From worse to worst:

in a bid to be sure about the BIOS, I mean UEFI, and the settings, I did what i have done in BIOS on my PCs of the past 20 years occasionally to start from scratch: I send the settings all to factory default.

On PC/BIOS, this did just this.

On this damn UEFI thing, it has cleaned all harddrive devices form the booting list except one (before, it listed 4), and now boots right into UEFI every time I switch on the device. I can save and exit, and then it boots - into UEFI.

I have no clue how to add back the existing drives into the list. I never had this mess in BIOS.

In the Boot menu, I have these menu items:

Boot Conmfiguration:
Fast Boot - Enabled
Launch CSM - Disabled

Boot Option Priorities
Boot Option#1 : ubuntu (P0: Micron_M600_MTFDDAV256MBF

> Add New Boot Option
> Delete Boot Option


Add New Boot Option gives me this:

Add Boot Option (no entry there)
Path For Boot Option (PCI(17/0)\DevicePath(Type 3, SubType 12)HD(Part1),Sig8801e355-67b7-45c7-8021-d6c37fa1893c)
Boot Option File Path (greyed out)
Create (Please set Boot Option Name and File Path)

And now? Where is all the hardware gone? One SSD, one HD, one disk drive?

Things were much easier under BIOS, such a mess I never have had there.

Same with Windows 98, XP, 7.

This thing was expensive. I am completely frustrated and clueless now, and now I cannot even get a Live Medium to load - entering a medium and booting the machine, boots into the UEFI.

Why could Microsoft not just have done a solid successor to Windows 7.

Scheiße.
