I just install windows 8 using BIOS , but now i want to change it to UEFI boot. so i followed steps below
1.create and format a new FAT32 partition K:
2.my windows8 is in I: so , i use this command bcdboot i:\windows /f all /s k: and succeeded.
3.i checked with the bootice about the BCD in my K: and found it indeed point to i:\windows\ just like the picture below

4. and i restart, choose uefi boot in BIOS configuration and it showed like this:

5. i checked my k:/windows/system32/ , there is a winload.efi file...
https://1ke1pq.dm2302.livefilestore...h9NNF0leoygtK67acALIcaBv8Y_Bz5LY/5.jpg?psid=1
The most strange thing is that i've copyed my winload.efi to other computer which is already in UEFI mode , and also i've copyed it in my virtual machine, it works fine! So my winload.efi should be OK. Then what the hell is it going on?
anyone who can give me a suggestion?
