Is this bug still considered important (amongst the 3500 other bugs in the list)?
I just encountered a slightly different flavour of this one, and can provide some input before I try vikings777's fix. I've been running pre-installed Windows 7 on a Fujitsu AH532 since 2012. Two weeks back, I installed a Live-USB with Ubuntu 14.04. All working well, but I struggled getting it persistent, so I decided to do a full Ubuntu installation to another USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard drive untouched. 1) I entered my "BIOS" to change boot order, and booting from my Ubuntu Live-USB. 2) I followed a installation guide (don't remember now which one on the top of my head), and partitioned my second USB-drive with a BIOS boot partition, an UEFI partition, a main partition and a swap partition. 3) I installed Ubuntu on a second USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard- drive "intact" (???) Now, I can only boot my machine by inserting my second full- installation-USB-drive. I cannot boot Windows, and I cannot boot from my LiveUSB. If I boot without inserting my full-installation-USB-drive, I get the boot screen telling me I can press F2 or F12, none which work, as described by others before me, apart from making the correct beep. Then I enter the "Boot menu" (incl "Application menu"). I even physically removed my Windows hard drive, but the same thing happens. If anyone has time and interest to look at this, now a tad old issue, let me know what sort of debug reports you want, and I'll try to help.
