    Secure Boot Not Changing


    I was about to install linux mint to my surface pro 4 so I could dual boot it with windows. It told me that I needed to disable bitlocker so I did. With bitlocker uninstalled I have no way of booting from my USB because my secure boot wont change. Whenever I click microsoft & 3rd party CA and press ok, it just reverts back to Microsoft only. Also I have no re enable bitlocker option in control panel but I dont care about that if I manage to install linux.


    Any support would be helpful thx

    :)

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    • 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.

    Secure Boot Not Changing

    Changing boot hdd

    I downloaded PartitionMagic8.0, but the partition i want to make is not bootable.
    So the system boots from the old, loud hdd, and when i unplug the old, it doesnt boot.
    Any advice or suggestions how to change boot hdd without reinstalling Winxp?
