If it’s safty you are thinking of, then only disable secure boot when a boot repair or config is needed. There are no specific “settings”, neither are there any in BIOS. If you are purchasing a new machine you will not have any choice. It offers much more config settings than BIOS and in an easier way to get at it. I really do not want UEFI? Are any other reasons to have UEFI? I’ll stop here, I will follow this thread closely in bitsNpieces.

Question: If I decide to have only BIOS, are there any settings you would recommend based on your experience? Question: If I decide to have only UEFI, are there any settings you would recommend based on your experience? Question: If UEFI’s main advantage is in the Secure Boot, what devices can boot the desktop, then I really do not want UEFI? Are any other reasons to have UEFI?

Internal hard-drive īecause I do not at all understand the choices that are found in the Options and Priority blocks, I have no idea on how to “write” the above 6 choices into Boot Options and Boot Options Priority. My question concerns the three Boot Options, and the Boot Options Priority apparently within the Legacy-BIOS portion. I have tweaked UEFI/BIOS combine to reflect as much BIOS as possible. F6 & Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Belarc reports: Boot Mode: Legacy BIOS in UEFI & UEFI: American Megatrends Inc. I have AMI Aptio F6 BIOS in my Antec VSK3000E desktop, running Windows 7 Professional. I have a larger SSD coming for my OS, but I'm afraid things will get screwed up again if I can't get this EFI stuff figured out/get Legacy enabled.: Added the below in the first original post to avoid “forcing everybody” to the bottom of this thread.ĪMI Aptio F6 BIOS Win7Pro Will someone give me some simple instructions. I'm lost, don't understand, computer contradicting itself, I want Legacy, LOL. I tried the 3rd disk (which is still MBR) and the installation went right through. With two of the SCSI HD's I got the error: On EFI systems win can only be installed to GPT disks. Formatted the SSD, and tried installin Win 7 to an empty SCSI. This worked for ~2 days and then I rebooted the computer and all I could get was the BootMgr missing error. I think I read somewhere that this BIOS can be set to legacy, which is what I want to do (so I know what I'm doing, lol).īTW, when I upgraded last week I initially had the OS installed on the SSD. The third SCSI has 5 partitions, 4 formatted and empty, the fifth has the OS. Two of the SCSI are empty, formatted as 1 partition) and have somehow ended up as GPT drives. There are 4 drives in the computer, one SSD (unused) and 3 SCSI. When I get the drive moved up to number 1, I get the error that the Boot MGR is missing, and tells me to restart with Ctrl-Alt-Del. I finally have Win 7 Home Premium installed and running, but the drive is listed number 4 in the boot order. I don't really know where to start, I know nothing about this UEFI stuff.
