Secure boot support ? #36

Open solsticedhiver opened 3 years ago

solsticedhiver commented 3 years ago

With Secure Boot enabled, I was not able to boot a usb key made with woeusbgui

I don't know if it is expected or not. A mention about Secure Boot in the README.md would be appreaciated, wheter this is expected to work or fail.

I had to make a usb key with the Microsoft Media Creatin Tool to be able to boot a Windows Live usb.

using Microsoft Media Creation Tool, were you able to boot with Secure Boot enabled ?

if you went on Windows, did you try Rufus? https://github.com/pbatard/rufus if yes, were you able to boot with Secure Boot enabled ?

link to this should be in README.md: https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs#user-content-limitations

Secure Boot must be disabled for UEFI:NTFS to work.

I booted fine the Live usb key I created wit "Media Creation Tool" with Secure Boot enabled. That was the point.

It was to fix the boot of Windows 10 after the move to anoher HDD.

technically now uefi:ntfs supports secure boot, so it should woeusb but i haven't tested

FYI, I successfully created a secure boot USB with WoeUSB-ng CLI and the following command:

sudo /usr/local/bin/woeusb --device /path/to/Win11_22H2_English_x64v2.iso /dev/sda --target-filesystem NTFS --workaround-skip-grub --verbose

Replace /dev/sda with the disk to write (find with sudo parted -l).
