Mageia 3 on UEFI?

Postby stefananimall » Jun 1st, '13, 17:36

Hello,

How can I install Mageia 3 in dual boot with Windows 8 on an UEFI notebook?
Windows 8 came preinstalled with UEFI.

I hope someone can help me

Hi stefanimall,

Many of us don't have such new laptops, but from what I've heard it should be possible with traditional installer (all install media except the LiveCD or LiveDVD), the LiveCD/DVD has a bug https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_3_Errata#Live

Joseph Wang wrote a wiki page about how he got UEFI booting to work on his laptop. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/UEFI_booting l hope it is useful for you
