Use EFI-guided U disk to install Win7 graphics and text

Prerequisites for this tutorial:

First, motherboard BIOS support EFI.

Generally, the BIOS that supports EFI has an option similar to the EFI boot, which can be turned on.

Second, the original 64-bit Win7 mirror image.

Most of the modified version of the Win7 Mirror, there is no EFI boot function, the need for the original image.

Ps:windows 7 32 bits are not supported for EFI booting.

Chapter I preparatory work

First, the production of installation zoning

1, first in the mobile hard disk (U disk) to prepare a FAT32 partition

Be sure to FAT32 partitions because the EFI BIOS only recognizes FAT32 partitions

Free space-recommended 5G, minimum requirements, can put down Win7 image extracted from all the files

The primary partition is also a row, and logical partitions are also done without the need for a boot function. For ease of narration, the partition is called a install partition.

2, copy all the files in the Win7 x64 mirror to the Install partition root directory

3. Extract the EFI SHELL (x64). zip to the Install partition root directory,

Ps:efi SHELL (x64). zip already contains DiskPart tools

4, copy the Bootmgfw.efi to the install partition root directory

Chapter II Installation of Win7 64-bit system

Start from EFI to EFI shell

1. Press F2 to enter the BIOS setup, in the last entry exit option launch EFI shell from filesystem device.

2. After starting the EFI shell, as shown in figure:

When you start the EFI shell, you will be prompted

Fs0: .....................

FS1: .....................

FS number-refers to the FAT32 partition on the hard disk, similar to the C:,d: Disk character under Windows.

After the shell> cursor, enter FS0: Carriage return to enter the partition. Command LS can list the files in the current directory, if you see the win7 installation file, and if not, switch to another partition until you see the win7 installation file.

3, type the command Bootmgfw.efi, you can start the Win7 Setup program

Second, the installation system

Focus on the use of the DiskPart command to establish a GPT disk, as well as the way to create partitions, in order to describe the convenience, Win7 will be installed to the disk, called the target disk. This only describes how to use the DiskPart command to create a GPT disk and partition, and this method erases all data on the disk.

For lossless conversions, refer to other methods.

What you may encounter when you install the program to the Select partition:

When Windows Installer makes the steps to select a partition,

One, the target disk is a blank disk,

Select the target disk directly, and the installer will help you establish various sections of the EFI.

Second, the following figure may appear, because the destination disk is an MBR disk

To establish a GPT partition using the DiskPart tool:

1. Convert MBR disks to GPT disks

In the Select Partition interface, press SHIFT+F10 to pull up the command prompt

Type

DiskPart

Open the DiskPart tool

★ Select Target Disk

List disk--------------------lists the disks that the system has

Select Disk 0--------------Choose No. 0, depending on the size of your disk, determine your target disk

★ Empty the destination disk and convert to GPT format

Clean-------------------------Erase the disk, which erases all data on the disk

Convert GPT------------------converting disks to GPT format

List partition-----------------list the partitions on the disk because we have just converted to GPT format, so the partition is empty

★ Set up EFI partition and system installation partition

create partition EFI size=100---------------set up EFI partitions, size 100M, if you intend to use the partition to boot the MAC system, recommended size 200M above

create partition MSR size=128--------------set up the MSR partition, Microsoft defaults to build, the size is 128M

Create partition primary size=50000-------set up the primary partition, size 50000M, please adjust according to your needs, this partition is used to install Win7

List partition---------------------------------list the partitions on the disk

PS: In fact, a DiskPart tool can almost replace other third-party disk tools, such as the famous Diskgenius, is unable to change the GPT format disk partition ID, but DiskPart can.

PS: When you install the MAC system, you need to change the partition ID.

PS: For detailed use of DiskPart, you can type help view in DiskPart

2. Complete Installation

In the Windows Installer selection of the partition interface, click "Refresh", will be listed above the partition established, select the appropriate partition, complete the installation.

The above is the use of EFI to guide the installation of Win7 graphics and text tutorials, this tutorial is more complex, so the novice is advised to do this under the guidance of experienced friends, or carefully read this article, another EFI-led Win7 is not able to activate the software, can only brush the BIOS activation, It is therefore recommended that you use the BIOS-activated friend to install the Win7 using the above method.
