Hi
I have been able to do this before with Win 7 64, and win 8 64 RP but now it doesn't work anymore.
I wasn't sure where to post this but this seems as good a spot as any.
My specs are
Mobo: asrock z77 extreme4 (had bios 2.0, updated to 2.40, still nothing)
CPU: i5 3570k OC 4.5 (stable)
8GB ram
HD 7970
HDD: Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166 empty partition + Data
SSD: Corsair Force GT 120 Gb Win 7
on the SSD is a Win 7 on MBR and the 3TB HDD has 100GB empty space at the begging where I wanted to install Win 8...(where it has been before) the problem is, for that I need to boot the installer in UEFI mode. I have been able to do this previously but even then the UEFI:xxx option when selecting boot device showed up only sometimes... now it doesn't show up at all, either for the Win 7 DVD or Win 8, it did however show up on a USB stick (with win 8) I made ONLY if I made it on fat32, but then it would just hang when selecting it on a black screen with a small " _ " in the top left corner. ( I redid the USB in FAT32 and now when I select "UEFI: USB..." it just blinks and remains on the Select boot device menu.
So my question is what settings do I have to set in the UEFI setup utility for the UEFI boot options to show up?
I have it set to ahci, of course. THe manual states only to have it set on ahci and select UEFI:xxx at boot.
Is there anything I can do? or is something broken here... I tried reseting the CMOS, it didn't make it better
thank you for any help
