In short, I can't get my ODD or HDD to show up as UEFI options in boot manager and I've spent hours trying to do so.
They do show up as legacy however and if I set everything to UEFI only, my drives disappear and it says "No Bootable Device Found".
I'm trying to install Windows 7 x64 to a 4TB HDD and it's pointless if I can't boot windows in UEFI because I want my HDD to be one partition and formatted GPT.
The first time I tried to install windows it partitioned my HDD, I assume because it was using MBR.
I haven't formatted the HDD since so I also assume that's why it won't show as UEFI, but it doesn't explain the issue with my ODD, does it?
Anyway, I greatly appreciate any help on this subject. I've scoured the internet for help but to no avail. Most of what i found had people dealing with RAID setups and Ubuntu.
And one more thing. I used Q-flash to update my BIOS (with success) and the 512MB flash drive I used DID show up as UEFI in boot manager. And yes, I experienced the same problems both before and after I updated the BIOS.
Here is my hardware...
MOBO - GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 5 with UEFI DualBIOS
ODD - LG Black BH16NS40
HDD - WD BLACK WD4003FZEX 4TB 7200 RPM
CPU - Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150
RAM - G.SKILL Sniper Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 F3-2400C11Q-32GSR
