By changing to Legacy boot mode, I can boot from the Macrium CD, and it then could backup to an external USB drive. I selected the option to create a CD using Windows PE (version 4). But I had to change back to UEFI boot to make the computer boot again. By changing to Legacy boot mode, I can boot from the Aomei CD, and it then could backup my HDD to an external USB drive.
My question was whether I can boot from a Recovery CD in UEFI Mode although the PC can access bootable CDs in Legacy Mode, it won't boot itself.ĬD was created using the Windows PE option rather than Linux.
However the differences some on switching between UEFI mode and Legacy mode in the BIOS settings. I tried both Secure Boot enabled and disabled this didn't seem to affect the findings below. I changed the boot order so that the CD/DVD drive comes before the main HDD, if it finds a valid bootable source. I've been using a Toshiba PC which has 64-bit Windows 8 preinstalled, and is using a GPT file system. I'm posting in case it helps someone else. I'm just been playing with free backup tools Macrium Reflect and Aomei Backupper, and working out which works best for me for those times when you need to boot from a Recovery CD.
