Creating a bootable usb for UEFI

Hi,

I am trying to boot into the k2000 with an uefi PC.
I found this article explaining the process:
https://documents.software.dell.com/k2000-systems-deployment-appliance/3.7.1/administrator-guide/performing-manual-deployments/install-a-boot-environment-to-a-usb-device#

I've created a USB using the install.exe, but the USB gets recognised as a legeacy boot option.
I've tried both the NTFS and the fat32/uefi option.

What am i missing here?

Best regards

bok

  • This might not be what you're looking for, but you can still deploy a UEFI image from a legacy boot environment. - nheyne 7 years ago
    • This could be an option too.
      Though i am not trying to deploy an image, but a scripted install.. Does this matter?

      If i were to deploy through a legacy mode, it would be done like this right?:

      1. Set bios to legacy

      2. Run Kace2000 rutines

      3. change bios back to uefi (before post installs i assume?) - bok 7 years ago
      • Yes something like that, if you want to use SecureBoot it won't work because you'd need to allow legacy booting, so it would be ideal to use UEFI all around but technically possible to boot the computer UEFI and allow legacy booting as well. - nheyne 7 years ago

Should point you in the right direction - your boot/build/KACE build junk needs to be EFI supported.

Hi,

I know it's an old post, but just for anyone that face this problem recently:

I faced the same problem. When I booted in UEFI, I was able to go to the bios and select the "add Boot option" and see the USB, but it was asking for the file name and I was so confused about which file I should select.

The problem was I was using a 64G USB drive and didn't consider it's so big for Fat32 formatting.

So I changed my USB to an 8G and it worked like a charm! also, you should wait till the end of the process of formatting by the installer.exe, it would show a message that is completed. It will change the drive name to k2000 and is ready to go after that message.
