    Wow Brother, you saved my day. I bought an Acer Intel PC and this UEFI interface appeared and I hardly found anything on the Internet to start booting from USB to install windows. I am really grateful. Thank you very much! I followed your explanations and it worked perfectly. 😊

    Dude thank you so much. I was trying to complete stuff for work and when I came back to my laptop I saw this screen and I got so scared I lost everything.
    This was perfect!

    I'm glad your video is Closed Captioned as you speak at such a blue streak pace it is hard to keep up with you. (I am getting older and need a bit more time for the words and concepts to filter in.. lol)

    This was great, thanks!
    Another useful trick is to add "page=#" to the end of your command, it will add pagination. The # you enter will be the number of lines you want per page. Sometimes you end up with really long output and the buffer isn't big enough to display it all, this will allow you to page through the info (like the "more" and "less" Linux commands)

    Guys don't waste time.this is very helpful by I couldn't find the EFI file in my folders FS0 or 1 or 2 so I turn off the laptop and open BIOS . IN The FAR RIGHT under Safe changes has an option EFI BOOT. I DISABLE EFI SHELL and Worked. Try it if you couldnt solve it after this so helpful video.

      Sorry if too late you need to shutdown computer start up but after pressing the starting button press del or esc or f12 or f10 or f11 (depends) and you will be in bios or uefi

    Nice video. I liked your comment about finding no one in searches who rally knew about EFI Shell configuration. My exact frustration until I found your video. I was stumped on how to upgrade some LSI IT mode cards. Thanks again for all your work.

  • @ScottHarvey-x7d
    @ScottHarvey-x7d Год назад +2

    This was an honest presentation of this subject, funny too. I wanted to lean more about the EFI shell, for example, in linux my root drive has a different partuuid in the EFI shell, than the same root drive has after the system has fully booted up. For boot I need to find out the partuuid is in EFI. Thank you for your EFI video.

    So far this has been the most useful video I've found, but i don't see any executables. I'm trying to get past the EFI menu, windows won't boot up so this is as far i can get. The MSI BIOS menu doesn't seem to have anything useful for my situation.
    Been messing about on and off for two years with this thing, my only achievement is getting rid of a black startup screen, so i do got access to the BIOS and the EFI menu, i just don't know what to do from here.

    • @EXITZER0
      @EXITZER0  2 года назад +1

      if there is no EFI executables, it's either you don't have a bootloader (accidentally removed) or it's a legacy OS install (MBR).
      The easiest solution would be to move your important data out and do a fresh OS install.

  • @viperchrisz4
    @viperchrisz4 Год назад

    OMG thank you so much, I needed to downgrade a BIOS from a B350m MSI and they provide nothing but a message telling you you can't. IDK why MSI doesn't provide this information so you can recover your mobo instead of losing $$ on working hardware
