Windows Boot Manager Only Bios Option?
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2021 10:40 am
Hello all,
Trying to boot to the UBCD to use wdidle3 on a usb ide hdd.
But my bios only has the option to boot to Windows Boot Manager. This is not how it used to be, and some cursory searches do not indicate how to boot to a dvd drive with this. I did reinstall windows recently, so that is probably when this changed. It had been a huge pain every time I reinstalled windows 10 for years now, I reformat a drive and it says it is not compatible and will not install, even tho it was literally installed in the partition 5 seconds ago. I think I remember having to mess with the bios last time to get it to boot and something about uefi. So I am thinking that I probably used to upgrade from windows 7, and that used some legacy boot stuff, and this was the first time I installed windows 10 directly and that is why the booting works differentially. But I should still be able to boot from a DVD drive.
Please advise.
