    Default Windows 8 Pro

    Hi there, I have a external dvd rom and trying to boot using the UEFI function but it does not want to load. I'm using the f11 option to make sure of it. What can I do? Is there a setting in the bios? The USB option loads and I can install using this my option. But I need to install OS using UEFI.

    One of the F11 boot options doesn't list the dvd/usb as UEFI: (insert dvd/usb stick name here) ?

    And it would be helpful if you would go to "Edit my Profile" and enter your system specs so that we know what HW you're using/discussing/asking help for.

    And don't forget, AFIK, to date, the usb stick must be formatted FAT32 to use as a medium for UEFI install.
