Hey everyone,
Have any of you successfully installed Windows 8 with UEFI on a RevoDrive X2 (PCI-E express card)?
Any suggestions?
It starts the installation just fine for the RevoDrive X2 after loading it's drivers, but on first restart it...:
It installs and runs just fine with legacy BIOS (MBR) for the RevoDrive X2.
It also installs and runs just fine with UEFI on an internal SATA2 HDD.
Things I've done:

- No boot drive found.
- Manually select to boot from the RevoDrive from the boot menu (F11), and it just restarts the installation again from scratch.

Things I've done:
- Bootable Windows 8 USB formatted as FAT32 w/EFI folder in it
- Enabled wake on PCI-E/PCM in UEFI
- Booting from USB from boot menu (F11) and not set to always boot from USB.
