Hack BGRT and GPT partition scheme on disk/ #184

Closed tapochek666 closed 5 months ago

tapochek666 commented 5 months ago

For some reason, it is not written anywhere that it does not work if the disk has a GPT partition scheme!? When you boot Windows 11 from a GPT disk, instead of the Windows logo, the motherboard logo appears. Even without Hack BGRT, even with Hack BGRT.

It absolutely works with GPT and only GPT (since Windows doesn't support UEFI with MBR). If you have a problem, check the log. If you need help, post the log.

Here are 2 logs after installation on “I” and “J” + screenshots of what I now have on the efi partition. logs.zip

Looks like your computer resets the BootOrder (= skips HackBGRT and boots Windows directly). I don't know why this still happens for some people. After installing and rebooting, you can enter UEFI Setup (so-called BIOS) and manually set HackBGRT as the first boot option.

In the boot partition of my UEFI (BIOS), Windows Boot Manager is in first place, my ssd with the installed OS and efi partition is in second place, and USB is in third place. HackBGRT is not listed. Just for fun, I swapped Windows Boot Manager and SSD - to no avail. In the Boot Menu (F 12) this way or that way - in the first place is the Windows Boot Manager (SSD model), in the second place is USB and nothing else.

The setup log clearly shows that HackBGRT is added to NVRAM boot entries (unless you already uninstalled it?), so if it's still not visible in your boot menu, there's a problem with your firmware. Nothing more that I can do, sorry.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
