Introduction

The purpose of this document is to describe the steps required to successfully install

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) based Microsoft ® Windows Vista®

SP1 on HP Notebook PCs. Microsoft initiated support of UEFI boot on x64 systems

with Windows Vista SP1. HP EliteBooks and Compaq Notebooks began support of

UEFI boot in 2008.

The following notebooks are those platforms and models supporting UEFI at the

time of this writing:

•HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation, Notebook PC and Tablet PCs (8530p,

8530w, 8730w, 6930p, 2530p, 2730p)

•HP Compaq Notebook PCs (6735s, 6535s, 6735b, 6535b, 6730s, 6830s,

6530b, 6730b, 2230s)



Step 1: HP and Compaq notebooks are shipped with the BIOS boot as default,

so to enable the UEFI boot; the user must first make the change to UEFI boot at the

Setup. To accomplish this, immediately after the PC is powered on, enter Setup by

pressing <ESC> when prompted and then press <F10> - see Figure 1.



While in Setup, press the <TAB> key to select the System Configuration page – see

Figure 2.

While on the System Configuration page, select the Device Configuration page –

see Figure 3.

While on the Device Configuration page, make sure the UEFI Boot Mode is

enabled. Also, if HP QuickLook 2 application use is desired, make sure HP

QuickLook 2 is enabled as well.

Now exit the Setup, making sure to save these changes – the system will reboot.

Step 2: After the system reboots, press <ESC> and then select <F9>. On the F9

menu, select the “Boot From EFI File” option (this option only shows up when the PC

is in the UEFI Boot Mode). See Figure 4.

Note: Selecting the “Boot From EFI File” option enables launching the Windows

Setup process from the installation media using the UEFI boot method on the

Windows installation DVD. The UEFI boot of Windows Setup is required for

Windows to configure the installed operating system for UEFI boot. If the UEFI boot

method on the installation DVD is not used, Windows Setup will launch using BIOS

firmware by default, and the installed operating system will use BIOS boot.



Figure 4: Screenshot of the F9 Menu. The “Windows Boot Manage” boot option will not

be listed if this is the first time installing UEFI-based Windows Vista SP1

The initial File Explorer menu lists available storage devices including a “Primary

Master” hard disk, if the hard disk is formatted, and an entry for Removable Media

for the “CDROM”, if the installation media is inserted into the CD/DVD reader.

Select the CDROM entry (one that has the Removable Media type with the CDROM

(Entry1) as the last portion of the device path shown). See Figure 5. If the hard disk

has never been formatted, the CDROM entry should be the only one shown.

Now the File Explorer will list the directory structure of the UEFI boot portion of the

Windows Vista SP1 Installation DVD. Navigate to the \EFI\BOOT directory, and

select Bootx64.efi. This will clear the screen and present the message, “Press

any key to boot from CD or DVD…”.

Step 3: After Windows Setup is launched from the install media, the Windows

Vista SP1 installation process for either UEFI or BIOS configuration is the same.

The difference in the installed system after Setup completes is the hard disk partition

format uses the GPT format with UEFI enabled, and the Windows boot environment

uses a UEFI version of the Windows boot manager. Without UEFI enabled, the

installed operating system uses the MBR format for hard disk partitions and a BIOS

version of the Windows boot manager. If the user wants to install UEFI-based

Windows Vista SP1 on a hard disk already formatted in MBR, the warning

message “Windows cannot be installed to this disk” would appear. The user must

delete all partitions before start the installation. The same is true in the reverse

scenario if the user wants to install BIOS-based Windows Vista SP1 on a hard disk

already formatted in GPT. See Figure 6.

based Vista SP1 install; bottom: existing GPT disk for BIOS-based Vista SP1 install)



If the user intends to install HP QuickLook 2, HP System Diagnostic or BIOS

Recovery, an additional disk partition HP_TOOLS must be created and it must be

assigned a drive letter after the OS is started. Please refer to the white paper “HP

Business Notebook Computer EFI Guidelines” for more details.

Step 4: After the installation is complete, open the Disk Manager Console to

verify the Windows Vista SP1 installation configured the system for the UEFI

firmware environment. The Disk Manager will show two partitions on the disk, and

one of the partitions is identified as the “EFI System Partition”. Another way to verify



that the system is configured for UEFI boot is to check the Windows Vista SP1 boot

configuration.

To check the boot configuration, start a command prompt and run as Administrator

(Click Start, in the Start Search box, type command. A list of matches will

appear above. Right-click Command Prompt in Programs list, and then click

Run as administrator. You will likely be prompted for an administrator

confirmation, or a password. Type your password or click Continue). From the

command prompt, run the command: bcdedit – which will display the boot

configuration for Windows Vista SP1. You will see the Windows Boot Manager

path refers to \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi, as per following example:

C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit

Notes: Not all the Windows drivers for the devices on these systems are available

on the Windows Vista installation disk. Please go to www.hp.com and search for

the model string (e.g., 2730p), software and drivers for the model would be

available from the links provided. Please make sure to select the software and

drivers for the x64 edition of Vista.

The "UEFI Boot" option is provided for development purposes only and is currently

not fully supported or warranted by HP. Preboot Authentication and Drive Lock are

currently not supported under the UEFI Boot mode. HP strongly recommends

disabling Preboot Authentication and Drive Lock before enabling UEFI Boot.
