== Switching from BIOS to UEFI == | |||
For UEFI install the Disk partition table should be of type '''GPT (Guid Partition Table).''' | |||
1.) You would need to create an ''ESP (EFI System Partition)''. | |||
Its basically a fat32 partition which has the .efi files for booting. | |||
You can create the partition using Gparted. | |||
You would also need to install/check whether following packages are present- | |||
1. efibootmgr | |||
2. dosfstools | |||
3. grub | |||
2.) Create the ''/boot/efi'' directory | |||
sudo mkdir /boot/efi | |||
3.) Mount the EFI partition as ''/boot/efi'' | |||
sudo mount /dev/sdXY /boot/efi | |||
X = Alphabet of the drive = a,b,c ... | |||
Y = Partition number of the EFI partition = 1,2,3,4... | |||
Example - ''/dev/sda4'' | |||
4.) Install Grub according to UEFI | |||
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck | |||
5.) Update Grub configuration file. | |||
sudo update-grub | |||
