't let me do a restore of anything else).
    Are you saying that if I do upgrade to Lion, and then do a system restore, then the buyer will not be able to use Lion?

    Hi:
    I would make a set of recovery disks first before proceeding.
    To boot the PC you need to go into the BIOS and enable legacy mode.
    Then you should be able to boot from another device.
