With UEFI boot mode, you can create more than 4 primary partitions on a GPT disk.

UEFI allows users to handle a storage device that is larger than 2TB, while the old legacy BIOS cannot handle so large d.

Tip: If you want to know more details about UEFI vs BIOS, you can read this post РІР‚Сљ UEFI vs. In a word, UEFI boasts more advanced features compared with BIOS. This is because the UEFI mode breaks many limitations of BIOS mode, including the restrictions on the size of hard drive, booting process, number of partitions, and security. More and more users tend to boot their computer in UEFI mode. In recent years, UEFI boot mode seems to be the successor to the BIOS. With UEFI boot mode, your computer can initialize the hardware components and boot the OS stored on the hard disk.

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is known as a motherboard firmware interface for computers. OS8 can see the hdd if it's linux but won't see files that are win8, maybe it's the sleep thing but I have no way to check as the win8 is gone, ditched, history, flushed, trashed, etc.Why do so many people want to create a UEFI boot USB? In order to create a UEFI bootable USB successfully, it is necessary to figure out the following 2 questions first. It seems buggy having to do all this work-around stuff just to copy and save files. User ID is 1000, seems this should be copyable and readable from the live iso.

But booting from a live iso still leaves the personal files locked out via the file manager.

(The os8 doesn't like the ati graphics, whereas os6 does) Then I transferred the new install to the ae2010, ran all the updates, then transferred all the personal files and voila! A new baby was born! Zorin OS8 with all the personal data from win8 useable and working. Then I let the zorin os8 erase and use the entire windows drive, but since it would crash during install I had to do the install using a different mobo in a tower. Since LM uses the same kind of user permissions as Zorin, I used LM to copy the personal files on the windows hdd to a large thumb-drive. The first time it was windows and the zorin file manager couldn't even see the drive. And then I found a gksudo nautilus that brought up such a file manager and after several attempts and unexplained crashes I was successful in getting fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts and they are working. I did find a forum suggestion using alt+F2, no joy, does nothing. I checked the pkg mgr for terminals with root powers and file managers with same, no joy.

How do you get access to root privileges the manual way? Can't seem to 'su' into root from the cmd line. In transferring important files to /root requiring root powers was a little on the difficult side. The file manager shouldn't care about that should it? As I recollect, I think I had put an SSD drive for HDD when I built this computer last year. The boot usb stick, still will not see the HDD via the file manager. I had the Zorin 8 64-bit install itself, reformat and use the entire HDD. Installed Zorin, copied files to new install. I booted up the LM and made a copy of /home onto the usb stick.
