Instalando Windows em Parties GPT

GPT (Tabela de Partio Guid) um novo layout de particionamento de

disco rgido.
Ela nasceu para substituir a MBR que limita o uso do disco rgido em at
2Tb.
Utilizando a GPT no vamos ter mais problema com unidades superiores
a 2Tb, mas quem utiliza Windows da Microsoft, apenas os sistemas Vista,
Windows 7 e Windows 8 podem ler ou gravar neste tipo de partio.
Junto com a GPT veio a EFI que uma especificao que define uma
interface de software entre o sistema operacional e a plataforma de
firmware.
A EFI destina-se a ser um substituto significativamente melhorado para o velho BIOS firmware
interface, historicamente usado por todos os computadores pessoais IBM PC compatveis.
A especificao EFI foi originalmente desenvolvida pela Intel, e atualmente gerida pelo Unified
EFI Frum que oficialmente conhecido como Unified EFI (UEFI).
Tive um problema ao instalar o Windows7 em um Asus K45A, uma mensagem de erro era exibida:
"O Windows no pode ser instalado neste disco. O disco selecionado est no estilo da partio
GPT."
Pesquisando pela internet encontrei em um frum uma soluo que tive xito para poder instalar o
Windows no meu notebook, segui os passos abaixo:
1. Depois de dar boot via Windows7, na tela de idiomas pressione <Shift> + <F10> para abrir o
terminal (console)
Digite os seguintes comandos na linha de comando:
CUIDADO, OS COMANDOS ABAIXO APAGARO TODAS AS PARTIES DO HD
diskpart <enter> (Este comando permite acessar ao utilitrio para gerir parties)
list disk <enter> (Mostra todos os discos. Verifica se o disco 0 corresponde ao disco que compraste
(basta verificares o tamanho)
select disk 0 <enter> (Vai escolher o disco 0 para efetuar operaes sobre ele. Se o disco novo no
for o 0, ento voc deve alterar o nmero no comando para, por exemplo, select disk 1 )
clean <enter> (Este comando vai eliminar as informaes de configurao existentes no disco, ou
seja, todos os dados e TODAS as parties sero EXCLUDAS! )

create partition primary <enter> (Este comando vai criar uma partio primria (no disco que
selecionou no passo select disk x)
exit <enter> (para abandonar o utilitrio diskpart )
exit <enter> (para regressar ao programa de instalao)
3 - Agora na tela de seleo de partio, escolhe aquela que acabou de criar. Se continuar a dar erro,
reinicia o computador e verifica se o erro desapareceu (de vez em quando necessrio um reboot
para que as alteraes fiquem visveis ao setup do Windows);
4 - Antes de instalar o Windows, formate o disco.

How to repair the EFI Bootloader in Windows 8

The fix
Start up your dilapidated computer with the USB or DVD Windows 8 recovery media in the
system. You want to get to the Advanced options screen so you can open the beloved
command prompt.
When the computer boots off the recovery media, pick the Troubleshoot option

Then choose Advanced Options

and head on over to the Command Prompt.

The computer should reboot and then ask you for the account. Click your account to
continue.

Then login to get started

Were going to use the built in partitioning tool called diskpart to confirm that:
1.

We have all the right partitions

2.

EFI partition is formatted correctly.

In the black screen that looks like a dark abyss, type:

diskpart

and enter this command:

sel disk 0

Now that the first disk is selected we need to view all the partitions

list vol

Verify that the EFI partition is using the FAT32 file system then select the volume and assign
a drive letter to it.
Since im using Windows 8 from a VirtualBox image you wont see the FAT32 partition on
the screenshot above; but on yours you can select it by noting the Volume Number.

1. Assign the Drive Letter

Lets say your EFI partition is on Volume 3, the next thing you would type is:

sel vol 3

Then assign an arbitrary drive letter to the parition. Lets use v.

assign letter=v:

You should see a message saying: DiskPart successfully assigned the drive letter or
mount point.

Exit the diskpart tool by typing:

exit

You should still be in the command prompt but outside of the DISKPART> prompt.

2. Repair the Boot Record

We need to repair the boot record. We can pull that off like so:

cd /d v:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
bootrec /fixboot

The CD command tells the command line interpreter to change the directory to the volume
label that has the EFI boot record.
Then the bootrec /fixboot command attempts to repair the selected volume.
Alright, still with me?

3. Rebuild the BCD store

Now we need to recreate the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store, so lets backup the
existing store first
Type:

ren BCD BCD.old

Now that we backed it up, lets recreate the BCD store:

bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-us /s v: /f ALL

BCDBoot is little tool that lets you manage the system partition files. In plain english, this
command says:

Hey Windows, Im going to use C:\Windows as the source for copying all
my boot-environment files and Im going to use the English locale and select
the volume letter that begins with v:

The /f ALL thingy updates all the BIOS settings.

Now remove the recovery media and reboot and you should be all set.

Installed/Updated Windows 8 UEFI after Ubuntu - Restore GRUB

Using Boot Repair, as MariusMatutiae suggests, may work; however, that program sometimes does
more than is wise, so I prefer to avoid it. There are at least three less radical solutions:
Solution 1: Use the Firmware
Many EFIs provide a built-in boot manager that enables you to adjust the boot order. Your Ubuntu/GRUB
entry probably still exists, so all you need to do is to adjust the boot order using the firmware. The trouble
with this approach is that the EFI setup utilities vary so much that it's impossible to provide universallyapplicable instructions for how to do this. If your firmware supports this feature, though, it's likely to be
the simplest way to do it -- once you figure out how to get to the option!
Solution 2: Use bcdedit in Windows
The Windows bcdedit tool can add a non-Windows boot loader to the boot list. The trick is figuring out
what the file is. You can do it this way:
1.
2.
3.
4.

5.

6.

Boot to Windows
Open an Administrator Command Prompt window. (Don't use a third-party shell for this, either;
I've seen reports that bcdedit won't work correctly with some of them.)
Type mountvol S: /S to mount the ESP as S:. (You can change S: to something else if you like.)
Using the Command Prompt, check S: to locate your Ubuntu boot loader. It's probably
either S:\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi or S:\ubuntu\shimx64.efi. If you see the latter, it should be
safe to use it, and it may be necessary to use it -- shim is how Ubuntu deals with Secure Boot (SB),
but on a non-SB computer, it will have little effect. If Secure Boot is inactive, then shim may or may
not be installed, so you may need to refer to grubx64.efi directly.
Type bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi,
changing shimx64.efi to grubx64.efi if shimx64.efi isn't present. Change the path if it's
something else, which is unlikely.
Optionally, type bcdedit /set {bootmgr} description "Ubuntu" to set the name that appears
in the EFI's own boot manager list. Change Ubuntu to whatever you like.

If you already know the filename for your boot loader, you can skip steps #3 and #4. (The ESP doesn't
need to be mounted to use bcdedit in this way.)
This method has the advantage that it keeps Windows from messing with the boot order -- sometimes
Windows will try to adjust the boot order unbidden. I don't know if this would prevent a repeat of this
problem if/when you upgrade to whatever comes after Windows 8.1, though.
Solution 3: Boot to Linux and Use efibootmgr

You can probably boot to Linux by using the firmware's own boot manager, which you can access on
most computers by hitting Esc or a function key at boot time, although which key varies from one
computer to another. Alternatively, you may be able to use rEFInd on a USB flash drive or CD-R as a
boot manager if yours is inadequate. You can also boot using a Linux live CD or emergency disk, but be
sure you boot in EFI mode -- a BIOS-mode boot won't be adequate. Once you're in Linux, you can
use efibootmgr to adjust the boot order:
1.
2.

Open a Terminal window.

Type sudo efibootmgr -v to obtain a list of boot programs. One will be for Linux, and will launch
either shim or GRUB. Note the BootOrder list. Chances are the Windows entry is now first, and the
Ubuntu entry comes later in the list. Some entries may be confusing. Just ignore them; focus on
finding the Ubuntu entry and identifying its number (in the Boot#### entry at the start of the line).
3.
Type sudo efibootmgr -o {list}, changing {list} to a comma-separated list of boot numbers,
as in sudo efibootmgr -o 5,0 if Boot0005 is for Ubuntu and Boot0000 is for Windows. You can
add more entries if you like, but the first one is the most important, since that's what will be booted
first.
If an Ubuntu entry does not exist, you can create one with efibootmgr, as in:
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -l '\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi' -L "Ubuntu"
Change -d /dev/sda to point to your whole-disk device and -c 1 to specify the partition number. (In
fact, /dev/sda and 1 are the defaults, so you really need these only if your ESP is not /dev/sda1.)
