Re: Uefi Bios
Ania Cozzolino
I am thinking about adding a SSD to my Desktop Pavilion P6-2378 and wanted to check the UEFI-BIOS and I can not seem to be able to access it. I have read a little on this board and followed several instructions that was given. I tried with constantly pressing F10 from restart and from a complete shut down. I can't seem to find any info about this in my computer help either. Thank you.
On my HP 8200 Elite CMT Business PC with a UEFI BIOS, I need to tap the ESC key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen to get a menu of options. I cannot just hit F10 or F9 (boot options) like the good old days.
I've tried that and it did not work for me. I have a new graphics card in and it doesn't seem to fire up the monitor right away. I've been messing with this for too long today and I have to walk away for a while:smileysad: Thank you, Paul...I've been reading that many have problems with this and there are so many different solutions...it's kinda' crazy.
i tried this,my computer power switch turns amber and beeps continuously,held power button to turn off,then turned back on and it beeps again,i had to pull the power cord after switching off,then when i turned it on it booted to windows,i have a p6-2307a with updated graphics card and power supply to match card,
I have had the same problem with adding an upgraded Video Card to my p6 2378 with Windows 8. The solution for me was I had to remove the upgraded card, the go through the previous recommended steps to enter the bios. When you get to the bois you have to disable 'Secure Boot' and enable 'Legacy Boot'. Then turn off and reinstall the video card. It has worked perfectly after that.
im trying to install a new graphics card on my new hp envy 700. i was told i need to get in the bios and change the settings. so i followed these steps and the thing is. when i get to the last restart sceen and click restart i get a black screen and i get nothing. so therefor i cant get into the settings i need to get in to. any solutions?
Hello, I have the following problem:
I want to remove the Veracrypt bootloader option from my UEFI boot options.
I've formatted the hard drive and even removen it from the machine at this point.
However, the following boot option persisist in the UEFI, even when no drive is present in the machine:
"VeraCrypt BootLoader (DcsBoot)"
I've tried resetting the bios, manually disabling the item, I've used the jumpers to clear out the bios but nothing helps!
If you can somehow remove the VeraCrypt entry on the EFI partition, this should solve the issue. Note: you may need to repair the Windows boot loader afterwards. Please research carefully. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on this subject will be able to help you.
The only other option is to erase the entire hard drive (the one that VeraCrypt was used on) with something like a DBAN boot disk (rather than just reformatting, which may have only erased the NTFS partition and not the EFI one).
After erasing the entire hard drive, resetting the TPM (if present) and clearing the BIOS (as per my earlier post), re-install Windows in UEFI mode again - disable CSM in the BIOS before installing Windows (then save and exit the BIOS).
Do the following in Windows...
Download the latest BIOS version (non-beta) from the computer manufacturer for the brand and model number of your computer; if the computer was self built, download from the motherboard maker's website for that brand and model of motherboard.
The files are usually zipped up; extract all the files into a folder.
Right-click on the executable file, then left-click Run as Administrator. Follow the on-screen instructions. DO NOT power off or interrupt the BIOS update, as you could brick the motherboard!
same problem with this piece if crap software,,,,i was installing and when it wanted to pre-test the encyption...the password wouldnt be accepted in the bootup from bios....now i got the dam veracrap in my bios bootloader with the other OS's...sincevim beta testing its not such a big deal...but there really needs to be a script code thst is implemented after you unstill this crap software so it erases all the crap it put into my bios....now i have yo take the battery out,,,jump my cmos,,,erasure all my partition drives on a duel boot system..and hope that flushes it out....my god what a pain in the ass
UEFI is not BIOS! UEFI does not have CMOS, so, removing the battery will not change anything. Boots enties stored in small flash area in UEFI chip in motherboard. It can be easly edited with special software like EasyUEFI or BOOTICE.
Yes, this is a bug in uninstaller, but the efi module appeared in VeraCrypt just recently and the author simply does not have enough resources to solve all situations with new hardware. Paid and extremely expensive BestCrypt Volume Edition has the same bug.
I have been wanting to switch to Linux for many years, and I finally took the step to download a Fedora 30 KDE live CD iso (actually USB) and give a try installing it. Since this is the computer I use for work, I want to keep a dual-boot system with Windows 7, at least during a transition period. The installation has not been successful though, and after spending all day today trying to figure out what might be the problem I found this video: Install Fedora 23 in Legacy Mode (Dual Boot Windows 7/8/10) - YouTube which was very helpful.
So my USB boots in UEFI mode, but I would like to install it in legacy BIOS mode. Is there any way to do this? Can I burn the USB in a different way so that it would boot in legacy mode, or can I add a configuration switch somewhere?
is there a way to change this command to make it run the legacy mode? i tried changing linuxefi to linux and initrdefi to initrd and run Ctrl-x, and the system did start, but I get the same errors as before with anaconda still trying to install and EFI system.
In my bios at least i can choise the option 1 or 2. If i select the option 1 i am only disponible to install in UEFI mode so that when I place the usb only can see UEFI:USB install. If I choise the option 2 I will can choise into 2 options when I place the USB:
I think you do need check your configuration into the BIOS. The only thing what is strange to me about it that you did comment is what if you can run only UEFI How is windows 7 loading in mode BIOS, it is what is chocking me.
Yes, I went to my HP BIOS manual and I double checked that the settings are enabled to be able to run both. As my boot loader is a bit fucked up atm, I need to get to the BIOS boot menu to start the system anyways, and the options I can choose there are (the comments in parenthesis are mine) :
Yes!!!
Thank you so much. The USB that RUFUS burned finally was able to be loaded in legacy BIOS mode and after that it was a 10 minute smooth ride to a successfull installation. Now I have a fully functional dual boot.
If you have servers that use UEFI BIOS, the Linux BES Client (as of 9.5.4.38) is not able to query smbios/dmi info. Feel free to vote on the RFE I just created for this to get this included in a future release. Thanks
I just tried the debian based update procedure on my Jetson Xavier NX and there seems to be an issue. After following the steps described in the document and doing the power cycle, the UEFI bios starts up, shows an upgrade progress bar, which gets to 11% and then stops, seems to reboot to the normal UEFI bios startup screen, which then boots into Ubuntu. But when it gets there I get a GUI that tells me that in order to complete the update process, I have to reboot.
When I do this I again get the UEFI update screen, which gets to 11% etc.
This seems to loop around forever, so I assume that there is an issue with the UEFI update side of things.
Does anybody have any information how to complete the upgrade process to Jetpack 5.1.2 successfully.
I also added a comment about my problems to the release message of JetPack 5.1.2 and another moderator (after first telling me to make a specific post about my issues, which is this one) answered there with the following suggestion:
