Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 UEFI Installation with DVD DL

[cajosx]

Hi,

I've build a custom installation of WINDOWS 7 Ultimate x64 SP1.
My installation is about 8,3GB and I had to burn it to a DVD Double Layer.
I want to install it to a UEFI system.

I went to BIOS and in the UEFI menu I see the Drive of DVD with the EUFI enabled, but when select this drive to start is begins to start Windows normally.

If I select to start the install from normal option it start to install withou UEFI.

I have burn the iso to a USB PEN and if select the the UEFI option It shows the option from starting the UEFI boot.

I have tried this in three diferent computers and is equal in all.

If I begin a installation with a DVD in UEFI mode it start OK.

IS this a DVD DL problem that cannot start in UEFI?

Are you following the steps for UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums?

If the unnecessary All-in-one DVD doesn't work correctly then download the ISO for the license you own and burn to DVD from Steps 1 and 2 of Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

To use flash stick also needs special steps for UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows.

If UEFI doesn't work for you then you can always Bypass UEFI to Install WIn7

I've done all that and i can install UEFI with DVD and USB, only when using DVD DL i cant.
I want to share to people that cannot or dont know to install via USB.

PS. I have burned several DVD's DL with several programs and the final result is the same.

Thanks

I had used several brands of DVD DL and the result is the same.

Thanks

Nobody? Gurus of installation issues where are you?

 

[gregrocker]

What is it you're asking exactly? You said you were able to install with single layer DVD. What burner did you use to burn the unnecessary DL DVD?

 

[cajosx]

I've burned the image with Nero 14, Nero 11, Magic ISO, ImageBurn, PowerIso.
I can install Windows in UEFI with USB, and DVD Single Layer.
Only with DVD Double Layer I cant.
In the Bios select the DVD UEFI, but when restarting doestn's start with UEFI boot DVD DL, it start Windows.

Thanks.

No reason to use DL DVD.

 

[cajosx]

But I want do use DVD DL due to size of image.

From what you have said in your posts, looks to me your image is Legacy mode only.

 

[cajosx]

But the BIOS shows UEFI in the DVD option and i have build the USB from the same iso image.

You could try using the built in Windows 7 Disc Image Writer.

I've tried and didn't work either.
Then I tried sometinhg:
- My iso was made bootable with dual mode, normal install & UEFI install;
- I created a iso just with UEFI boot and it worked. I went do BIOS select the UEFI DVD option and it boots with UEFI;
- When the DVD DL is created with the dual boot only boots in normal mode

Any sugestions ?

If it`s not going to work then try multiple SL dvd`s.

Looking back at post #1 the OP seems to have a "8.3 GB Installation".
Why do you have a 8.3Gb installation, normal Win 7 install fits on 1 single layer DVD.

You may be the pioneer in what you are trying to do with your configuration for installation and burning!
Keep trying settings "tweaks" to see if you can find a solution for what you want to do.

How do we do that with SL DVD ?
