No UEFI DVD Boot drive in SecureCore Tiano 2.2 UEFI BIOS
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:53 pm
Ok a new bare bone Intense PC Pro with the version 337 Phoenix Tiano 2.2 UEFI BIOS. Added the 16Gb of memory, the Samsung 840pro, and a 802.11ac WiFi radio. Hardware all that left is the mSATA drive.
A Blue Ray/DVD is connected to USB3 or USB 2 Port. (Tried both)
Bios sees the Drive as a normal Legacy DVD device. Now normally to Load Win7 x64 Pro under UEFI vise Legacy BIOS. You Install the DVD. Reboot. If you go into BIOS you then two DVD drive choices to boot. Legacy DVD and UEFI DVD. You must boot from the UEFI DVD to install Win 7 x64 under UEFI and get the EFI and MSR partitions.
I can't seem to get the UEFI DVD boot drive option here! I enabled "UEFI boot" in the BIOS. I also noticed the bios has Internal Shell which is the UEFI shell and it can launch into the Shell. So its got be UEFI BIOS. Though not clear how it did that since normally that stored on the EFI Partition in a folder. And that not been made nor loaded here as yet. There is clearly some other storage area some where you place the EFI shell v2.33. I'd like details on that. When it's on the EFI FAT32 Partition #0 it's upgradable. I've know I've done twice on my laptop which uses Tiano.
But, back to point. HOW DO WE THE OWNERS GET THE UEFI DVD BOOT option to show up in the boot menu choices. Clearly something is wrong here from the norm. One part of me says this is a UEFI BIOS and the other says it's not.
I'm stopping the build on these and would like answers.
The customer.
I'll keep play on my end maybe I'll figure this out but please get back to me on your end fast. Time a ticking. No answer and i'll just have to send them back. Vise take a loss on my end.
