I purchased a retail version of Windows 8.1.
I also at the same time purchased a Western Digital Black 4 TB HD.
In order to format the HD as GPT and get the full 4 TB in one partition I have to install Windows 8.1 (x64) with UEFI.
My Computer:
ASUS p8z77-v pro - Bios 2104 (latest!)
XFX AMD 6950 2 GB
G.Skill Memory (12GB)
Intel i5-3570k (Ivy Bridge)
LG BluRay
ASUS PB278Q (dual link DVI)
I followed the tutorial I found here, which is to boot off of the DVD in UEFI, so I pushed F8 and picked that in the boot menu.
I get a blank screen. Eventually the computer reboots.
I've got into the CSM settings and set them in every possible combination from "Combined" to "UEFI only". No help.
I've changed the Secure boot option to "Other OS". No help.
I've deleted and reset the Secure boot keys. No help.
I've removed my video card entirely and switched to the motherboard's AV out. No help.
Is there something I'm missing?
