Here is my suggestion for you before you go any further

• The option For your CDROM/DVDROM just make use of the SATA of Intel Chipset (1-6)
• place EFI in BIOS
• make use of previous Bios that is F6 for GA-P67A-UD7-B3
• SATA have to be RAID(XHD) or AHCI

Like above I have a question I actually have an problem to get information on whether Hybrid EFI actually boot GUID Partition Table disks? as well, if so, is there a suggested is it how to install Win 7 64-bit such that'll blissfully install the of the boot drive GPT? I suppose it will need oscdimg.exe, as there looks to be no hint of the EFI Shell as being one in every of the items that Gigabyte selected to graft onto their BIOS. Apart from that I’m excited they did not jump into EFI entire hog like everybody else. I actually have an Adaptec dedicated RAID card that the new EFI presently does not play good with. I would be really appreciation this if you help me solve this
