Hello I want to install Ubuntu 12.10 on an UEFI machine with manual partitioning.
Do I have to disable "Secure Boot"?
Do I have to create a 2nd ESP (EFI System Partition) for Ubuntu?
Do I have to give it the boot flag?
Do I have to set mount point /boot/efi?
Do I have to install grub on /dev/sda?
I am used to BIOS installation where:
/dev/sda1 100 MB Windows 7 hidden System Partition
/dev/sd

Hi there,
I hope you can help me on this. I recently bought an Asus UX31A ultrabook and it seems to have an EFI (or UEFI, not sure about the nomenclature) boot, which I'm unfamiliar with.
I have been partitioning manually for years before installing the system, because I like to have my home partition separate from the root one.
attempted to install 12.04.2 64 bit along side win 7 64 bit on an ssd using standard mbr NOT GPT using usb guide
asus M5A97 PRO amd motherboard with UEFI bios that does NOT support secure boot
installed to sda along side win7 and win7 system partition / /home and swap
I was forced to use the uefi boot option to run the usb, it would not boot the standard way and I tried using both unetbootin and
I had set my PC like this:
/boot - 250 MB ext3
/ 80 GB ext4, Kubuntu
Now I needed to install Ubuntu so I made a new 8 GB partition as / and formatted the previous /boot partition and set that same partition as new /boot for this new installation.
The thing is that now my Kubuntu partition is like just a /home partition and a few other system folders but without a /boot and grub sees only the
I have a working Ubuntu uefi-install(12.10). My hdd is partioned with gpt and the efi-partition is on "sda1", and I have a bios-grub partition at "sda2". Ubuntu is installed and is booting perfectly in uefi-mode, and obviously has everything in place, like uefi-firmware and bootloader. I then installed Crunchbang the usual way, in legacy-mode, and grub is written to mbr/sda.
I have been running my previous arch install for years with very little problems. Recently with the /usr/lib issues and grub2 updates I had a few issues and decided this would be a good time to rebuild, and decided I would try btrfs, and add some ssd tweaks, etc.So using the new scripted install process. Did the manual partitioning,:Booting to arch boot CD and using gdisk ....
Hi.
What is the proper way of installing Fedora twice on a UEFI disk.
I tried but whas not able to access the old install...
i.e can 2 Fedora installs share UEFI/EFI partition ?
I access UEFI from the computer's BIOS when I install Fedora it gives me as 'Fedora entry' from the bios UEFI boot selector - however if install a 2nd Fedora that takes its place (i can;t access old version)
Apologies if this has already been covered; if it has I couldn't find it. First and foremost, this question does NOT pertain to a dual-boot system. I wish to set up a F16 system which uses GPT partitioning and needs a bios boot partition. I have two identical HDD's that will be set up as RAID 1 using software RAID.
