How does the EFI motherboard and GPT partition table install the system?

Now the hard drive is getting bigger, and the original MBR partition, more than 2T hard drive will not be recognized, only use GPT way, but GPT if the original BIOS is unable to boot system, but if your motherboard support EFI, then you can use the Gpt+efi way, Support 3T large hard drive installation system.

Important, installation system may cause your computer lost all files, you must first copy the files on the hard drive to other mobile hard disk, U disk and other places backup!

Required Tools:

1, 64-bit Win7 system (EFI does not support 32-bit systems, try to use the original system, many modifications to the system to remove EFI support, and do not ghost version), download the address: http://diybbs.zol.com.cn/2/308_12377.html

2, EFI startup file: Efi SHELL (x64). RAR (Size 1MB)

3, U disk one (not less than 4G)

4, supporting the EFI motherboard

The advantages of GPT versus MBR are:

1, support more than 2T of hard disk

2, can be divided into more than 4 primary partitions

3. Higher security

Tutorial Start:

1, the right to download the Win7 system, select WinRAR, the system will be extracted to the U disk, do not have folders, directly to the ISO file in the root directory, and then tools 2 of the EFI boot file download decompression, 1 folders and 2 files are also copied to the root directory, the following figure:

2, press the power button on the boot, and then mad Press ESC into the BIOS, the following figure (this is ASUS into the BIOS method, other machine methods are different), switch to the boot tag, the launch CSM to disabled, this option may also be called legacy or EFI, different motherboards, As a different name, this option is to change the traditional bios of legacy to EFI BIOS

3, select Save Change, then insert U disk, run the bottom of the launch EFI Shell from filesystem device

4, will pop up the following diagram of the interface, above the device mapping table below is your disk, find a USB disk, the general will be labeled removeable and other words, the following figure, my u disk because there are two partitions, so for Fs0 and FS1, enter the following command:

Command description

FS0: Select Fs0 partition

LS lists the files within the partition

5, the above input ls command, will list the current section of the file, the following figure, you can see a list of the files in the U disk just now, if this partition is not your U disk, you can change FS1,BLK1,BLK2, etc., know to find your USB drive, find your U disk, enter the following command back:

Command description

Bootmgfw.efi run Bootmgfw.efi file, this file is the EFI boot file of the system

6, After the Bootmgfw.efi command is entered, you can see the familiar system installation interface, if you are a GPT hard drive partition, you can install the system directly, but most of the hard disk is also MBR partition, so when you select the partition, ready to install the system, you may encounter the following prompts, then your hard disk is the MBR partition, Need to continue to toss:

7, hold down the SHIFT key, and then press F10, open the command prompt cmd, enter the following command, note that this step will empty the hard drive, the hard things are not:

Command description

DiskPart run DiskPart partition management tool

List disk lists all hard drives

Select Disk 0 Refer to the hard drive size of the previous step and choose your hard drive

Clean clear the hard drive

Convert GPT turns the hard drive into GPT

8, the hard disk for GPT, it is necessary to create partitions, enter the following command:

Command description

Create partition EFI size=200 creates an EFI partition with a size of 200M

Create partition msr size=200 Creating an MSR partition of size 200M

Create partition primary size=30000 30000 size is about 30G, this is the partition of the system

The third command above can be modified, this section you can understand as a C disk, loading system disk, such as you want to 50G, the order = after the change to 50000

9, here we have only created a partition C disk, the rest of the partition you can also refer to the last command of step 9 above to create the partition, but the way to enter the partition size, because the remaining hard drive is not good estimate, so may cause some hard drive surplus, causing waste, I suggest that the system can be installed after the partition tool, or right-click the computer--management--disk management to create, compared with the DiskPart command form relatively simple

10, turn off the command line above, the following section does not change? Don't worry, just click the refresh of the figure below

11, the partition is now divided, you can select the primary partition, and then click Next to install the system
