Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device 1. Hyper-V Windows 2012 R2 Preview

Hello,
I am new to Hyper-V. I installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview on a physical server and installed Hyper-V role on it.
I am trying to install Windows 2008 R2 on Hyper-V as a guest OS.
From Hyper-V manager, I created a VM and supplied 2008 R2 ISO as a boot device.
Windows 2008 R2 ISO is bootable. I have used the same ISO on VMware and it works.
I connected the VM and powered on, but OS instalaltion doesn't start.
I get error " Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device 1." Below is th screen capture.
How to fix this problem ?
How do I go to Hyper-v VM BIOS settings ?
How do I change the boot sequence for Hyper-V VM ?
Thanks ! Jayawardhane

I was getting the same error but with WINDOWS 2012 STD Edition.
My case: I was trying to use the existing WINDOWS 2012 VHDX with Generation 2 Virtual Machine, as I wanted to make use of 'Virtual Hard Disk Sharing' feature which is only supported on SCSI Controller. But during boot, it looked for UEFI code, whereas
I had created VHDX using BIOS boot partition. So I guess, In order to use 'VHD Sharing' feature, I have to convert boot partition to GPT which supports UEFI.
If I use the Generation 1 virtual machine, and then change the VHDX Controller from IDE to SCSI from settings, I see the option 'VHD Sharing' getting enabled, but unfortunately the Generation 1 BIOS does not have support for SCSI only IDE.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 new VM with ISO in DVD boot failed - default SCSI not IDE

Hi, have created some VMs fine on 2008R2 and 2012 Hyper-V but now onto 2012 R2, am using the Gen 2 VM and hitting install error when booting them from the 2012R2 RTM .ISO (downloaded straight from Technet) loaded into virtual DVD:
I see from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/53f901e4-5bd0-4e13-80a2-bca2f57b15e9/hyperv-unable-to-boot-from-cd-or-iso-in-vm-machine?forum=winserverhyperv that Hyper-V seems unable to boot from a synthetic SCSI until guest OS actually
installed - so Catch-22! But I can't add an IDE Controller because it's not on the list:
I tried the Integration Services and it seems fine on the Settings (including ticking the only one unticked - Guest Services) although if you need to run them from the DVD, it has the same problem - you can see them loaded (or the Win2012R2 ISO) in the DVD
Media but you can't make them run through booting on SCSI!
The physical drives are SATA not SCSI but presumably no matter as Hyper-V runs SCSI virtually, but why does Hyper-V default to SCSI and how do I get the DVD to run off an IDE instead if that is the way to install a base OS from .ISO? Or is there an easier
way than all this?
TIA, Phil.

I found this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/11/11/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-9.aspx
I hope this help.
"...yes, we’re acutely aware that the generation 2 EFI boot loader messages persist on the screen and it can be a little confusing. Essentially what the generation 2 virtual machine did was:
Attempt to boot from the CD SCSI device containing the Windows 8 ISO. This is where the ‘Press any key…’ message came from. As no key was pressed, we went to the next boot entry. (And this is where we didn’t clear the message from the EFI CD boot loader)
I didn’t press F12 (in fact, this VM wasn’t connected to a network), so network boot failed
The SCSI VHDX is raw with no partitioning or file system, so this too failed
So why did the generation 1 virtual machine start setup from the Windows media? The answer is simply that it’s the way Windows media is built, and it’s inconsistent between the PCAT and EFI loaders.
However, it’s relatively simple to solve if you want to avoid the press any key message. In fact, we almost have all the pieces from previous parts. In particular, part 4 where we injected keyboard drivers into the Windows 8 media.
If you loopback mount Windows 8 or 8.1 RTM media, and navigate to the \efi\microsoft\boot directory, you will see there are two versions of cdboot.efi
The default version, cdboot.efi prompts for a keypress. The unused version, cdboot_noprompt.efi doesn’t prompt.
So it’s fairly simple to create modified media which uses the noprompt version. First, copy the contents of the ISO to a working directory, rename cdboot.efi to cdboot_prompt.efi, and rename cdboot_noprompt.efi to cdboot.efi.
Do the same with efisys.bin and efisys_prompt.bin
Then re-use our oscdimg command (in an elevated deployment and imaging tools environment) from part 4 to recreate the media.

Problem Intalling hyper-v Windows 2012 R2 on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine

First Try:
I am trying to install hyper-v Windows server 2012 from the Microsoft site below on to a Windows 8.1 Pro using Hyper-V Manager.
The Windows 2012 R2 ISO I downloaded from the link at the bottom of the screen.
I am downloading and copying this ISO to CD. In hyper-v manager, right pane, I am clicking New, Virtual Machine, Next, Name (2012 R2), check the box “Store the virtual machine in a different location (F:\Windows 2012 R2), which is
a partition that will used for all my hyper-v OSs. Click Next, select Generation 2, Next, Startup memory 512 with box checked “Use Dynamic Memory for this virtual machine, Next, Configure Network connection (chose my virtual switch I setup
in Virtual Switch Manager, Next. For Connect Hard Disk, I chose “Create virtual hard disk, and went with the defaults. Clicked Next, and in Installation Options, I chose “Install an operating system from a bootable image file (media Image
file (iso) – browsed to my DVD device and chose the saved iso), and then clicked Finish button.
The virtual machine “2012 R2” appeared in the off state. I double clicked it to open the virtual machine, and clicked the start button.
Received Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device.

Second Try:
I did the same process but changed select Generation 2 to Generation 1, and browsed to the ISO saved on my HDD rather than from a CD.
This time the Windows 2012 installed, but came up with a blue screen with the time showing in big numbers, and the words “Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to sign in.
When I clicked Ctrl-Alt-Del: the PC screen cleared and showed selections (Lock, Switch User, Sign Out, Task Manager).
I tried to switch user to my Microsoft Account, but it only redisplayed the previous blue screen with time ect…

You mount the ISO file directly to the VM, stored on the local disk.
If you mount the ISO and boot into a VM you should not get a logon prompt - you should get the ISO boot prompt to install and if you fail to respond the VHD is booted.
I am suspecting you have a corrupt download of the ISO.

Hyper-V Windows 2012 r2 Poor network performance

Hi,
Since that I installed Windows 2012 R2 and Hyper-v, I notice that is very slow performing copy operations from the VMs to the physical machine (appears to be lock to 10MB). Firs I though that this issue was only between the VMs and the parent OS, now I realized
that when copying between this Hyper-v physical host and another physical host in the same subnet I also get only 10MB of speed.
How do I unlock this 10MB limit??
The switch and all NICs are GIGABIT capable and before using Windows 2012 r2, using the same hardware boxes I was doing 400MB of transfers between physical hosts and VMs??!!
Thank you.

I had the exact same issue with the same AR8151 NIC on my Alienware, only I'm running Windows 8.1.
I have a VM with both an external (to the AR8151) and an internal NIC which serves as both a domain controller and router (RRAS) for my other VMs (which only have Internal interfaces). There is no VMQ setting on the adapter, and I messed around with
the offload/RSS settings, but performance would drop whenever this VM would be running. (Internet speed test would go from 95Mbps downstream to about 24Mbps.). When I paused or shut down the VM, performance would return to normal.
I found the issue to be an errant entry in my route table which I have no idea how it happened. A second default route was created which used the internal IP of the VM with a lower metric. Simply deleting the route corrected the performance issue.
Network Destination        Netmask          Gateway       Interface Metric

ITunes install fail - Apple Mobile Device Support not installing - Windows 8

So I have a Windows 8 Pro system, and I've had to reinstall iTunes. Anyway I've been completely unable to do so. It simply either gets an error and does not install (where does itunes store its installer log files so I can see whats happening?) at all or it gets to the part where its starting up services and it fails when its trying to install and start the Apple Mobile Device Support service and so when I start iTunes I get an error message like this one:
"This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes"
I've tried several times to uninstall and manually delete all the files related to itunes, but this has made no impact.
I have no idea what to do. Reinstalling my OS and all the apps just to get iTunes back really isn't something i want to do.

All sorted now. Sorry b noir, but I cannot remember the error. What I did was use the idea from another thread to copy the necessary files from one computer to another. Fortunately I have a laptop on 8 so updated iTunes and coppied all the files from the /Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support. I then downloaded 2 programs to make the necessary registry entries. This did not fully work so I searched the laptop registry for the version number of Mobile Device Support and then put it into the same desktop registry key. This worked as I was now at the correct version.

I know it has to be permission issues but for the life of me cannot figure it out. I have tipple checked the permission but they seem to be in order. I have performed clean install several time and same result. I have compared it with my working
2008 R2 server and everything seems in order.

Exactly by following the Microsoft "migration" guide
Argghh.. I wish they'd shoot and kill that thing. The 'guide' is part of why migration has been such a pain.
Whats your point?
My original point was going to drive toward the state of KB2734608 on the original server, but now we have so many more opportunities for complications to have occurred. :-)
"Values does not fall within the expected range" is a new message that we've not seen prior to very recent times. Since the only thing new/changed in WSUS relates to SHA256 hashes, it occurs to me that 'migrating' a WSUS v3 server that does not have KB2734608
installed onto a WSUS v6 server on Win2012 may be inherently problematic.
The procedure you used was derived from an older procedure for migrating to Windows Server 2008 R2, and was originally created (for Win2012) in Feb 2012, updated in April 2012, but does not take into consideration the subsequently discovered impact of the
use of SHA256 hashes in Win8/Win2012.
WSUS has built in replication -- I've never understood why the Windows Server team found it necessary to build such a complicated procedure when the native replication does almost all of the work in one step.
Consider this alternate migration procedure:
Install KB2734608 on original WSUS v3 server. (This is necessary to create the SHA256 hashes for all of the updates in the database.)
Install fresh WSUS v6 on Windows Server 2012 and configure as replica of WSUS v3 server.
Replicate. (This will bring across updates, computer groups and approvals.)
After replication (and file transfers) are complete, configure the new servers as an upstream server and synchronize with Microsoft.
Point the clients to the new server. (If you are using client-side targeting, the clients will automatically populate into their assigned groups.)
Also, to the procedure used... if you copy the 'WSUSContent' folder from the old server to the new server, it results in the ACLs of the new server being overwritten, taking away necessary access rights for the new server to work correctly.

The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible, not the usual boot error though?? (0xc000000e)

Hey,
I need some help fast please. I recently booted up my gaming rig after swapping out a 7970 graphics card and upon system boot up, as the windows 7 logo appeared the system crashes and a BSOD appears for a split millisecond and I'm asked to start up repair windows
or start windows normally however when I click start up repair a black error screen appears with the following message and error: The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible error state and an error code:0xc000000e. Now of fixed this before
multiple times except this instance nothing seems to work Ive tried the following:
- check for any unplugged or loose cables
- Re installed my ram
- Booted with on board graphics
- unplugged all usb devices and external devices with the exception of the keyboard and mouse
- Booted with system installation disc and attempted system repair several times only with the same outcome of wanting to restore from a previous system restoration point however it always fails
- changed the boot type to IDE which made the system boot furhter past the logo screen however it still crashes with the same error
- From the system installation disc I ran a chkdsk /f and no corruptions or bad sectors were found
However, I did run from the installation disc a "bcdedit" and my osdevice was unkown and my boot manager and boot loader were set to two different drives on being D: and the other being C:. So I re-linked all three back to the D: drive as the
windows installation disc says thats where Windows 7 is installed, although in the actual windows 7 My Computer its listed as C: drive which is weird? anyways after re-linking them using bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=D: and the other two commands
my recovery partition disappeared which was listed as C:, and now I can only see my local drive? That did not fix the error so I tried one last thing and ran another chkdsk D: /f /r which is taking for ages and I'm assuming my hard drive and its contents
are still intact ( thank god!!) because its taking so long and there are 612080 files to be processed!
I thought I might try and rebuild Master Boot Record?
I don't want to loose any of my data, well I hope I haven't lost any because I have over 150+ games and their saves :(
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated :D
thanks guys!

Hi,
Repair the current OS using the Windows 2008 / 7 DVD:
Boot to the Windows DVD
Select Next > Repair your computer
Select Next > Command Prompt
Change directory (cd) to x:\Sources\recovery
then type Startrep.exe to launch a quick automated startup repair utility which corrects boot environment values. This step may require more than one attempt and should be repeated a couple of times if the first repair fails.
If step 3 fails, open the command prompt and type bcdedit This
will display the values for Windows Boot Manager.
Review the values for Device. Is it set to unknown, as shown below? If so, proceed to step 7.
At the command prompt, type the following commands (c: is the default system partition. If your original partition was another drive letter, this value can be set to that drive letter):
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} osdevice partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {BOOTMGR.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
Reboot the system after removing the OS disk.
Hope it helps,
Jan

I installed Opensuse 12.1 on /dev/sda5. It is booting with Grub, working with no problems. The computer boots directly to Grub menu.
THEN, I installed Arch linux (last release) on both sda and sdb following these mounting points:
/dev/sdb1 mounted as /boot Ext2
/dev/sdb2 mounted as / BTRFS
/dev/sdb3 mounted as /usr BTRFS
/dev/sda2 mounted as /home BTRFS
Intstallation went smooth until the end. Installed the bootloader.
Now, I am trying to configure GRUB to boot Arch.
Here is what I added on /boot/grub/menu.lst, in sda5 under Opensuse:
title Arch Linux [/boot/vmlinuz-linux]
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sdb1 ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
In Opensuse, i can check that vmlinux and grub/menu.lst are indeed in /dev/sdb1
My /etc/fstab is on /dev/sdb2
=============================== sdb2/etc/fstab: ==========
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda2 /home btrfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb2 / btrfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb3 /usr btrfs defaults 0 1
With this parameters, i got an message error when booting Arch:
Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /new_root failed: no such device.
Error : failed to mount the real root device.
So, at busybox prompt, I tried this command line :
ramfs # mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1
Got an error : Can't read /etc/fstab
I tried too to give a uuid adress to sdb1 in my menu.lst file, but it didn't change anything, so I am sure partition number is correct.
It seems to me in fact that GRUB can't find fstab.
Two questions :
-Would it be better in fact to use only 1 GRUB file for both systems? If yes, shall I keep only the grub config from Opensuse?
-What do I wrong with Arch booting? Why can't I boot Arch?
EDIT :1- just realised there is no BOOT flag in my partiton table on /dev/sdb.
2- root is on /dev/sdb2, not sdb1.
1-I toggled my first partition bootable using fdisk
2-changed root to point to /dev/sdb2
Now booting into Arch login

It was a very simple problem. I used the wrong uuid for my /
Correct entry in 40_custom is:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "Arch Linux uuid" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root 8516fa60-0d45-4f33-b269-817c5290f6cc
linux /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/9f32e668-2548-4ed4-a10b-3fbea66a6d95 ro vga=775
initrd /kernel26.img
Now the boot is working great. Next thing was that my /home and swap was not detected.
That was simply because /etc/fstab was still using /dev/sda etc naming. changing that to uuid solved that part as well.
To use uuid all the way and of cause the correct one solved everything

Kernels 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 fail to boot with EFI stub

Been using rEFInd for some time now. Current installed version is 0.7.1. Kernels 3.10.5 and earlier would boot without incident. Yesterday I upgraded to 3.10.6 and boot failed. As a workaround, I copied the Liquorix kernel and initramfs from my Kubuntu partition; to my mild surprise, this worked. My next test was to install the 3.10.7 Zen kernel from heftig's repository. This kernel boots fine (I added a version number string to the name of the kernel image and the initramfs so that rEFInd would automatically match them). After that, I enabled Arch testing and updated the Arch kernel to 3.10.7; this also fails to boot just like the 3.10.6 kernel did.
I'm a fan of boot text, so I've configured rEFInd in text mode only. Here's my refind.conf, with almost no changes from defaults:
timeout 20
textonly 1
use_graphics_for
scan_all_linux_kernels
And my /boot/refind_linux.conf:
"Boot to X" "ro root=/dev/sda3 nox2apic nmi_watchdog=0 elevator=noop acpi_osi=Linux pcie_aspm=force raid=noautodetect systemd.unit=graphical.target"
"Boot to single user" "ro root=/dev/sda3 nox2apic nmi_watchdog=0 elevator=noop acpi_osi=Linux pcie_aspm=force raid=noautodetect systemd.unit=multi-user.target"

Steve, your picture is far too large for these forums. You are going to want to put it in some kind of a picture sharing/hosting site and link back to it. Otherwise it will end up disappeared (likely via black magic) from your post. I don't think that it provides any useful information anyway. If you want to post your kernel command line that is great. But posting a picture of a frozen screen with no output... doesn't really do much good.
Efistub has been a bit shaky since 3.6 actually. There is a monster thread about this already, the title of which references 3.6, but the content continues on through several kernel releases. Still people continually report this as being an issue. What I do is I keep a normal efi bootloader (one that doesn't rely on efistub) at the ready all the time. My choice was elilo, but since [testing] started including syslinux-efi in the syslinxu package, I have started using that... though I still have elilo set up.
Can you boot with efistub from the UEFI Shell or gummiboot? I prefer gummiboot, but I have had this problem in the past, and when I did, I was able to boot with rEFInd... which was strange. Some people even report that simply having a direct efibootmgr entry in their firmware causes it to magically work. Though there should be to reasonable explanation for this, it was confirmed by several people in the mentioned thread.

I have a Lenovo U530 laptop that intermittently encounters a 'boot failed' error.
This has happened 6 times in a 4 month period. Each time it has occurred I have clicked

I am aware of the suggestions to boot from a recovery drive but that is not my problem.
I am able to successfully boot by powering off/on.
I would like to figure out what is causing this. Any suggestions on what steps to take
to diagnose this the next time it occurs?
Lenovo phone support has been of no help.

If you are not connecting to a lan at boot up try to disable "PXE boot to Lan" in the bios. Else temporarily disable it. Once booted try running in command prompt with admin rights "sfc /scannow". Do not include the quotation mark. You might also try running chkdsk to check the hdd for defects.

You need to move to 12.1(19)EA1 or later and this problem will be resolved. This is a problem in the IOS not supporting the ENTITY-MIB.

Kernel compiling - mount failed: No such device?

Hello everyone!
I'm having an issue with mounting the linux kernel I've just compiled. What I've done:
- I've patched linux-2.6.33.3 with patch-2.6.33.3-rt19 by issuing bzcat ../patch-2.6.33.3-rt19.bz2 | patch -p1
- sudo make -j4 all
- sudo make modules_install
- sudo mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26rt.img -k 2.6.33.3-rt19
- sudo cp ./arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz2.6.33.3x86-rt
- sudo cp ./System.map /boot/System.map2.6.33.3x86-rt
- sudo rm /boot/System.map
- sudo ln -s /boot/System.map2.6.33.3x86-rt /boot/System.map
- Edit grub/menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux2
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-label/root ro
initrd /kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-label/root ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img

# (3) RT Kernel
title RT Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz2.6.33.3x86-rt root=/dev/disk/by-label/root ro
initrd /kernel26rt.img
Now when I select the rt kernel from grub, it fails with:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-label/root on /new_root failed: No such device
Can anyone help me figure out what went wrong?

Look under "Common NFS Errors"
I'm guessing you haven't installed nfs-utils and portmap on the client. Or you haven't started them. In the right order (portmap, then nfslock - you don't need to start nfsd on the client)

Zones not booting - failed to create devlinks: Interrupted system call

I just installed the latest 10_Recommended cluster with 118833-36 kernel patch and now my zones won't boot. I get the error:

Also, running devfsadm or drvconfig;devlinks from the global zone will core dump.
Any ideas..??
tia..

First, you gotta change your prompt to something less embarrassing when you post to a public forum :)
I'd forget about the zones problem and focus on why devfsadm core dumps -- that's the core of the problem (no pun intended...no, really!).
First, review the install logs of all the patches installed during the recent service (/var/sadm/patch/*/log). Even if they all show a good completion, check the messages they generated, sometimes they have errors that aren't bad enough to cause a complete failure of the patch. The KJP (118833-36) is probably a good one to start with.
Next I'd "truss" the devfsadm command while it core dumps then get a stack trace of the core (run "adb <corefile>" and type "$C" -- that's old school, I'm sure mdb is much cooler...).
Throw some of the strings from those against sunsolve and see if something sticks.
Good luck!

Extended partition on old MBR HDD makes Windows 7 UEFI boot fail

There seems to be a bug in Windows 7 Pro x64 that prevents it from booting on a GPT partitioned HDD when the same machine also has an MBR partitioned HDD with an extended partition.
I have a UEFI bootable PC with two HDDs:
Disk 0 is GPT partitioned and contains Windows 7 Pro x64 and openSUSE systems.
Disk 1 is MBR partitioned and contains Windows XP Pro x64 systems and bootable ISO images.
Both the disks also have separate partitions for data and for booting.
They are normally booted via rEFInd on disk 0 as follows:
UEFI => rEFInd => Windows 7 or GRUB2.
UEFI => rEFInd => disk 1 MBR => GRUB4DOS.
I had previously installed Windows 7 when it was first released, but abandoned it in favour of XP and openSUSE instead. With the end of support for XP I decided to re-install W7. Before doing so I unplugged disk 1 to ensure that W7 booted completely
independently of XP. After installing W7 I installed SP1 and all the Windows updates. The new W7 system could be booted without problem via rEFInd => \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
However when I plugged in disk 1 W7 would no longer boot. It displayed the message "Windows is Loading Files" as the bar progressed twice before returning to the rEFInd menu. On selecting W7 again it presented the option to "Launch
Startup Repair", but on doing so it too just displayed "loading files" and returned to the reEFInd menu.
I UEFI booted from the installation DVD and ran Repair. When re-booted W7 presented a menu with choice of new and recovered systems, but both failed as before. Neither could be booted in safe mode. Booting directly from the UEFI firmware menu
into W7, instead of via rEFInd, gave similar results.
Investigations showed that the problem is caused by the extended partition on disk 1. If it is deleted, or just hidden by changing the partition type from 0x0F to 0x00, then W7 boots OK. Plugging in an external USB HDD with logical partitions also
prevents W7 from booting.
This all seemed to be similar to the problem described in KB979374, so I downloaded the hotfix (404153_intl_x64_zip.exe), which is supposed to be applicable to Windows 7 as well as WindowsServer 2008 R2. However when the hotfix was run it displayed "The
update is not applicable to your computer" and logged the following error:
error 2149842967 "" (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "<pathname>\Windows6.1-KB979374-x64.msu" ")
Is this because the version of files mentioned in KB979374 is older (6.1.7600.20617) than the version of Winload.exe in my system (6.1.7601.17556)?
According to http://www.techienewsnetwork.com/247/22/ SP1 included hotfix 979374, but it doesn't appear in the list of Installed Updates given in my W7 control panel. Should it, are hotfixes included in a service pack listed individually? If
not is there any way to tell whether or not hotfix 979374 has been applied?
How can W7 be booted without having to change the partition type code of extended partitions every time, is there a newer hotfix that will fix the problem in Windows 7 SP1?
Almost all the references I can find to this problem are at least 2 years old, which suggests it might have been fixed. Does anyone else with an up to date Windows 7 SP1 have this problem with extended partitions. An easy test is to plug in an external
HDD with logical partitions and see if W7 will still boot.
I don't want to convert disk 1 to GPT as that would make XP un-bootable. Also GRUB4DOS only supports MBR, and it is very useful for booting ISO images as well as XP.
Cheers.

Hi Wade,
To be sure that openSUSE, XP, or any other software on my PC isn't part of the problem I decided to do a new install of Windows 7 on a blank HDD. As I don't have a spare one I had to backup everything on disk 1 (MBR) and then wipe it, including the MBR,
with zeros (using AOMEI Partition Assistant).
I unplugged the original disk 0 so that the PC had just single completely blank HDD (previously disk 1), UEFI booted the Windows 7 DVD and installed W7 again. Unfortunately at this first attempt W7 partitioned the blank HDD as an MBR disk and booted
in legacy BIOS mode, even though I had booted the DVD in UEFI mode. So I deleted all the partitions it had just created and converted the disk to a GPT one.
The next time I installed W7 it was a UEFI one, with an EFI system partition. After installing SP1 and re-booting it a few times to make sure it was working OK I plugged in the external HDD with an extended partition before re-booting. The result
was exactly the same as reported above for the main GPT disk: it briefly flashed "Starting Windows" then displayed "Loading files" for a few seconds as the bars progressed; when Startup Repair was launched it failed as well.
After removing the HDD I booted the new W7 and added some missing drivers and installed all the Windows Updates, including the optional ones. Many hours later the result was a new up to date installation of Windows that worked perfectly (no errors in
any log files), with no other software on the PC. However as soon as the external HDD was plugged in it failed to boot, as described previously.
I then ran Bootrec from the DVD, trying all the commands, but the results were exactly the same: everything worked successfully but no Windows installations were found, and it didn't fix the problem.
The documentation on how to use Bootrec describes how to backup the BCD store that is on the C: drive (e.g. "ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old"). However the BCD store for UEFI based systems is in the EFI system partition, NOT on the C: drive. This suggest
that Bootrec does not apply to UEFI based systems.
Are you sure that the MBR is used when booting in UEFI mode? From what I have read in several places (not MS pages) the protective MBR on the GPT isn't used, but instead the UEFI firmware runs \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi which looks in the BCD store
in the EFI partition. Can you point me to any MS documentation please that explains exactly how UEFI booting works for Window 7, including its use of the MBR.
Do you have a Windows 7 system that can boot from UEFI when an MBR disk with an extended partition is attached. If so how is your installation different from the one I have just set up, i.e. Windows 7 installed on a PC with just
a single empty GPT HDD?
Do you work at Microsoft? If so perhaps you could find out if anybody with a straightforward UEFI booted Windows 7 has problems when an MBR HDD with an extended partition is attached.
Sorry for the delay in responding, but a lot of work was involved.

[SOLVED] Removing archiso's UEFI boot failed using xorriso

I'm trying to remove UEFI boot support of the latest archiso since I have to boot the install CD on my MacBook2,1 (which doesn't support UEFI, only supports 32-bit EFI).
I follow this guide but this is the xorriso output:
libburn : SORRY : Neither stdio-path nor its directory exist
xorriso : FAILURE : Cannot aquire drive 'stdio:~/archiso.iso'
xorriso : aborting : -abort_on 'FAILURE' encountered 'FAILURE'
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi,
as upstream programmer of xorriso i would really appreciate
to see this fixed in the wiki ... or yielding a bug report
if xorriso is to blame.
I tried the following with success on my quite outdated
GNU/Linux system:
$ wget http://mirror.de.leaseweb.net/archlinux … 1-dual.iso
# mount -o loop /dvdbuffer/archlinux-2013.05.01-dual.iso /mnt/iso
$ xorriso -as mkisofs -iso-level 3 \
-full-iso9660-filenames\
-volid "ARCH_201305" \
-appid "Arch Linux CD" \
-publisher "Arch Linux <https://www.archlinux.org>" \
-preparer "prepared like a BAWSE" \
-eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-eltorito-catalog isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-isohybrid-mbr "/dvdbuffer/archlinux-2013.05.01-dual.iso" \
-output "$HOME/archiso.iso" "/mnt/iso/"
(I do not have SYSLINUX development installed, but the ISO image
bears a suitable -isohybrid-mbr template at its start. So i use
that one.)
This yields
GNU xorriso 1.3.0 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
xorriso : UPDATE : 107 files added in 1 seconds
xorriso : NOTE : Copying to System Area: 32768 bytes from file '/dvdbuffer/archlinux-2013.05.01-dual.iso'
libisofs: NOTE : Aligned image size to cylinder size by 55 blocks
Written to medium : 260608 sectors at LBA 0
Writing to 'stdio:/home/thomas/archiso.iso' completed successfully.
The original ISO reports on inquiry of its content
$ xorriso -indev /dvdbuffer/archlinux-2013.05.01-dual.iso -toc
Boot record : El Torito , ISOLINUX isohybrid MBR pointing to boot image
Boot catalog : '/isolinux/boot.cat'
Boot image : '/isolinux/isolinux.bin' , boot_info_table=on
Boot image : '/EFI/archiso/efiboot.img' , platform_id=0xEF
The repacked one reports no EFI boot image that is reachable
via El Torito
$ xorriso -indev /home/thomas/archiso.iso -toc
Boot record : El Torito , ISOLINUX isohybrid MBR pointing to boot image
Boot catalog : '/isolinux/boot.cat'
Boot image : '/isolinux/isolinux.bin' , boot_info_table=on
If this does not work for archlinux users, then please tell
me the version of xorriso that fails, the necessary preparations,
the program arguments used, and the messages of xorriso.
Have a nice day
Thomas
