If I were any of you having problems setting up your system with UEFI, or without for that matter, I would use ARCHboot.The Wiki is here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchbootBut you can download the image from any of the mirrors.
I'm trying to properly install Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64-bit PC (AMD64) with the alternate install CD ".iso" on a lenovo Thinkpad X220.
Default Hard Disk (with a pre-installed version of Windows 7) has been replaced with a brand new SSD.
The UEFI BIOS of the lenovo Thinkpad X220 is set to "UEFI Boot only" & "USB UEFI BIOS Support" is enabled (I'm using an external USB DVD reader to perform Ubunt
The iso supports both BIOS boot and UEFI boot. Some firmwares have issues booting the isos which support both. Only in such cases should the UEFI boot support be removed.In a similar way it is also possible to create a UEFI-only bootable iso, but neither archiso nor archboot are built that way.

Which instructions? I don't see how you can have "followed exactly the steps" as described on overclockers *and* all the ways described in the wiki.If you installed grub2 as described in the wiki while in BIOS mode, all you need to do is boot in UEFI mode to complete the installation. I used Ubuntu to do this but anything which will boot UEFI will do.
I recently purchased an Aspire XC600, but am having trouble installing Arch. I haven't installed on UEFI before. I want Arch as the only OS on the disk.
I wrote the Archboot x86_64 image to a USB stick and booted from it successfully. The booting had to be done through a compatibility layer.
In the "Install Bootloader" step, I chose UEFI_x86_64, EFISTUB and GUMMIBOOT_UEFI.
First time you broke fedora because you was using standard iso without uefi support.Second time with arch you installed bootloader to mbr - most certainly this wasn't uefi install.After this I have no idea what you have done Now let's start fresh - how to install arch in uefi mode:Make sure your disk has gpt partition table - if you went back to mbr, it very easy to format to gpt and cre

Out of curiosity, how is it that you are so incredibly informed on the ways of UEFI?I implemented UEFI support in Archboot and wrote the PKGBUILDs for grub-efi-* pkgs. I maintain most of the *-efi-git UEFI bootloaders pkgs in AUR.
