  • 1.  Need Help Creating\Deploying Windows 8.1 UEFI Image

    Posted Nov 05, 2015 01:51 PM

    Hey there,

    I'm looking for some help creating a Windows 8.1 UEFI Image, here's what i've done so far.

    I'm using HYPER-V with Generation 2 VM with Secure Boot Disabled (I believe you cant use secure boot)

    - I create in Hyper-V My Windows 8.1 Images all updates and things i need.

    - Then I install the altiris agent, and run a Capture Job from the console - (First it runs the prepare, then Capture "Image type:Disk Image") 

    - After the VM runs the prepare, the system reboots, boots up using PXE and does the capture

    - Now on Dell 7450 Physical with UEFI enabled and Secure Boot disabled. I press F12 for the boot menu where i see listed Legacy Boot and I choose on board Nic,

    - Now when i boots to the task list I select the Job I created "Windows 8.1 UEFI STD", computer begins to apply/complete the image deployment.

    - Once the image is applied on the Boot to Production sequence begins (reboots the machine) I get "No bootable Devices Found"

    - I then reboot and press F12 for my boot options and i'm presented with "Legacy Boot" and If i choose Internal HDD , it boots into the OS (i do think the first time it blue screened)

    I'm obviously doing something wrong, can anyone provide a way for me to get this working? and point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance

    PS. When i check Disk Management I see 4 partitions =  300mb, 99mb System Reserved NTFS Primary, 128mb Primary, C: NTFS)

    After Enabling UEFI Network Stack in the BIOS I was able to successfully Deploy the Image
