Image for windows suggested settings

moontan,

I just realized that link doesn't apply to a UEFI system. Did you install Windows in UEFI mode? I didn't because I wanted to use BIBM for multi-booting. Hopefully BIBM will be UEFI compatible "soon".

 

rinem,

Not really. If your UEFI BIOS has legacy USB support (most should have) you can still use IFL, IFD and other bootable UFDs. IFL has 64 bit UEFI support too.

 

my mobo has a UEFI bios, and it's updated to the latest version. (ASUS P8B75-M LE)
i searched everywhere in the BIOS but there are no settings for UEFI that i can see.
so i'm assuming it's on by default and untweakable.

 

Have a look in Disk Management. Do you have an EFI System Partition?

 

no, it doesn't look like it.

 

Good. I have an Asus UEFI motherboard too and I installed Win8 in MBR mode as you have done. It suits me better as I can use BIBM.

In the BIOS I disabled Secure Boot and something else I can't remember at present.

 

the technician asked me what OS i wanted to use and i told him Win 8 and Linux.

so maybe he already tweaked the BIOS for me and i'm just too blind to find that option there.
the BIOS looks like the dashboard of an alien spacecraft so maybe that's why i'm lost.

anyway, no UEFI suits me just fine.

 

I looked at my BIOS

Advanced
Boot
Secure Boot
OS Type - Other OS


Advanced
Boot
CSM Compatibility Support Module
Each Boot choice (4 choices) - Legacy OpROM only

 

tnx Brian! i went looking and finally found it, thanks to you.

 

J just tried the TBWinRE Boot disk and it works perfect with win8 64bit, asus uefi boot.

 

Nice work. TBWinPE is an amazing boot disk. It has so many tools.

 

Among TBWinPE/TBWinRE/Win7RescuePE/IFL/IFD boot disks,which one is the fastest and easiest(user interface)to use?

What is the difference between TBWinPE and TBWinRE boot disks?

Also which boot disk provides many tools and what are they?

 

in my experience, IFL has been 2 to 3 times faster in creating and restoring images compared to IFD.

it's really worth trying all of those to see what speed you can get on your machine.
if you image and restore as often as i do then speed becomes very important.

 

I made a typo in Message #36. I meant TBWinRE.

TBWinRE and IFL run at the same speed in this computer. IFD is about a third slower. For someone new to the TeraByte apps I'd suggest TBWinRE for restores as they would already be familiar with IFW. But IFL/IFD are easy to use too.

Try the lot and choose your favourite.

 

Image for Windows' & Image for Linux's default settings work fine on my windows 7 x64 w/ SATA2 drive. However, I recently switched to an lvm format (Centos 6.4 w/SATA2 drive) on my linux box and IFL does not seem to like it. IFL used to work fine for the Debian-based stuff that I used to use, but not with Centos. Sure, it will back up Centos but it requires several hours. I had to switch to Clonezilla for Centos.

 

Does this help?

Thanks, BrianK! I'm studying it now.
