Hello. As has previously been posted, I have a UEFI system, which came with MS Win8 installed.
I then installed Debian 7 on the system, and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and, after the Debian 7 installation, the MS Win8 installation, was no longer accessible. However, I have found that the MS Win8 installation still exists, and could be accessible, for booting and operating, via the /efi partition. I have now found that, against my wishes, the Linux installations were done as "legacy BIOS" installations, instead of UEFI/GPT installations, so I now have a system that (after repairing the nasty PC-BSD installation damage) kind of works, but, the UEFI/GPT part of the system, is not seen by the Linux part of the system. Does Debian Linux 7 amd64, install as a UEFI/GPT operating system, or, is it strictly a "legacy BIOS"/FAT/MBR system, and, if Debian Linux 7 amd64 can install and/or operate as a UEFI/GPT system, can my apparently "legacy BIOS" installation of Debian Linux 7 amd64, be converted to a UEFI/GPT installation, or, otherwise, interface with the UEFI/GPT system, so that the bootloader, GRUB 2, can find the MS Win8 installation within the UEFI system? -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
