Hi, So if I run sudo cfdisk in dom0 it shows /dev/sda1 EFI system /dev/sda2 Microsoft System /dev/sda3 Microsoft basic data /dev/sda4 Windows recovery environment /dev/sda5 Bios boot In my boot menu I changed to Legacy in order to try and install qubes which did sucessfully. After the installation I restarted the computer in Bios switched to UEFI back again and restarted I get an error saying no bootable device -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
