UEFI information...

I made a recent post about how to disable the onboard RAID300 on my RD430. And there was an answer. But after 20 or more frustrating hours later, two things are very apparent:
1) There is no "bios" documentation.
2) Lenovo's implementation of UEFI and the "Bios setup" need explaining; specifically, the interaction between various options which can cause my GPT UEFI option to not work anymore. 
Much like this thread, I want all UEFI and no legacy. Or at least something that clearly explains why I can't boot my RD430 from any of the boot options, legacy or efi when things go wrong, like changing one setting in bios to enable the disabling of the scu.
What I have found with my RD430 is that if I do anything to disturb the bios or make any hardware changes which disrupt the ordering of the disks, my server won't boot. Combine that with my lack of understanding of the interaction of UEFI and the rest of the system and I'm questioning my investment in a proper server.
My Google-fu did help me stumble upon this amazing Lenovo document, which is the singularly most helpful explanation of UEFI I have found on the internet. Why? Because it provides usage examples. 
To those who read and might know:
I read about a USB UEFI diagnostics utility; can it fix the boot variables in NVRAM when I do something that makes my RD430 not boot?
I had to reinstall the OS after I took the advice on disabling the patsburg scu to turn of the raid 300. Now I moved the raid card to the other free PCIe 3.0 slot and am trying to use a live CD to re-write the nvram variables. I documented the process, so in the unlikely event it is a successful recovery, I can post the details. My full expectation is the need to reinstall the OS again...
Thanks,
Chris

I found a great way to actually SEE what is in the UEFI boot table is to boot a linux live CD in UEFI: mode and then modprobe efivars then efibootmgr -v to see the results. This post helped me recover my lost OS.
It would be fantastic if Lenovo (or someone) could come up with a bootx64.efi that enables the user to easily map the boot table entries in the UEFI nvram! The program could scan the drives and partitions for valid EFI/xxxx/ffffx64.efi entries, show them in a table, and let the user alter them. It should show something of a PCI drive layout, which partition, and the files' paths. Labels would be nice, but I'm not going to be greedy.
The bios' uefi boot menu has bugs and it definitely does not scan entries accuracy.

  • Prepare an usb thumb drive, to boot windows 7 or 8 in UEFI mode

    Purpose of this post:
    Prepare an usb thumb drive, to boot windows 7 in UEFI mode and install the system in pure UEFI mode.
    Why am I writing this:
    I had a hard time finding out how to make a custom installation of windows 7 in pure UEFI mode, and avoid using the factory restore disks. After hours of research, experiments etc I finally got the point and found a solution. And I'm happy to share my research with you. I hope this will be of help. If something is not clear, or more information is needed, I will be glad to explain things further.
    History:
    As most of you already know, BIOS was developed for PC in early eighties and has remained unchanged in recent years. But, since 2000, Intel started working on a new firmware interface, called Extensible Firmware Interface, abbreviated EFI. And since 2005 United EFI Forum has been handling the responsibility for development, management and promotion of UEFI specifications. Bigger companies like Intel, AMD, Microsoft and Dell have already started to bring out their products in accordance to UEFI standards which has more stable, secure and easier to use interface.
    How does UEFI works (in a nutshell):
    Once you power on the UEFI based PC, the Pre-EFI is executed which initializes only the CPU, memory and the chipset. This followed by Driver Execution Environment (DEX) where other hardware is initialized.
    Advantages of UEFI:
        It can integrate various drivers this will not require to load during booting so saves time.
        PC can connect to network without OS.
        Also integrated drivers allow rendering GUI based control panel which out dates the old school bluish BIOS screen.
        Not all the installed hard drives are scanned as boot drive is set during the installation of OS in UFFI.
        Applications like anti-virus and diagnostic tools can be stored on virtually any non-volatile storage devices attached to a PC.
    For a system to boot and install in UEFI the partition table of the HDD should be GPT (GUID Partition Table), not the old school MBR (master boot record). GPT has many advantages, can have virtually an unlimited number of partitions (windows will allow only 128) and impressively big partitions.
    Since UEFI has a lot of advantages why not having a system install and boot in UEFI mode? AFAIK new Lenovo notebooks/netbooks are UEFI capable and OS’s are already installed in pure UEFI mode.
    So, let’s go now to the point. Do you want to have more control over your HDD? Let say, you have a 320GB HDD and you have divided it in two partitions, one of 50GB, for your Windows 7, and the remaining for your data. If something goes wrong and you need to restore your system to factory default, with the recovery disks, it will wipe your partition scheme, set the system to default and this way your data will be lost.
    You may want to make a “vanilla” installation of windows from a USB thumb drive and avoid using factory recovery disks. Now here things get complicated. A standard preparation of the USB with Microsoft’s software (Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool), or other tools, will give you a bios installation, not a UEFI one. So for the system to boot, you will need to change some settings in bios, and changing it from UEFI to legacy bios. The installation will prepare the HDD in MBR partition table, and you will lose all the advantages of UEFI, described above.
    Now this can be avoided, by properly preparing an USB to boot and install in UEFI mode. Here are the steps:
    Step by step tutorial:
    1.    In a windows computer, download a legal copy (although trial) of the windows 7 os. You can do this from here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
    Be sure to download the same version that came preinstalled in your computer. For example, if you have a Lenovo x120e, with a Windows 7 professional, 64bit, download an iso image of the Windows 7 professional 64bit.
    2.    Once downloaded burn the iso to a USB thumb (at least 4GB) using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
    3.    After preparing this, create a folder on your computer, name it whatever (i.e. W7pro64bit). Go to the root of your USB
    and select all the files and folders there (9 in total) copy, and paste to your folder you created, W7pro64bit.
    4.    Using windows format the usb again in FAT32. Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool, formats it in NTFS. We need a FAT32 formatted disk to achieve our goal. Formating again the USB in FAT32 will not touch the MBR of the USB thumbdrive. And after copying back the files (see step 6) the USB will still be bootable. (nice, and simple, isn't it?)
    5.    Now go to the folder W7pro64bit and do the following:
    a.    Browse to W7pro64bit\sources\ and open install.wim file. It’s a big file, and can be opened as an archive with 7zip (free software). Do not extract it, do not modify it, just browse the file with 7zip. Just to be sure you do not mess with that file, you can copy it somewhere else in your computer, and than procede.
    b.    Browse this file (install.wim) to \1\Windows\Boot\EFI\ and locate the file bootmgfw.efi. Do not move, delete it, but just drag that file to the desktop. (if you have copied the file install.wim to another place in your computer, than you are safely do whatever you want with that file ) Close the 7zip program to release the install.wim file.
    c.    Rename the file you just copied to the desktop from bootmgfw.efi to bootx64.efi.
    d.    Now go back to w7pro64bit folder and browse \efi\Microsoft. Form there copy the folder boot and paste it one level up, on the folder: \efi. It will look like this: \efi\boot.
    e.    Now copy the file you saved on your desktop and renamed (bootx64.efi) to \efi\boot (inside the boot folder you copied on step 5d
    6.    Now go to the root of the folder W7pro64bit and select all folders and files (9 in total) copy, and paste all those files back to your USB thumb drive. (see step 4 for more info)
    7.    Go to the computer that you are going to reinstall, and before restarting it, use the program ABR (activation backup and restore) to backup the license of your windows os. (use google to find ABR). Advanced Tokens Manager (ATM ) is great too. This link may be of help: Backup and restore W7 activation. After the program finishes its magic, it will create a few files inside the folder where the program itself reside. Copy these files to a new folder in your usb.  Rename it to ABR so you will quickly find it later. (if you decide to use ATM, the procedure may be a little different. But you are smart enough to figure out how to use it)
    8.    Backup to an external storage all your data before continuing.(reminder: are you sure you saved the license as explained in step 7, to a safe place? To a external drive, to another computer? If you are sure, than go on with step 9)
    9.    Now restart your laptop, and enter your bios settings. Go to the boot settings, and set the computer to boot in UEFI only. Not both, not UEFI first, or legacy, BUT UEFI only. Save and restart.
    10.    Press f12 (or the corresponding key for your machine) to choose the boot device and chose to start from the USB thumb drive with your windows 7 pro 64 bit.
    11.    If everything is done correctly, your computer will boot from the USB.
    12.    Follow the wizard and choose a custom install, not upgrade. At the disk partition window delete all the partition you see there until you have only one unallocated space.
    13.    Select it, and click next to install windows, without making partition in this point. The installer will create a GPT partition table not a MBR since the USB booted in UEFI mode.
    14.    Immediately after the first restart remove your USB thumb, and the installation will continue from the HDD. Wait until installation finishes.
    15.    When you will be finally on your desktop, on the installed OS plug your USB go to the ABR folder and click on restore.exe. It will restore your license and your copy of windows will be activated.
    16.    Now you can go in computer management/disk management and shrink the HDD to create your partitioning scheme. Make sure to leave enough space to your windows os. (30gb or more for extra programs you will install at your choice)
    17.      Download from lenovo.com thinkvantage system update and update your system. Windows update too can install all the necessary drivers, if you need only  basic drivers support.
    Note: if tvsu will fail to work, see this:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/ThinkVantage-System-Update-Servers-down-the-wh...
    It may look a looong tutorial, but once you do this for the first time, it will look a piece of cake.
    Final words:
    From now on, you can install windows 7 in UEFI mode with your special USB without changing your partition scheme anymore. If you have a data partition beside your os partition (see the example above), when you reinstall the system using your USB thumb drive, at the disk partition window chose the partition where windows is installed, delete it, and reinstall windows to the unformatted area. Your partition with your data will be intact and the installation will automatically mount your data partition to the system. And, all the scope of this procedure, you will always have a pure UEFI installation of the system, with all its benefits.
    Have fun!

    In the case of Windows 8, I needed to copy the files away, reformat my USB key as FAT32 and copy the files back, and viola I was able to boot from my USB install media with the BIOS set to only boot UEFI.  From there, there rest was easy (for Windows 8, the copying and renaming is not necessary, the key is having a FAT32 partition on the USB media, rather than an NTFS one; the EFI files are already in the right location).
    Thank you again good sir.

    I've been running 64-bit Windows 8 Consumer Preview very nicely for several months and want to upgrade to 64-bit Windows Pro on my Pavilion a1440n. When I've tried to install from within the OS I get weird messages indicating that it can't be installed on a USB Flash drive (which I'm not trying to do). When I tried doing a clean install I got an odd message saying that certain installer files were missing and it would not complete. I called Microsoft customer support and the agent there thought my cpu would work because it wouldn't support Hyper-V, even though I understand that it optional. From running coreinfo.exe I can see that I have the PAE, NX, and SSE2 on the cpu enabled as meets requirements.

  • I had the same UEFI partions after installing Ubuntu, and the Diskpart suggestion didn't work!

    I have a system with a 128 GB SSD, and a WD15EARS drive. I was hoping to install Windows 8.1 PRO on a 90 Gig partition and the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 14.04 on the 30 Gig partition, and put all of the data and apps on the Western Digital Drive. This is
    a brand new system using a Gigabyte B85M-D3H motherboard, 8 Gig Kingston HyperX 1600 Mhz RAM, and an i3-4330 3.5 GHz processor. My BIOS is set to UEFI and Legacy setting by default. I had previously had Windows 8.1 PRO and Ubuntu 14.04 working in a dual boot
    configuration but found out I was running the 32 bit version.
    I got rid of Ubuntu 32 bit by deleting the partition it was installed on and cleaning up with the Disk Manager from Windows. I created NTFS volumes on the affected partitions and downloaded the 64 bit version of the Ubuntu 14.04 .iso! The first time I tried
    to burn a disk, it wasn't bootable, so I downloaded Imgburn and created a bootable CD. I ran the TRY 1st, but when I chose install the program did not recognized that Windows 8.1 Pro was previously installed. It wanted to install to the 90 Gig partition on
    my SSD drive (which is where Windows 8.1 PRO) was installed. I manually redirected the install to the Western Digital Drive and the install proceeded until completion.
    It was obvious that since Ubuntu did not recognize the previous install of Windows, the Computer rebooted into Ubuntu. This is almost identical to another situation listed.
    The solution given was to open an administrative command line and issue the following:
    DISKPART
    RESCAN
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK #
    LIST PARTITION
    SELECT PARTITION x
    DELETE PARTITION OVERRIDE  ; and I received the following
    Virtual disk service error; Delete is not allowed on the Current Boot, System, Pagefile, Crashdump, or Hybernation Volume.
    is there any tool that wil wipe partitions no matter what?

    Hi,
    The reason why you encountered this error is that the partition you wanted to delete is "system" partition, marked as "Active", it contains files to boot into system, so you can't delete it with the command.
    And here're some useful links about dual boot Windows 8/8.1 and Ubuntu.

  • Windows 8.1-No UEFI firmware setting in advance option. Can't access BIOS with F2-Lenovo B575

    There was Windows 7 Home Premium on my machine before (Lenovo B575)and I could access the BIOS and Boot Menu pressing F2 and F12. I installed Windows 8 Enterprise version first and lost the ability to go into the BIOS. I upgraded this version to 8.1 with
    same results. In advanced option I don't have UEFI firmware setting tile. So I can't choose to get to the BIOS with this method. I have tried to go into the BIOS at the boot pressing F2 and many other keys with no result. The OS in both cases 8 and 8.1 hung
    several times during the installation process. I had to manually reboot machine during installation several times. After the windows were installed the system still can't shut down or restart normally and I have played with different settings in power / shutdown
    option. Please help. I need to be able to access my BIOS at boot or Windows level. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    The method to enter into advanced boot option in Windows 8\8.1 is different from Windows 7, pressing F12 during boot may not work because the booting process in Windows 8\8.1 is too fast. Here's an document from Lenovo website:

    Please Note the sentence at the end:  Lenovo preloaded Windows 8/8.1 is set up with UEFI boot. If your computer is not fitted with UEFI boot, you can only enter BIOS setup or UEFI firmware via  the traditional method.
    that means If you installed Windows 8\8.1 the U/EFI way you should be able to access UEFI options,
    To check if you boot UEFI way, run in admin command prompt:
    bcdedit
    for example:
    If path ends in
    .efi - you boot U/EFI way, and path ends in .exe - you boot normal BIOS way.

  • How to install Windows 7 in UEFI modeand what bios settings for D30

    How do you install windows 7 in UEFI mode and what bios settings do I need to install it on a D30 workstation.

    Not a ThinkStation guy, but FWIW, that can happen when installing Win 7 in UEFI mode when CSM support is not enabled in BIOS.
    Is CSM support - either explicit or by selecting "other OS" and turning UEFI back on as suggested above - an option?

  • [SOLVED] Unable to boot Archiso USB in UEFI mode

    Hello Everyone !
    I'm trying to create an UEFI bootable USB from the latest ISO : 2012.10.06. I first tried following this section of the wiki : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … B_from_ISO with an usb key formatted as an EFI System (of type "ef00" in gdisk) and with a FAT32 partition on it.
    All steps went right but when i try to boot with this key from the EFI menu, i get an infinite black screen and the usb key led isn't blinking so i suppose it's not loading.
    I have refind already installed on my system. When i try booting the key from refind, I get the same result but with a clue : it stays blocked at loading bootx64.efi.
    I just tried another way of creating my bootable usb key by following the archiso README : https://projects.archlinux.org/archiso. … EADME#n237
    It results in the same situation.
    I've tried the two ways a few times and with two different usb keys so i think i didn't miss any step. (The filesystem label is right)
    The section of the wiki I mentionned is changing every day so maybe it's not ready ? Moreover, a new command has been added about removing a [BOOT] file, i don't have this file when extracting with bsdtar.
    The md5sum of the iso is ok.
    My computer is an ASUS N56VM.
    Everything worked fine with the previous iso of archlinux.
    I didn't find anyone on the forum with the same problem so if anybody knows how I should do or where I could get more information, I would be grateful.
    PS : I'm sorry for the mistakes in english, this is not my mother tongue .

    I got the same issue. After hours of debugging I finally understand the problem: gummiboot doesn't detect any menu entry, and goes into a bug that hangs it. I have a patch to fix that particular bug, but instead of hanging you will see a proper error.
    The real problem is in gnu-efi, which is not wrapping the Windows x86 calls correctly, so it's a matter of luck if the compiler manages to organize the code in a proper way.
    You can try with this package: http://felipec.org/arch-linux/gummiboot … pkg.tar.xz

  • T440s & Windows 7 in UEFI mode

    Hi, 
    I try to install Windows 7 on my T440s. However, I fail booting the USB stick with error code 0xc000000d ("An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data"). I created the USB stick as described in the Forum here (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Knowledge-Base/Prepare-an-usb-thumb-drive-to-boot-windows-7-in...). Also, the USB-Stick boots fine in UEFI mode on my old (HP) Laptop. Also I can boot on CSM-Mode Compatibility Support Module. I tried several other how-tos and what else Google answered search fo that error code (e.g. disabling USB3, disable nearly everything the UEFI BIOS could disable etc...). It really seems to be an issue in conjunction with that UEFI implementation...
    I'm using latest UEFI BIOS (GJET64WW, 2.14).
    Anyone successfully installed Windows 7 on that model? Any help would be appriciated.
    Best regards,
    falstaff
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    What do you mean by Also I can boot on CSM-Mode Compatibility Support Module ?
    Windows 7 won't run in UEFI mode without CSM enabled.  IIRC it may boot but won't run.
    I don't have a T440s to test with, but here's how I make and boot a Win 7 UEFI installer:  format a flash drive as a single partition - FAT32. Use an (un)archiving tool like 7zip in Windows to extract the contents of a Win 7 SP1 installer ISO to a flash drive.  (or just copy a DVD to flash).
    Boot it and install.  IIRC the file manipulation required to create a bootable flash drive applied to pre-SP1 Win 7.

  • Windows 7 installation on Toshiba UEFI

    Hey all,
    I bought a new Toshiba L70-BST2NX1 laptop and I am trying to install Windows 7 (Home Premium 64-bit) on it using UEFI method, not dual boot with Windows 8.1, just Windows 7 all by itself. I got stuck early in the installation process.
    Here is what I did:
      *  Disabled Secure Boot in UEFI setup
      *  Removed all partitions from HDD
      *  Began booting from Windows 7 DVD while UEFI is enabled
    Having done that, on the screen I see "loading files" text and a white horizontal progress bar. Then the animated Windows startup logo appears with "Starting Windows" text, but then it freezes in the middle of the logo animation. This is where I am stuck.
    I certainly want help getting me through the installation but I also have a number of questions.
      *  Does Windows 7 normally support this type of UEFI installation?
      *  If UEFI booting is disabled (CSM) on UEFI-capable machine, what functionality do I give up?
      *  If Windows 7 installation is performed with UEFI boot disabled (CSM), can UEFI booting be enabled again after the installation process is finished?
    These are the instructions that Toshiba has, and they say to use CSM booting, but does that mean that UEFI Windows 7 is impossible on UEFI-capable Toshiba machines?
    https://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

    The only benefit that I have read is that - UEFI can support remote diagnostics and repair of computers, even without another operating system.
    from this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface
    I don't have any other information to offer.
    What do you think you are going to miss by changing to CSM?

  • Clean install from a Lenovo installa. dvd: UEFI vs Legacy + Thinkpad setup acc. to Lenovo user Guide

    Machine: T520 bought Feb. 2012
    O.S. W~7 Pro 64-bit
    I want to wipe the harddrive, buy a Lenovo W~7 PRO installation DVD, and do a completely clean installation.
    Lenovo User Guide (.pdf) Ch. 8, Adv'd Config, Installing Windows 7, p. 295 (212 of 298) says:
    Start Thinkpad setup, then choose UEFI versus Legacy, then insert the installation DVD.
    This obviously does not apply when the harddrive has already been wiped (necessary to 100% eliminate all traces of irreversible damage caused by a virus, including the re-installation partition (Q-drive).
    When an intallation DVD is purchased from Lenovo, is not the first step to insert the DVD ?!! Then presumably there is an installation wizard resulting in a restored O.S. ?!!
    If not, please tell me what surprises are in store, and where I can find a reliable written resource to consult !!!
    Thank-you.
    Solved!

    You're over-thinking this and making it harder than it needs to be.  The manual isn't helping...
    The BIOS is stored in non-volatile memory on the motherboard.  One would probably call it firmware, not software.  It is there regardless of what's on the HDD - or whether there's even an HDD installed.
    Turn your machine off.  Turn it on again.  When you see the logo screen, hit F1 - multiple times if necessary.  That gets you into the motherboard's BIOS configuration utility - what the manual is calling "Setup".
    Here's a snip below from the T520 BIOS configuration utility (actually from the on-line BIOS simulator).  In the StartUp tab you can see where UEFI/Legacy can be selected.  You can configure UEFI boot there.  Or "both".  Or - probably - just select Setup Defaults, save, and exit.

  • [UEFI] Problem with efibootmgr on asus 1215b

    Keeping the story short:
    - Bought an asus laptop the last month ( Asus eeepc 1215b with AMD e-450 APU).
    - Verified that system has uefi, hard drive comes formatted with old mbr.
    - This past week i've been having fun: delleted all partitions, created gpt disk, created new partitions, etc.
    - Succefully installed arch with archboot on a pen drive, skiped installing grub2, chrooted new installed system, succefully installed grub2 on efi system partition.
    - Tried running efibootmgr so i could see the grub2 entry in the uefi boot options, but every time i run the program it crashes and most of times locks the system.
    Tried looking for bugs related to efibootmgr but noting relevant comes up.
    The uefi shell reports that the system comes with uefi ver 2.0.
    I'm pretty sure that the problem lies in the asus inplementation since i can't even install windows 7 x64 sp1 on the system because the installer keeps rebooting the system with BSOD...
    The system has other "problems" in linux but i don't want to worry about them for now (watchdog error message, probably fixed on 3.1 kernel, broadcom wireless works ok with the driver from staging but with messages of missing funcionality, battery life reduce 2 hours compared to windows, etc).
    Rigth now my only way to start the system is to always load the uefi shell and then lauch grub.efi manually.

    @Diaz, the bug has been reported in Ubuntu here:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/879858
    It may be worth following it. Also it would be nice if you mark it as it affects you, to increase it's priority.
    Also there's a way to improve boot procedure:
    1) Create a file startup.nsh in your /boot/efi with the following content:
    fs0:boot
    2) Create a file called "boot.nsh" in /boot/efi with the following content:
    fs0:
    cd \EFI\ubuntu
    grubx64
    This will reduce boot procedure to just <F2> <left> <up> <enter> <enter>

  • HP Pavilion P2-1013w Desktop PC - UEFI Install with WIndows 8.1 Pro RTM causes hang

    I have an HP Pavilion P2-1013W Desktop PC with the UEFI enabled bios.
    With Windows 8.1 Pro RTM Build (MSDN Download available now from Microsoft - Released September 17th 2013 - Again,. this is 8.1, a.k.a. Windows Blue RTM)
    SATA Mode is set to AHCI
    BIOS is UEFI Enabled
    I boot from the Windows 8.1 Pro USB Installation Media using the UEFI: USB Storage option, Windows Setup starts. I get to the partitions screen, remove the partitions then click New. Windows Setup creates the 4 Partitions (Recovery, MSR, System and Primary) as expected.
    When I click Next and Setup begins to copy files, the system locks up. The mouse pointer stops moving, keyboard is unresponsive, and it will sit at 0% for as long as it's left on.
    After checking, Microsoft makes a few notes about the requirements. Setup will not run if the OS does not match the UEFI 'bitness'. If this were the issue, I would get a text-mode message about it being the wrong architecture. I don't get that. I get the install wizard, so it is supported.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824898.aspx Has more information.
    And I suspect this is a version problem as the original Windows 7 install was a UEFI install, not Legacy. It appears the BIOS firmware I have installed is not compatible with Windows 8.1.
    Will an update be made available? Or will I have to revert to WIndows 7 UEFI, and upgrade?

  • Optical Drive is not recognised in Windows 8.1 (x64), or in UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Description of Issue:
    Optical Drive is not recognised in Windows 8.1 (x64), or in UEFI System Diagnostics.
    Steps to Recreate:
    UEFI:
    Boot PC into UEFI System Diagnositcs (F2 at POST)
    Component Checks
    Optical Drive
    Sequential Check
    Error: Not Optical Drive Installed.
    Windows 8.1 (x64):
    Run Device Manager
    Error: No DVD/CD Drives section.
    Scanning for new hardware changes nothing.
    Relevent System Specifications:
    Laptop: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (Vanilla build)
    Optical Drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n
    Steps Already Taken to Solve:
    Replaced DVD drive with one from similar spec HP Pavilion. The gn70n hotswapped perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD Drive is working, and there are no issues with Windows 8.1 (x64).
    Removed DVD Drive. Rebooted computer. Log into Windows. Shutdown. Refit DVD Drive. Boot laptop. This attempts to solve hardware glitches with PnP devices; as well as helping to fix any intermittent loose connection problems. Conclusion: No change.
    Ran Troubleshooting for Hardware and Devices, via the Control Panel. Issue Found: Hardware changes might not have been detected. Exploring more options just takes you through to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, this is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Windows Help and Support is severely lacking. They show no more information than just that something has been detected as being wrong.
    Ran the Microsoft FixIt Optical Drive Troubleshooter and Automatic Repairer. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The troubleshooter reported that the device could not be found. It recommended removing all power cables, switching the device off and various other things that have no relevence to laptop hardware troubleshooting. It then said if the problem still persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows Troubleshooting cannot fix the problem.
    Run Windows Update to ensure all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is fully up to date.
    Run a full Rootkit and heuristic Malware scan, using Sbybot S&D 2.3; as well as a signature based scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.
    Notes:
    The DVD Drive is NOT showing up in the Device Manager, OR in This PC.
    The DVD Drive is NOT being detected by the UEFI System Diagnostics.
    There is NO reference to the DVD Drive in BIOS, other than as a boot option, which is generic.
    The DVD Drive, itself, DOES work, and has been verified on a different machine.
    This question was solved.

    Oh ok, that's fine. I was expecting to go through a first response resolution process. Once the gate keepers realise they're talking to someone who actually knows what they're talking about, it's usually pretty simple to skip through a lot of the script. Once you've got past the gate keepers once, it's usually easy to get a direct number for the actual resolution department.
    Will they question why I've opened up the case to exchange a 1TB HDD for an 80GB HDD? (The only physical spare I have, atm). I know they'll understand, I'm only worried about giving them any reason to deny the warranty on such an extensive fix.

  • UEFI & syslinux - system will not boot without keyboard plugged in

    Somewhat of a weird one. I have successfully gotten a UEFI Arch system booting, using the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … FI_Systems and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface wiki articles. Speficially, I used "efibootmgr" to install an boot entry on the system, with the "Syslinux" label showing up as a boot option in the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI setup utility. The system boots fine, displays the blue Syslinux menu, and starts the system.
    Except if there is no keyboard plugged into the system. In this case, the motherboard startup output displays, and immediately goes to a black screen, indefinitely. Once I plug in a keyboard (USB), the Syslinux menu immediately appears, and the system loads. But a keyboard is REQUIRED to be plugged in. I have disabled the BIOS option to "Wait for F1 on errors", and I have no problem booting MBR/BIOS-based OSes.  I initially felt that the issue was with Syslinux, and specifically that maybe the menu needs a keyboard present, but I tried disabling the menu and using just the "boot :" prompt, and the same problem exists. A black screen, until a keyboard is plugged in, after which "boot :" immediately appears.
    The system is a file server in a highly cramped closet at my house, and if I can I'd rather not dedicate a keyboard plugged into it all the time. Is there any way around this? If I could completely and totally disable the Syslinux menu and boot directly to Arch, I'd prefer that, but I'm not finding an immediate way to do that. I know I could potentially have the motherboard load the UEFI partition directly without a boot manager, but the wiki article says that that could cause problems....

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on UEFI Lenovo Z500?

    The basic premise is I try to dual boot the Z500 from its current Windows 8 preinstalled with an additional Windows 7.
    So here's what I already did:
    1. Turn off fast booting from Windows 8
    2. Turn off secure booting from BIOS (so that it can boot with DVD)
    3. Leave UEFI mode on
    4. Boot from DVD
    Now, I've done extensive research into it, and have known for a fact that the preinstalled windows 8 was on GPT drive, and therefore the same goes with the additional partition for Win 7 installation. And since GPT drive can only use UEFI booting (the other option being Legacy/CSM boot for MBR drive), then that's what I'd like it to stay.
    But the trouble is even though the DVD did goes into booting, it still freeze on Windows 7 starting screen.
    From multiple other sources, I can derive the culprit that says, even though Windows 7-64 bit can run in UEFI booting, it can't run in the new VGA BIOS (UEFI graphic protocol: GOP). And those sources says to force the UEFI to load old Legacy VGA BIOS ROM. Therefore, they can have Windows 7 running in UEFI boot on GPT drive but with old VGA ROM.
    Now the question is: Where is that switch in Z500 BIOS???
    Or is it only can be done by hacking method? If there's any hacking method at all, please share.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What Graz said.
    You'll need to enable CSM support to boot Win 7 in UEFI mode.
