What do you need? Can I help you testing things in a Toshiba laptop, where I have Windows 8 delivered on a DVD disk (and I have it backed up too)? I can run it in UEFI as well as in BIOS mode. It is specified in the following link http://www.toshiba.se/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/satellite-pro-c850-19w/ In that computer I can even run a system from a USB pendrive, that boots in both modes https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS I have also some spare HDD or SSD, than can be trashed. But I hope the computer itself will survive. So to be clear, I can test things here at my place in my computer, if it can help you.
