When it appears, click Create and format hard disk partitions. which is another reason I chose legacy CSM boot. Open Disk Management by launching the Start menu and typing 'disk management'. This issue isn't present with legacy CSM, so I'm using that mode at the moment to boot.Īlso of note, Windows 7 fails to boot under UEFI, setup hangs on the animated Windows logo splash screen right after the 'Loading Files' stage is done. It seems Windows must set some flag in the BIOS (for fast-startup purposes, perhaps?) that interferes with being able to pull up the BIOS if said flag has been set until a restart is made from the OS.įWIW, Ubuntu 13.04 Live CD boots for me with UEFI on, but ONLY when the Built-in LAN is disabled - must be some UEFI issue, if it's enabled I just get a black screen past the GRUB menu.

When I switched the original hard drive to a new SSD I purchased without changing the boot option as I just mentioned, I was unable to enter the BIOS to change the settings until I replaced the original hard drive and performed a restart of the pre-loaded Windows 8 OS. I should mention one particular tricky issue with the 1.10 BIOS version I have on my laptop.
