Hello,

My boot menu looks like this:

UEFI P4: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSD0 (Highlighted)
P2: Toshiba DT01 ACA1000 (953969MB)
P3: Toshiba DT01 - ditto -
Samsung Flash Drive (122368 MB)
Generic Storage Device
Generic Storage Device

P4 must be the DVD writer; P2 & P3 the two HDDs; a flash drive and I know not what the storage
devices are.

Put bootable disc in DVD writer and restart: " Starting Windows .... " The first entry in the boot
menu is ignored.

How do I get this newfangled 'UEFI' to boot from a CD ?

It's an ASUS A68HM.

Regards,

Cheemag

There needs to be an EFI loader on the disc otherwise put UEFI (bios) into hybrid mode to allow both.

EFI loader. Easier said than done.

Do any of these have that: Ulitmate Boot CD, Easeus Boot CD, Hiram's Boot CD, Win-7 Boot Repair Disc, Aeomi Boot Disc ?
