Hi, Sylar^ if you reinstalled the windows in non-UEFI mode, then the UEFI injector is not affecting your boot, so it will be most likely a bad hardware or a driver issue. If you want to completely remove the UEFI injector, you can try to delete the UEFI Partition using Windows Disk Management or another partitioning program. This will, however, not cure your freezes, as you are not using the UEFI at all.
facePalmer, could you please contribute your code, or some patches, to nononsence's main trunk? What you've done is a major improvement and would be very welcome by many users! BIOS marker tools wouldn't be needed, for example. And it would eliminate the risk of messing with the firmware.
Oh i see, thanks! I got the freeze when i swapped to my friend's graphic card (also an old HD4850 amd like mine) and then froze a few times again when i swap back to mine. So i can't tell if it's gpu driver problem or hardware. I ran memtest86 overnight and it passed 10 times without errors (even tho this isn't fool proof) so i think ram is fairly fine. Could be hdd/ssd problem but im not sure how to verify (my old setup with same hdd/ssd before new rig was fine) EDIT: I can't find any sign of WindSLIC in disc management, just 3 disks and all of them are 1 partition individually Could it be that WindSLIC is in my bios? I can see it as a bootable option, im not sure what that means
My only guess is then, that your BIOS has the possibility to edit the boot options manually, so you can experiment with them Try looking in the BIOS. [Sorry for off topic, this should go into HW/SW support] Can your freezes be related to the GPU if memtest is OK? Try uninstalling and reinstalling the AMD Catalyst drivers or download a newer version of them and also try reinstalling the intel INF driver if you have an Intel motherboard. You can also verify if the GPU itself sits tight in its motherboard slot as it may not have a good contact (try pushing it).
Hi, I'm trying to activate W7 enterprise on an Intel DG45ID MB according to the instructions on the first page. Probably I'm doing some mistake in the procedure because when I run acer.exe I get an "unsupported product" message, and I believed that acer certificate could be used also on non-acer system (as from #263 post by nononsense). Thank you very much for any help.
facePalmer, thank you very much for your contribution - it appears to be the only way to activate my setup (no SLIC mod possible, Daz's loader not working on GPT partitions and no KMS possible)...
Hi facePalmer, I have also a Lenovo notebook (model G505s) and decided to go with Windows 7 and pre-installed/updated Windows 8.1 in dual-boot, so your method seemed to me the best to activate 7. I followed your useful and smart guide and I was pleased to not see the "unsupported partition table" message under Windows Loader (It has been pretty difficult to install 7 ultimate in UEFI mode to begin with). But (yes alas there is a "but"), although the "install" with Windows Loader went fine with the succesful message, the Windows 7 copy remains "Trial". The operation is a semi-success, as under SLIC ToolKit I see a good "green" SLIC entry, wich wasn't the case before applying your process. Thank you ! But the PKey&Cert entry remains red (Cert. error), and the countdown before activation continues. Strangely, I have the same under 8.1 : green validated SLIC diagnosis but red Cert. error below, while 8.1 is genuinely authentified and displayed as such in the config panel. Do you have an idea of something I could do to have 7 all "authentified" ? Edit : I managed to have the "licensed" status ! After having tried several options in the advanced options table of Windows Loader to no avail, simply checking the "Preserve the boot code" option made it work ! Thank you !
Have Alienware M14-R2 laptop w/stock win8 pro, UEFI Secure Boot Insyde H20 BIOS, .... Win 8 Fast boot, Intel i7 w/turbo boost and overclocking settings in BIOS. At one point I nuked the HDD with DBAN then reinstalled with WIN 7 ULT x64 (Thanks to Murphy78). Problem is upon reinstallation of the OS, UEFI booting no longer functions and I have had to use Legacy boot options since. I tried repair with paragon HDD Manager with no luck. Im no developer. Only a hobbyist bent on building a secure rig from boot to end to end encryption. Any assistance in pointing me towards getting my UEFI secure boot functioning again would be greatly appreciated. Thanks BC
