Windows Boot Manager

Tuesday, August 5, 2014 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Windows Boot Manager

Due to potential bugs, I helped a client to boot Windows 7 on an OptiPlex 9010 that was originally set for Windows 8 from the factory. This was an easy procedure for them to follow but as the time came to boot Windows 8 once more on the OptiPlex 9010, the client kept getting the message saying that no boot devices were found.

After a little investigation for the client, I discovered that the Windows Boot Manager was removed accidentally by the client’s in-house technicians instead of being unchecked (which prevented the EUFI mode from working correctly) on a few of their OptiPlex 9010. If this should happen to you, here is a configuration from one working machine that you can code into yours. I manually added the information into the BIOS settings since I could not copy and paste it.

Boot Option Name:
Windows Boot Manager

File System List:
HD(2,GPT,DB82A539-17FB-11E4-825B-F8B156997270)

File Name:
\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
