    Partition Question - First UEFI system


    Threadjack! I kid, no problem at all! This is my second day of booting a system with UEFI. I could never get it working properly on my older HP Ultrabook.

    My wife's Acer is extremely fussy about how the thumb drive is created for a UEFI install. It has to be formatted in the FAT file system or it will not boot from it. I used option two here, diskpart. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...e-windows.html Doing it that way it's good for UEFI and Legacy installs. My two desktop PC's are legacy BIOS. My ASUS laptop on the other hand, will let you install in UEFI mode with an NTFS formatted thumb drive. I use Fat anyway though. That same procedure works for Windows 10 too, you just use a Windows 10 ISO instead of an 8.1 ISO. Good install media is half the battle, IMHO.

    I did one the other day using a 64GB Thumb/Flash drive and found that Windows forced FAT32 partitioning/formatting at only 32GB but the remaining 32GB couldn't be dealt with in Windows Disk Management, had to boot to a GPARTED LiveCD to clean things up. It's simply a limit of Windows, put a new 64GB MicroSD in my Dell Venue 8 as Drive D for storage and it is formatted as exFAT, works just fine.
