beherebeme 0 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi, I have recently put together a new PC and initialized all drives (SSD and HDD) as UEFI drives. After installing Eset Smart Security I created a rescue disk. After burning the disk I checked to see if it would work. Inserted the CD into the drive, rebooted, entered the BIOS and chose the "UEFI Pioneer BD-RW" boot override option and nothing happened. Repeated the process by now chose the non UEFI option ("Pioneer BD-RW) and successfully booted the rescue disk. I'm no expert, but I would have thought that the rescue disk creation step would have created an UEFI CD, given that the system is UEFI configured (all other rescue media thus far created - Reflect and Windows - generated UEFI CDs). Any thoughts about the rescue disk not being prepared properly (ie, not a UEFI CD)? Next, the disk booted and recognized my drives (all 3), so I tried a scan on a UEFI HDD (a pure data disk with little data at this time) and it all appeared to go well. So my question here is: if I scan the "boot sector" will I end up with a corrupted disk with Eset not recognizing that the drive is an UEFI drive? I suppose I'm a little bit concerned that the rescue CD wasn't a UEFI CD when, as I've said, all other rescue disks are UEFI. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) No the rescue disk isn't a UEFI disk.But this shouldn't matter anyway - except of the boot option you have to choose of course.BTW: BD is Blue-ray, isn't it?AFAIK the boot drive scan should also work with without any issues.If it booted correctly then it should not matter whether you have a BIOS or a UEFI.And just FYI there is even a new version of ESET SysRescue available (called "ESET SysRescue Live") based on Linux...hxxp://www.eset.com/int/support/sysrescue/ More information here: ESET SysRescue Live 1.0.9.0 released But I think this creates also a "normal" disc and not a UEFI-boot disk.And again BTW: Would you like to get some CD/DVD-covers for your CD/DVD? Here you can get them: Picture gallery of ESET robot/android - CD/DVD Cover for ESET SysRescue (Live) - ESET Wallpaper Edited January 19, 2015 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
