Hi All,
I bought a new Acer V5-572 Laptop which came pre-installed with Linux and BIOS was UEFI mode selected. To install windows 8.1, I made a installable USB of windows 8.1 and selected Legacy boot in BIOS to boot from it. While installing I formatted the harddisk completely using DISKPART "clean" command. Finally, Windows 8.1 got installed on Legacy boot mode.
But now when I changed the boot mode from Legacy to UEFI, it doesnt boot from anything(not even from same USB) and gives error i.e no bootable device.
I tried ALT+F10 for going to Acer Factory setting, even that doesnt work. May be I have formatted System Recovery/Factory settings partition as well.
Can anybody help me here to boot from Windows - USB on UEFI mode ?
Thanks
Nitin
