Windows 10: Secure Boot is removing Boot from HardDrive as a Boot Option

Hello,


My main SSD ended up getting corrupted somehow and had to install a brand new blank SSD in my Alienware R13. I have since installed Win10 from a usb drive onto the SSD and it is working as expected.


However, when I go into the BIOS to enable "Secure Boot" again to turn on additional security features, it no longer boots from the hard drive. Only has network boot options as options in the EUFI boot order options. When I select "Add boot option" it doesn't recognize any media...


If I disable Secure Boot and put it into Legacy Mode then I can boot from the hard drive no problem.


Any ideas?


Thanks,

James

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

 

PC keeps booting to IDE instead of RAID

It might not be listed as harddrive. ie it shows devices to boot from, and one of the devices is harddrive, another option defines the order of the harddrives. The RAID controller might be listed as seperate device.
Of course this is different per board.

 

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Oh and OSX

Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.
