Win7 reinstall UEFI problem
I had a successful windows 7 installation on a Samsung spin point in UEFI. I recently purchased a crucial SSD and went to reinstall. When I go to install now it is installing in BIOS mode not UEFI.
Here are my steps:
Booted install media in UEFI mode
converted SSD to GPT using Diskpart and verified
Selected the SSD to install
Finished install
When it is finished it boots windows 7 in BIOS mode and the SSD has been converted back to MBR. I am not changing any of the steps that worked successfully for me before so I am not sure what is going on.
The only thing that I think could be happening is that in the UEFI bios there is still an entry in the boot order for the windows boot manager even though that HDD is no longer in the system.
How do I remove the Windows Boot Manager entry from the bios or how do I completely clear the bios of all boot information?
(I don't care about any of my setting in the bios as I have them wrote down and can just go back in to change them.)
