Questions on uefi bios

Hi to everybody, I have felt to speak of the uefi bios and I would want to know more of it.
Is it compatible with xp 32 bit?
Once installed this new bios is possible to return to the old bios?
Are there some improvements in comparison to that old?
Thanks.

Yes, it is compatible with all OS'.
Yes, you can return to legacy BIOS firmware if you don't like the EFI one.
Improvements are things that EFI bring to the table: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=newsdesc&news_no=637

The new Click BIOS uses the latest UEFI framework which provides users with different setting environment. The all graphical operating environment is very similar to the Windows system operation which can be operated using the mouse. In addition, it also offers multi-languages interface to significantly reduce the language barriers that might lead to setting difficulties. The application of the Click BIOS offers users a more exciting experience. It supports network connectivity and enables user to install any compatible programs. Users can easily use programs such as games, multimedia players, online updates, and other convenient applications

  • How can I dual boot Windows 7 on a MBR disk and Windows 8 on GPT Disk with UEFI BIOS

    I have recently build a computer. I bought a Seagate 3TB HDD which I planned to install Windows 8.1 Pro on and I also bought another Seagate 1TB HDD which I planned to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I wanted to dual boot the two systems.
    However, I want to format the 3TB HDD into GPT and format the 1TB HDD into MBR mode.
    Can this be done in a UEFI BIOS environment?
    Windows 7 Ultimate X64 ---------- MBR 1TB HDD
    Windows 8.1 Pro X64--------------- GPT 3TB HDD
    Please reply soon, because I am in a hurry to solve this problem.

  • Dual Boot Windows 7 with preinstalled Windows 8 on GPT-formatted hard disk and UEFI BIOS.

    Question for Jordon Wees,
    Hi,
    You wrote: I can successfully install both operating
    systems in UEFI mode, with Windows 7 on the first partition and Windows 8 on
    the second partition. <o:p></o:p>
    But I couldn´t!<o:p></o:p>
    Could you please provide me how to install Windows 7
    64 bit on a PC that already has Windows 8 64 bit preinstalled?<o:p></o:p>
    I have also a GPT-formatted hard disk with UEFI BIOS
    but I get the error message that windows can´t install Windows 7 on the disk

    I don´t understand this because it is a GPT-formatted
    hard disk with Windows 8 on it!<o:p></o:p>
    I can´t change the hard disk to MBR format because I
    will lose Widows 8 and all other partitions.<o:p></o:p>
    In the BIOS for the storage dives Boot´ option I
    selected the: only UEFI, I could also select the option ´first UEFI´ but it doesn´t
    change the failure of installing Windows 7.<o:p></o:p>
    Thanks, Sia

    If I am reading your issue correctly. Windows 8 came pre-installed on a computer with a hard disk setup as a GPT with UEFI configured.
    If this is the case then the outcome you are experiencing is correct.
    Windows 7 does not inherently have the ability to install into a GPT disk from the base installation. 
    The Windows 7 DVD is designed to install using BIOS mode.
    Also note that Windows 7 x86 does not support UEFI mode.
    These two articles below may help you.

  • Confusion about UEFI/BIOS and GPT/MBR compatibility issues

    So a user said in another post that they were NOT able to boot in UEFI mode and install Fedora even though it is UEFI compatible.  But this person was able to useLegacy mode and install Fedora, and furthermore, was able to "keep the Windows partition."  I'm guessing that means that Win 8 that came with it, which would be installed in UEFI/GPT mode, correct?  I'm specificly referring to the Y510P but from what I understand *every* laptop that comes preinstalled with Win 8 must be UEFI/GPT.
    So the way I understand it is that the installed Fedora is in "BIOS"/GPT mode rather than "BIOS"/MBR mode because you can't have both GPT and MBR on the same disc.
    I have just started learning about this UEFI/BIOS and MBR/GPT nonsense, and it's going to drive me crazy until I finally understand it. So I guess what I'm asking is:
    1) When I get my y510p I assume it will be in UEFI/GPT mode. Can I install non-UEFI distros alongside it as I take it was done with Fedora?
    2) If I install a linux distro alongside Win 8, do I have to worry about compatibility issues with a drive that is in GPT format? Or does the MBR/GPT issue have nothing to do with it, so I don't have to worry about ever changing my drive to MBR?  
    For example, I read that Win 7 must be installed either as BIOS/MBR or UEFI/GPT.  This can not be mixed and matched.  This means that if I could not get the Windows 7 installer to boot in UEFI I would have to install as MBR.  This also means I would have to format the drive and reinstall Win 8 on the MBR.  
    So my question is do other OS's like Linux have these restrictions?  (For example, if a particular distro will not boot in UEFI and therefor MUST install on MBR)
    3) I have a pendrive with YUMI installed with a ton of distros/tools/Win installs/etc. (It is a USB boot tool like unetbootin that allow you to add multiple bootable images.) When I tried it recently on my dad's laptop.  I have used it many, many times with my older computers, none of which were UEFI.  It works great.  Now that I've had a recent encounter with my dad's ASUS Windows 8 computer (not with the y510p yet) I found out that UEFI seems to be complicating the crap out of things (for me, at least.)
    So when I used this computer, I noticed that when I boot (with legacy mode enabled) and enter the "boot selection screen" in order to boot with USB, I have two options a) UEFI:"name of usb" and b) "name of USB". The UEFI option would NOT boot, but it would boot without the UEFI: option.
    So does this mean that I am booting in non-UEFI mode and once I have booted this way and choose a distro to install that it CANNOT install in UEFI mode?  I recently saw a tool called Rufus that I have yet to try that has an option to set the bootable USB to UEFI, so that would possibly work if I wanted to install a UEFI compatible distro (Arch linux is what I'm wanting.)
    4)  If installing a UEFI compatible distro (such as Arch) requires that the USB device be able to boot in UEFI mode has anyone been able to do this?  Has anyone even been able to boot a device in UEFI mode to do *anything* such as run a live linux?  
    I'm 99% sure I would be able to boot in legacy mode and run a live linux (because I did so on my dad's computer) but the problems arise when I consider how to INSTALL.
    I would really like to know the answers to these questions (as scattered as they are.) Any help would be appreciated!
    Unnecessary info:
    (I started learning about BIOS/UEFI and MBR/GPT the hard way a few days ago by trying for hours to install Windows 7 on my dad's Windows 8 laptop because I could NOT get Win 7 installation to work...it kept asking for drivers before I could install until I finally used the Windows USB install tool, put the stick in a different USB, AND formatted the drive as MBR because Windows 7 would NOT install on the existing GPT drive until I used diskpart.exe -clean. And I have read that Win 7 64 bit will work fine on a UEFI/GPT setup. I used the Windows 7 USB boot tool which did NOT give me a UEFI: and regular option. It showed up simply as "name of usb" without a UEFI in front. Since I read that Windows 7 must either be in BIOS/MBR mode or UEFI/GPT mode that this drive would not boot in UEFI mode, and I don't know why...Although I believe I read that Win 7 cannot be installed from a USB in UEFI/GPT mode, only BIOS/MBR.  UEFI/GPT mode requires a DVD install but I did not have a drive to test this.)

    I have a Y510p which is running dual boot Windows 8.1 and Arch Linux.   I think that it is strongly advised to do plenty of reading ahead of any install if you will be using UEFI and Linux so that you understand all the issued before making critical changes to the existing system.
    Yes, if the machine comes with Windows 8 (as mine did) then the disk will be formatted with a GPT partition table (instead of the old MBR partitioning scheme), and will boot using UEFI. If you are going to try to keep the existing Windows 8 system and add Linux then you will need to keep the disk with its GPT partition table and partition structure, but you can shrink the Windows 8 C: drive to make space for the Linux partitions that are needed ( a root partition and at least a /home and/or /opt partition and possibly a linux swap partition also ).  If you want to boot the Linux install via UEFI then you can simply add the required boot directory to the EFI System Partition (ESP).
    However it is very important that before trying to do any linux install that you switch off Fastboot from within WIndows 8 (or 8.1). Also most Linux distributions are in some difficulty booting using Secure Boot, though a few such a Ubuntu and Fedora are supposed to be able to do so. Hence it is much easier to work with Linux if Secure Boot is first switched off from the BIOS settings menu.
    The order of operations that I used was;
    1) Switch off Secure Boot from the BIOS - and boot back into the Windows 8 system to check that it boots OK.
    2) With Windows 8 running go into the settings and switch off Fastboot (which does a hybrid suspend when it shuts down instead of a full normal shutdown - if you don't do this then the memory gets overwritten when booting Linux in the future which means booting back into Windows will fail). 
    3) Reboot back into WIndows and check all is well, and if so then use the disk management facility within Windows 8 to shrink the C: drive to make room for the Linux partitions.
    4) Reboot to check Windows 8 still boots OK.  
    5) If you are going to update to Windows 8.1 then do so, and then update everything once it is booted (it is a huge update and takes ages!). Once done then you will likely have to update drivers for the graphics cards, the clickpad and possibly the wireless chip and ethernet chip. I found that I needed to get drivers that were newer than were available on the Lenovo website, by going to the relevant hardware manufacturer website (eg for synaptics for the clickpad). Then spent a week or so in the evenings getting Windows 8.1 configured the way I like it.
    6) Then I did a lot of reading about the various options for the boot manager that would suit a UEFI boot for a dual boot system for Windows 8.1 and Arch Linux and there was a choice of Grub, Gummiboot, rEFInd, and others - and after reading the details I decided on rEFInd as my boot manager which can boot not only any new Arch Linux install but automatically finds the Windows UEFI boot files and presents the options in a nice graphical window once the system gets past POST at bootup.
    7) It was important to check which partition was the ESP and to know what partitions I needed to create for the Arch Linux system.  Then I went ahead and booted from a usbkey to a uefi install system, and very carefully proceeded with a standard Arch Linux install, being particularly careful to know where to put the rEFInd boot manager files and the kernel and initrd files. Also I used efibootmgr to write the appropriate NVRAM boot entry in the motherboard memory so that the uefi boot system knows where to find the rEFInd uefi boot files in the ESP.
    8) Once complete the system boots to Arch Linux as the default, with a nice Windows icon which you can select with the arrow keys within the boot timeout period (default 20 seconds).
    I noted also that it is possible to create boot stanzas in the rEFInd boot manager config files which allow rEFInd to chain load other Linux systems or even other bootloaders if you wish - so it is very flexible. So if you want to you could install a grub standalone set of diretories/files so that if the normal linux boot fails then you can select the grub icon from rEFInd and chainload grub to boot either the same Archlinux install, or point to a third linux distribution if you have more partitions containing that third install which might be Ubuntu or Mint or ....
    Either way although getting to understand how uefi boot works is a learning curve it is actually generally simpler than the old legacy BIOS boot. With uefi you no longer need an MBR on the drive, and only a suitable EFI System Partition which has to be VFAT formatted. However if you want to have one of the linux distributions booting from legacy MBR then you need to create an MBR at the start of the drive - so you would need to move the start of the first partition and create a suitable sized Master Boot Record otherwise MBR boot can't work. If you do that then of course you have to be careful if the Windows partition is the one being re-sized that it doesn't mess up the Windows boot! However since using uefi to boot rEFInd allows a chainload to grub/gummiboot or other bootloaders then there should be no need to mess with MBR booting if you go down that route.
    If you are interested in rEFInd then the author Rod Smith has a good set of documentation that describe the details at http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
    He is also the author of a really excellent disk partitioner for GPT disks - http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/
    Clearly it is necessary to read up on the boot facilities available for any linux distribution that you plan to put on the system.
    One nice thing is that uefi boot with an efistub supported kernel build is really fast on the Y510p. My system boots Arch linux in about 7 seconds to the KDE login prompt once the POST is complete and that only takes a couple of seconds.  Of course Windows is much slower once it is selected at the rEFInd screen and takes somewherearound 40 seconds or so to boot, but at least Linux is super fast!
    Anyway I hope that this helps.

  • Installing Windows 8 using WDS on devices that use UEFI BIOS

    Hi all, sorry for the word wall.
    I am currently planning a deployment of Windows 8.1 Upgrade 1 on Toshiba Z10T's which I will be deploying using WDS, which is running on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    The Toshiba Z10T device in question is quite handy as it can switching between legacy CSM BIOS and UEFI BIOS.
    The devices are shipped out of the box with UEFI BIOS on, and obviously we would like to be able to just un-box & image them, however we have constant issues when trying to PXE boot devices with UEFI BIOS, and the only way I can get them to PXE boot
    is by switching over to legacy CSM BIOS.
    From what I have read from other forums on the internet, UEFI & WDS don't get on that well - so what I was wondering is this-
    We currently have SCCM 2012- I was wondering would we have more success booting to a UEFI BIOS if I used SCCM & MDT or will I still encounter the same issues?  Is it the PXE client in UEFI that is at fault?
    Problems that we encounter when we use UEFI to PXE boot are- Drivers not there to get into to the boot image; if we can get them to image, devices will not join to the domain; devices will image but not install any drivers.
    Thanks for reading this word wall.

    PXE itself doesn't use/need any drivers at all - it's the post-boot (boot image), and the full OS (install image) which need the drivers.
    PXE is totally contained within ROM, and that ROM will download the NBP (for non-UEFI this is typically wdsnbp.com)(for UEFI this is typically bootmgfw.efi).
    In a ConfigMgr (or MDT) scenario, the NBP then downloads boot.sdi, boot.wim(WinPE) and then install.wim(Full OS).
    Both boot.wim, and install.wim, need to have the correct network card drivers and also the correct storage controller drivers installed.
    This is how Windows deployment via PXE works (it's most often the lack of the correct drivers, at the required stage/phase, which causes grief)
    [background]
    Although we have a small number of Z10Ta and Z10Tb devices in my organisation, we are still using the factory image on them, so I haven't spent the time to incorporate them into our ConfigMgr OSD (PXE) supported-list yet.
    We are just starting our journey towards UEFI-boot. We are using MDT UFD bootable media for our lab and it's working fine for UEFI and Win8.1/64bit, on various devices (although not tried the Z10Ta/b). Am nearly finished moving that all into ConfigMgr, to
    then begin testing it all with PXE.

  • T520/T420 UEFI BIOS Management - Changing Boot order

    WIth the T410/T510 I could use the SetConfig.vbs to change the boot order in BIOS.  However with the newer laptops (T420, T520, X220) that have the UEFI BIOS the SetConfig.vbs doesn't seem to work.  Is there another way of scripting the boot order change?  I also tried running the ListAll.vbs and didn't see anything related to the boot order listed in WMI. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I tried your exact script on T520 with BIOS 1.27
    1.  in the case where LAN cable is connected to network with PXE server  <-- system booted to LAN successfully
    2.  in the case where LAN cable is not connected  <--  system booted to HDD after LAN boot failed to detect media
    3.  in the case where LAN cable is connected to network without PXE server  <-- system booted to HDD after LAN boot timed out
    So I could not repro any problem.  What am I missing?  Are you on a dock?  Are there any other peripherals connected?
    As for your other question, I'm sorry that I'm not following it.  You can change the boot order in the Startup menu, the very first option is "Boot" where you can set any boot order you want just like previous systems.

    Also, what is the difference between normal and ln2, or witch one is safe to use?
    normal is the pre-overclocked default vbios. LN2 (which can be chosen via the selector switch on top of your card) is not factory overclocked but allows more extreme manual oc without the limits of normal vbios (more voltage and power draw allowed). This is especially needed for extreme oc like if using Liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling for oc records.

    Re. 1) Some people perceive it that way. I don't think that's fair. SecureBoot requires EFI but EFI doesn't require SecureBoot. My machine has the former but not the latter. On standard PC hardware, the current policy is that OEMs have to enable SecureBoot to use Windows 8 but that they must also ensure that it can be disabled (if I understand things correctly). If it is enabled, you will likely have to disable it in the BIOS unless you use e.g. Fedora which I think is signed off for SecureBoot though I'm not sure of the details.
    Re. 2) Yes. Good luck finding hardware which doesn't support EFI.
    What you probably do want to do is make sure you buy hardware which supports legacy boot for booting in BIOS mode. That gives you more flexibility, I think.
    Caveat: you should research this before buying. "My understanding" is not motivated by any current desire to part with my own hard-earned cash and therefore casually informed, at best.

  • Cannot Access BIOS or Boot Windows 8 After Changing UEFI BIOS to Legacy BIOS

    Acer V7-751, 500G HD, Windows 8.
    I changed the BIOS settings from UEFI to Legacy BIOS when I was working on a problem. Now I can't even get into the BIOS (F2)
    or change the Boot Order (F12). All I get is an error "Operating System not found". I can boot with a Win7, Win8, or Win8,1 DVD. I suppose I could boot with just about anything else bootable as well.
    The problem seems to be caused because it's set to Legacy BIOS and Secure Boot Manager as default #1 boot device. Legacy BIOS
    can't boot a Win8 drive that has been installed under UEFI (Secure Boot). I have to change the BIOS back to EUFI to boot the WIn8 drive, but the only way to change the BIOS is from within Win8. It's a very flawed way of doing things but it's the way it is.
    Does anyone have any suggestions that they KNOW work. Please don't Google answers. I've already done that. And please (please)
    don't tell me to power on and press "F2" (or any other key) to go into BIOS. If I could do that I wouldn't be posting.
    Once again, I cannot get into the BIOS without going into Windows first. I cannot load Windows because the install was done
    under UEFI. I cannot change from Legacy to UEFI because I can't get into the BIOS.

    In this case, I flashed the BIOS with a newer version of the BIOS/Firmware and that returned everything to the Defaults (not Legacy BIOS). I believe you could also flash with the same version. I don't think you could flash with an earlier version, but no harm
    in trying it. if you've flashed the BIOS previously, you may be able to restore the previous copy. It all depends on the manufacturer and how they handle flashing the BIOS.
    I wasn't able to, but you may also be able to boot from a correctly formatted USB drive with another OS (Windows XP/Vista/7) because Legacy BIOS allows you to boot from external devices. Essentially, you need to be able to boot from a valid OS that is not on
    the Hard Drive that was configured using the UEFI BIOS setting.
    Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll do what I can to help. If this solves your problem, please mark my post as the answer. Thank you.

  • GOP/UEFI BIOS for R9 270X

    Can someone please give me a GOP/UEFI BIOS for my R9 270X?
    Since I'm new here, I'll do some other questions:
    1)How do I flash the BIOS?
    2)How do I know if my BIOS is GOP/UEFI compatible?

    Thank you!

    Just for your info: What GPU-Z lists as bios version is no vbios version. These numbers are useless. Luckily you added the actual file and the real version currently used is legacy vbios TV303MS.102.
    Use the attached vbios to update. It's the latest UEFI/GOP vbios TV303MH.103.
    Decompress the attached .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
    Then unpack the previously provided archive (103.rar) and put the included file (TV303MH.103) on that stick.
    Rename TV303MH.103 to 103.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive provided on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
    Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 103.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.
