Questions RE: UEFI Install
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:38 pm
1. I'm moving my boot drive from EMBR/BIBM to GPT/BootIt UEFI, and had a couple of questions:. In Work with Partitions, HD0 is a non-existent disk (see first attachment) described as "Unit(0x2)" I could perhaps understand if I was booting to the creation/recovery optical disc I made to install BootIt, but it remains when I boot to the actual boot disk that contains BootIt and O/S's, which appears as HD1 (second attachment). Note: HD2-HD5 are just data drives. What's up with that?
2. I've done a couple of test installs of BootIt and there seems to be inconsistency in the name of the bootable drive in BIOS. In a prior install, the bootable drive was named "BootIt UEFI....." or something similar. Now that name no longer appears in BIOS and the bootable drive is named "UEFI OS (SATA3_0).....". See last attachment.
Everything works fine, but just trying to understand what is going on. BIBM is rock solid and dependable and has never let me down in over 15 years. I see that on Page 6 of the User Manual for BootIt UEFI there is talk about UEFI issues. Maybe the issues noted above relate to such errata.
