One point you didn't mention: At least some HP models have brain-dead firmware that refuses to boot anything but the Microsoft boot loader (EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi on the EFI System Partition, or ESP). It's likely to be much simpler to do the installation in EFI mode to begin with. The installation may well succeed, but then you'll need to jump through some extra hoops to get dual-booting to work smoothly. I agree completely installing Linux in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode when Windows is installed in EFI/UEFI mode will just create complications. Last edited by PabloTwo 7th October 2013 at 04:38 PM. Here is a guide that gave me a leg up on how it's done and which I followed with success. That may hold true for some brands of laptops, but not for HP's laptops.

The internet if full of guides of how to dual-boot W8 and Linux, but a lot of what you will see and read give a bunch of bogus information, such as you must disable secure boot first. There are zillions of online guides on how to do that. You will also need to turn off hibernate in W8, which is done as administrator from a "cmd" prompt:ĭisabling fast boot is done from within a W8 configuration menu. I disabled fast-boot after F18 was installed. But you will eventually want to disable fast-boot anyway, for the reason that if you want write access to any of your W8 partitions from Fedora, you won't have it with fast-boot enabled.

You can install Fedora with W8's fast-boot/hibernate still enabled, I did.

Either that, or put the bootable Fedora iso on a USB stick and boot from that in the same manner described above. Just select the DVD device from the list. You can probably boot from the DVD drive just by holding down the F9 key (or ESC key then F9 entry) during boot to bring up the HP UEFI boot device selection. I know it's made more difficult when W8 is totally new to you and you haven't yet figured out how to navigate it yet, but once you learn, it's no more difficult than any other OS. The HP laptops seem to be one of the easier machines to install Linux on, you just need to do your homework first and research how it's done. Fedora is installed in UEFI mode, with Secure Boot enabled. I have a newer HP Envy dv7 laptop and I dual-boot W8/F18. If you disable UEFI mode, you won't be able to boot W8 without switching back to UEFI mode in the firmware. W8 is installed EFI mode so you want to install Fedora in EFI mode also. As a matter of fact, you want to do just the opposite. Hey, he's just a salesman and that statement is just a bunch of baloney. On my new HP Pavilion Touchsmart PC-15, the sales guy told me that I'd probably have to disable UEFI before I could install Linux. Last edited by tashirosgt 7th October 2013 at 08:07 AM.
However, since this is the first touchscreen machine I've owned I think it does appear "cute". I can see why old time Windows users don't like Windows 8. Maybe you aren't ever supposed to do that? In Windows 8, I don't even see an option to shut the machine down. But now I have no idea how to set the boot device in Control Panel. (I have "HP Apps" instead of plain "Apps".)Įdit: If I right cick near the top of the "Start" screen, I get an icon at the bottom that says "show all apps" and if I click on that then I can find Control Panel among the apps.

So I'm faced with task of doing this in Windows 8 and apparently this machine runs some sort of HP customized version of Window 8 since the directions I find on the web for getting to Control Panel in Windows 8 don't apply.
I’ll discuss the issue in later steps.Anyone know how to set a HP Pavilion running Windows 8 to boot from the DVD drive, so I can install Fedora? Some systems don’t let you change the secure boot option without setting an admin password. All you have to do is to access the UEFI firmware settings, go to the Boot option and disbale it.ĭon’t worry. The good thing is that you can easily disable the secure boot. Sometimes, it may also create problems in dual booting with Linux. The downside of secure boot is that if you want to boot from a Linux USB or if you want to use a bootable Windows USB, it won’t allow that. This security feature prevents rootkit malware and provides an additional layer of security. With UEFI comes the feature of “secure boot” which boots only those bootloaders that are signed in to UEFI firmware.

Some Mac devices have been using UEFI for a longer time. UEFI is not something that Microsoft invented, instead it is a protocol existing even before Windows 8. These days, if you buy a computer pre-installed with Windows, it comes with UEFI boot system.
