    Yes it did need 61 posts in order to get manos_slimshady to trust and understand what he/she is about to do. Not everyone is a computer guru. After all this is a learning site.

    A better question here is "do we really need post #62 and now #63. Tito and the rest of the mods here are not stupid and if they thought this was a go no where thread they would have closed it.

    Don't advise the use of opatool it is totally outdated, i,e, certificates e.c.t. have not been updated.

    Because of 2 reasons -

    1. He didn't invent it - he added a GUI to an existing method of injecting slic into bios at boot; and,

    2. It doesn't work on UEFI boards - which is what the original question was.

    Funny enough the loader works on a Mac using bootcamp because Apple boot native windows in MBR mode.

    It's true that the method existed before, but it's not just a GUI for something that already existed.

    Old loaders would inject into the EBDA all of the time and didn't work well with all ACPI specifications. It failed for a lot of people, so we created a new loader that understands multiple memory types, invalid SLIC's, overlaps and can work with read only memory. The actual GUI creates a version of the loader that's designed for your system, so it may give you a matching OEM brand, but it'll also run a few tests to try to determine the best settings for your hardware so that SLIC injection will actually work. The old loader couldn't do any of this because it was a single GRUB file that couldn't be changed in any way, so it either would of worked or it would of failed and you wouldn't of been able to do anything about it.

    The unreleased version of the loader application does support UEFI, but UEFI support isn't exactly stable. If a system isn't compatible then you need to remove the hard drive and format it from another PC, which of course isn't ideal and may render some people soft bricked if they were to ignore the warnings and didn't have another PC that they could format from.
