Running IFL on UEFI without a Boot Disk

Yes, piece of cake.

Great! Thank you!

 

Do you have a third item in the EasyUEFI Boot list? I found I'd get a UEFI OS to match the item I'd created manually.

 

No just two:
First: Windows Boot Manager
Second: IFL

 

Does Validate script is set to reboot when it finishes?
I ask because when it finished a message popped up saying Validate was OK but didn't restarted.

 

Sorry, I missed that. You need --uy

--v --uy

 

No problem, thanks.

 

In order to free my USB stick I made an image using IFW and restored to the free space on the HD and it worked. You know that image file serves for deploying your IFL method across n computers while keeping my USB sticks free.

 

I'm confused. Did you restore the IFL image to another computer?

 

Sorry.
To make IFL partition on HD I need to free space on it, next I copy using IFW the IFL UFD to such free space.
However in order to use your method across many computers without having a dedicated IFL UFD, I did an image of that UFD using IFW and saved it elsewhere. That way whenever I need to use your method I just restore that image to the free space using IFW, no need to have a UFD...

I did three sets of everything for each Windows versión I use, editing what I need to change:
1. Win7 (this one is slightly different, @0x1,0x2,0x3 only)
2. Win8.1
3. Win10

 

Excellent.

Thank you very much for this brilliant solution. As usual from you.
Hope this is it cause I'm going to set back my PC with my normal SSD and everything.

chapeau

 

Thank you. It certainly has been interesting. The corrected script for the paid version is...

Code:

@echo off
CD /d %~dp0
set TBOSDT=C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro\win
"%TBOSDT%\tbosdtw.exe" type.tbs
echo.
"C:\Program Files\EasyUEFI\bin\easyuefic.exe" --list-efi
"C:\Program Files\EasyUEFI\bin\easyuefic.exe" --one-time-boot --index 1
pause
shutdown -r -t 0

 

For those with Macrium Reflect or other WinPEs who would like to run them from the HD. None of the scripts apply to you. Just copy the UFD to the HD and boot it from the EasyUEFI GUI.

Mister X,

Nice. Are you using the EasyUEFI Pro version? Trial or paid?

 

Pro, paid.

 

Great. My Pro trial period is over so I can't do what you are doing. I'll buy it too when I start using UEFI mode on my main computer but that could be years away. I prefer MBR mode. UEFI mode is used in my test computer.

 

Mister X,

If you would like to try TBOSDT Pro instead of EasyUEFI your files would be...

type.cmd

Code:

@echo off
CD /d %~dp0
set TBOSDT=C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro\win
"%TBOSDT%\tbosdtw.exe" type.tbs
echo.
pause
shutdown -r -t 0

type.tbs

Code:

sub main()
  ext("list uefi bootitems")
  printl("")
  ext("open fs 0: 0 0x07")
  ext("del file 0:\scripts\scriptslist.txt /y")
  printl("")
  ext("SET TEXTLINE 0:\scripts\scriptslist.txt ^"Backup.tbs^"")
  printl("scriptslist.txt contains...")
  printl("")
  ext("type 0:\scripts\scriptslist.txt")
  ext("close fs 0:")
  printl("")
  ext("set uefi bootnext bootnum")
end sub

Edit... you have to determine the bootnum from a previous "list uefi bootitems"
For example, if it is 0x0006 then the line would be...
ext("set uefi bootnext 0x0006")

 

Thank you.

 

??
'years away' before starting UEFI mode on your main computer? Could you tell me why?!

 

myk1,

EasyUEFI proved to be unstable and I didn't have a boot manager able to boot my many Windows and Linux OS in a UEFI multi-boot system. I could do it with BootIt Bare Metal in a MBR system. BootIt UEFI was released in 2018 and I've been multi-booting UEFI systems ever since.

 

Ok, thks
