[PLAIN][boot Manager][sOLVED] Fixing UEFI Boot Issues: Black Screen After BIOS POST. Booting Only Possible From BIOS F12 Boot Menu[/PLAIN]

 

Hello,

 

I am having problems with direct booting into Windows 8 installed into a VHDX file.

 

This is a four-partition UEFI boot on a GPT drive. EFI files are residing on a second partition of disk 0 (the ESP partition) in the EFI folder. The boot virtual disk is residing on the fourth partition of that disk 0.

 

When I turn on the PC, it shows black screen after the BIOS POST screen. No Windows 8 boot menu, no other information is displayed. However, if I press Shift+F12 (or F12) to start Dell BIOS Boot Menu and choose Windows Boot Manager from the UEFI part of

the boot menu, Windows 8 starts to boot without difficulties.

 

How do I make Windows to boot automatically without having to select Windows Boot Manager in DELL BIOS boot menu?

 

I believe I messed up with boot sector somehow... What needs to be fixed provided that Windows 8 will boot into VHDX file?

 

Thank you.

 


Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...
