Support for EFI GPT systems?
-
I am also having this problem when trying to image our Lenovo T520’s. The error code I get is 0xc000000e and the info is “Boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.”
Please help
Thanks

I was able to get my laptop to boot after changing a few setting in the BIOS. I change the sata controller to compatibility mode and I set the UEFI settings on the startup page to boot to legacy device first. You should not have to re-image the computer but you may have to use the windows 7 disc to repair the installation.

I hope this helps.

Turning UEFI boot off for me will still generate errors. I get the “vbe_init failed” using the normal kernel and an NFS error using KS and others. However when I used kernel args with the normal kernel I can get it to upload but it fails with tons of buffer IO errors. sigh I’ve been fighting this for hours

Hopefully you’ve re-installed windows. The default HP install does come with an extra partition that will mess up the process.

I am having issues with the same machine (z210). Unfortunately I see NO place to set any UEFI options (short of taking them out of the boot order) and the Sata options are either RAID+SATA or IDE. I set it to IDE and took the UEFI options out of the boot menu, but Win7 still tried to create the 3 partitions.

I got mine working with turning off UEFI in the boot order, and having it set to RAID+SATA. Just install win7 like normal. When you go to upload you will get some errors and it will pause for a minute but it will upload and deploy.

OK, thanks. Which kernel did you use? 3.2.4?

The most recent one yes. -
Thanks!
FYI, if you build a 2.6.X (in my case, I did 2.6.39.4) and add the networking support for the e1000e card, it will run faster than the 3.2.4 kernel.
I am looking forward to reinstalling windows 7 with your tip. I will keep the forum updated. Thanks!

Brent,
When you went to install windows after disabling the UEFI boot options, did Windows 7 come up with 2 or 3 partitions?
-
Nevermind. I had disabled UEFI options as a whole by pressing F5 on the root menu. I had to disable each device individually with F5 (and then the root menu for good measure).

It finally works. After completing the steps above, it took booting into a Linux LiveCD (sysrescCD to be exact) and changing the partition table to msdos from GPT with parted. After that, Windows installed and imaged beautifully. Thanks!
