A quote from an old show, The A-Team.

Hi, Thanks to everyone who helped me! I solved the problem and now I want to share my mistakes: @JerryF wrote: For some reason, your USB is still booting in Legacy Mode instead of UEFI Mode because the setup of your disk is not EFI. you are right: and this is the first error.... https://imgur.com/MQ...

For some reason, your USB is still booting in Legacy Mode instead of UEFI Mode because the setup of your disk is not EFI. Is there a key that you can use to select boot options right after turning on your computer? For example, mine is the F9 key. You have a Dell, so it's either F12, F2, or Del. Se...

Hi,

when I restart the system, I see the USB in the Legacy menu, not in uefi menu...

is this the possible reason why i can't install the system in efi mode?

don-t works.......

How can I fix it? Please now I-m only in Live mode......


EDIT
It-s the Live USB? I simply use the USB Image Driver provided with LM for create the Live USB from the LM iso

Hi,

Hi, thanks for your support! That's why the "Erase disk..." is not setting up an EFI partition. In the image below you se what is my BIOS boot setup: UEFI mode,,,,, https://i.imgur.com/KneVpEX.png The flag on fat32 is boot,esp (you see that in this link: https://imgur.com/VkjvYpE ) Now I try to rein...

Let's back up for a minute. In the inxi report, it shows that RAID is being used. This may be interfering with the installation. I've come across some posts where that was an issue. Also, from the live USB, could you post the results of these commands from Terminal: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo...

In this moment I tried again,
but, when I select Fat32 for 256mb partition, the "uefi" option is not showed... only /windows or /dos options are showed:

I don't understand why....

did I do something wrong? Yes. You didn't take note of what Pierre told you, and you carried on about partitioning as if he had written nothing. Just let the installer do it by selecting the default option. You don't need to prepare the disk. HI, thanks.... I have installed LM 5 times with the "era...

Hi, thanks for reply.... the GParted is one example. The tool provided by LM is another example. both are used to prepare the partitions for install LM right? My question is why, when I install LM with the "erase the disk" option enabled, this doesn't prepare automatically the new HDD with the parti...

oh,

thanks for reply.... when I start with a live USB, I need to install Brave browser every time (Brave browser is better than firefox: this is only my personal opinion).... and kolourpaint is better than the last image editor installed by default with LM....


But, thanks anyway

Hi, I would like to understand why when I install LM choosing the "erase entire disk" option, this option does not prepare the disk in such a way that you don't have to prepare the partitions with GParted first (the boring uefi problems...). is there a way to create with the LM installation a new HD...
