Boot Settings

Post by Roderunner »

Hi Folks,
How do I set Win8 with a UEFI motherboard to act like a motherbord with BIOS. So far, if its set to boot from disk, it gives an error when no disk is in the drive.

Is it possible to boot Windows 8 with UEFI disabled after it has been installed?
(Not being there in the first place would not be a problem I guess.)

(I guess most computers with it, UEFI, have settings to disable the UEFI mode, using Compatibility Support Module, CSM, or legacy boot mode, as well as secure boot. But if you want to install something else, then we're in the wrong subforum. :smile:)
