Auto-boot from uefi (Edit3)
hey,
my friend got Dell Vostro 2521 laptop and it was running windows 8 64 bit (corrected, sorry)
its graphic card is Intel HD Graphics 4000
what happened is we clean installed the windows (8.1 64bit version) and all good till (finished copying files) and after that it restarts and shows a black screen (all the screen is blacked no logo or cursor loading)
i've tried:
loading defaults of bios
automatic repair
reinstall again
tried opening device manager like this thread and what happened is:
used this command " bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal " like this picture
and restarted it didn't work
been like this for 2 days
Edit (1) : Googled for 3 hours of reading and trying and no good
shall i get back to windows 7 ? i hope i can find and answer beside changing windows as i doesn't have access to another computer except friends
Edit (2) : can't backup it would take an effort and there's no problem with the windows itself, beside i don't think formating would help
Edit (3) :
the problem was that the setup from usb was uefi and it was booting from harddive and i have to change to boot from windows every startup
like this:
So now the problem is that i can't boot automatically
can't find uefi in bios
uefi firmware from advanced opens the same menu (Enter setup)
can't find in bios an option change to uefi
all i the system was win8 32bit and i used WinSetupFromUsb to make the flash bootable
then used partition wizard to resize the partition then faced the problem "Windows 8 cannot be installed to this drive" and i don't remember if it was GPT or MBR
Edit (4) :
The problem solved by updating the bios from a08 to a13 and changed to UEFI boot on boot settings (it wasn't there in a08 bios)
