error message in installation "Force UEFI Installation?" linux mint 18 sarah

Post by ihabhamed »

linux mint 18 sarah
cinnamon
hp 350 g1
core i5 ram 6G

I used manual partitioning:
EFI partition 1gb primary beginning,
/ 50gb primary beginning,
swap 12gb primary beginning,
/home 200gb primary beginning.

I only have a new empty Hard Disk 750, there in no dual boot

error message

Code: Select all

"This machine's firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it looks like there may be existing operating systems already installed using "BIOS compatibility mode". If you continue to install Debian in UEFI mode, it might be difficult to reboot the machine into any BIOS-mode operating systems later.

If you wish to install in UEFI mode and don't care about keeping the ability to boot one of the existing systems, you have the option to force that here. If you wish to keep the option to boot an existing operating system, you should choose NOT to force UEFI installation here.")

There is no reason to use UEFI except if you want to boot Windows or if you want to boot from a partition more than 2 TiB is size. And you can always find a solution for the latter.

UEFI brings a heck of a lot of disadvantages with it and no advantages. Don't use it.
