Thanks for your assistance. I have attempted these options but I am not able to get it installed on UEFI. I cannot install it on legacy mode because the system does not permit booting from internal drives on legacy mode. My system will not even get to the installer because i cannot edit the xen.cfg or boot.cfg files unless i burn to USB as an ISO. When I burn with DD (rufus) it wont let me edit those files at all because theyre "read only" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
