https://bbs.archlinux.org – I've had a nightmare of a time installing Arch with UEFI (Z77e-itx). At first I couldn't get Arch to boot after a few installs, then I managed to get a working system but my windows hard drive somehow managed to lose its boot-loader. I've heard installing from CDR is much easier in regards to UEFI, but when I try to boot in UEFI mode from CDR I get an error saying that a config file required is missing or unable to load. When installing Windows 8 on another drive from USB, I am given two options, UEFI boot or normal boot, and the UEFI one doesn't work. So I install Win8 nor (HowTos)

Thanks for the response. I originally thought you could only install a boot loader on a UEFI motherboard if your boot drive was using GPT, but from what I understand of your post this is not required and I can either install Arch Linux in UEFI mode with an ESP or in legacy mode without an ESP.

Hey Guys!So, I just recently got a new laptop a few days ago and it came with Windows 8 (Inspiron 15z w/ i7 + nontouch (5523)) and therefore also a UEFI motherboard by default and I love it. Maybe it's because UEFI feels more modern than BIOS but that's besides the point.The problem I'm having is a little frustrating when trying to boot an ARCH_201302 USB in UEFI mode.

I got a new DELL XPS 8500 with Windows 8. I understand that it has UEFI (as opposed to traditional boot-loading BIOS system).

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 (not realizing that it doesn't work as well with the secure-load/uefi system). I partitioned my solid state drive so Windows was on one partition, and Ubuntu would be on a new one (sdb7). This always worked with my PREVIOUS computer...

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)
