Partition Question - First UEFI system

WhyMe said:

Lol Thanks :) I think you need to go and find yourself a 'naughty step' to sit upon!

On my desktop PC it's System Reserved (hidden) > OS C: > then Recovery (Hidden). I knew with UEFI It's called Recovery instead of System Reserved, and UEFI instead of Recovery, just mixed up where they physically are.

The 5 Rum and Cokes I had, had nothing to do with it honest. I'm not a think as you drunk I am.

typical caper, drinking on a Thursday night ,,getting primed up for Friday night ,lol

I've had a brutal week plus with pain. Not getting much sleep etc, and stressing me out. Haven't been posting as much as I normally would either as the pain meds screw up my concentration. Thus the error I made in this thread. Tonight I'm switching tactics, I ditched the pain meds for a little bit of Captain Morgan. I actually feel a lot better and will likely get a good sleep tonight, for a change. How I fell in the morning is likely debatable. Oh well. :)

My wife's Acer is extremely fussy about how the thumb drive is created for a UEFI install. It has to be formatted in the FAT file system or it will not boot from it. I used option two here, diskpart. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...e-windows.html Doing it that way it's good for UEFI and Legacy installs. My two desktop PC's are legacy BIOS. My ASUS laptop on the other hand, will let you install in UEFI mode with an NTFS formatted thumb drive. I use Fat anyway though. That same procedure works for Windows 10 too, you just use a Windows 10 ISO instead of an 8.1 ISO. Good install media is half the battle, IMHO.
