Can't install the efi #68

Closed Fraudly closed 1 year ago

I tried to install efi, but it says it does not support legacy (non-uefi) even though I have "UEFI only" in CSM IMG_7159

From the device path being booted (/USB(..),/HD(1,MBR,..)) you can see that this is a legacy MBR drive (or possibly USB stick, whatever you are booting from). This is independent from the CSM or any other settings in the BIOS setup. A UEFI installation would show /USB(..),/HD(1,GPT,..) instead for a GPT disk.

Your BIOS is configured correctly, you simply need to partition the disk as GPT disk (a Google search should point you to some guides for how to do this). EfiGuard is working as intended in this scenario since it does not work with legacy (MBR/BIOS) installations of Windows like it says on the screen.
