Re: Cannot install windows 7 64 bit on SATA 3 UEFI drives To the Windows Setup to boot from the USB stick in UEFI mode, you usually have to explicitly select the UEFI boot mode via the BIOS boot menu, select the firmware - otherwise it starts again the BIOS-compatible bootloader. |

Re: Cannot install windows 7 64 bit on SATA 3 UEFI drives If you have access to a UEFI-enabled PC with an x64 version of Windows 7, you need the missing bootloader copy only to the stick and rename. To do this: Look on the system partition under Windows\Boot\Efi for the file bootmgfw.efi. This copy to the stick in the folder \efi\boot and rename it into bootx64.efi - done. UEFI firmware does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. |
