GPT Hard drive issues with installing Windows 7 Ultimate..

Do Step three next.
3) Reset BIOS to default, and reboot to BIOS make sure Secure Boot is disabled.
NOTE: Check your manufacturer's uEFI BIOS manual for settings.
Startup Options Menu - Boot to in Windows 8

& so on.

I have disabled secure boot saved changes and still only the HDD shows up when i go into the boot menu, do i have to put the dvd drive at .1 and hdd at .2? Sorry for being such a pain haha

 

[theog]

NO.

Have you looked at Step four & five?

 

[DrWolfenstein]

yes and it does not help i still only have the option of booting one the hdd, one option only comes up.

 

[theog]

Do you have a BOOT OVERRIDE in your uEFI/BIOS firmware.

 

[DrWolfenstein]

Not that i can see no, im back in BIOS and nothing there for BOOT OVERRIDE

 

[theog]

On my test PC, it is on last page.

 

[DrWolfenstein]

cannot even see test pc on the last page?

 

[theog]

edit: my test PC.

 

[DrWolfenstein]

is that on UEFI/BIOS page or on and through somewhere on the desktop, as i cannot see nothing at all in BIOS for my test pc

 

[theog]

Look in BOOT OPTION, looking at your screenshot.

This my test PC with three hd Drives, one DVD Drive, one USB Pendrive (0.00).

 

[DrWolfenstein]

nope not in the boot option nothing!

 

[theog]

Looking at your screenshot, there is no uEFI support DVD in the DVD drive.

Boot Override.

[DrWolfenstein]

So what exactly does that mean, what can i do about it? I really cannot make anything out from them shots

 

[theog]

Listing top tp bottom.

1) HD Drive one: uEFI Windows 8 installed
2) uEFI USB Pendive: uEFI Windows 7 installer.
3) uEFI DVD Drive with uEFI Windows 8 DVD
4) HD Drive two: uEFI Windows 7 installed
5) Not in use
6) HD Drive three: Windows XP install
7) not in use
8) not in use

 

[DrWolfenstein]

right but where do i go from here? i cannot see my drive in the boot menu. If i just make a usb stick with my win 7 iso disc can i go on from there?

 

[DrWolfenstein]

as i cannot select my disc to boot from, as the drive does not show up in the menu. I cannot boot the disc from the desktop either. I'm beginning to give up haha

 

[theog]

You can make a USB installer here:
UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows

Check PC manual for BIOS setting.

 

[DrWolfenstein]

the manual has nothing in it really lol

 

[DrWolfenstein]

made the UEFI USB and that does not even show up in the boot menu!!!
