Hi all, a friend of mine ask me to reinstall windows 8 on is samsung laptop np305e7a (That's what she wants, I'm not here to judge).
Short story it had windows 8 on it when bought. Then his brother wipe everything (including recovery partition) install win 7. So I did a fresh install of windows 8. And when I rebooted it, nothing happened except samsung logo. I can enter in the bios and the only way I can run windows 8 is by using boot override on the exit menu (aptio bios). Same thing for the DVD drive. I can't boot from it unless i do a boot override.
Secured boot is disabled
I selected UEFI or Legacy (I had choice between UEFI, CMS, UEFI or Legacy).
What's strange is that I can put the HDD on my Dell laptop and it boots like a charm... so I guess my problem isn't the windows installation but the bios.
Any Ideas how I could solve this issue (I have a couple day left before the computer goes back to europe with my friend).
Thanks in advance
