Hello, people,
So here I am with my HP G6 laptop who's hard drive is about to fail some time soon or not.. At least the system tells me that every time I switch on my laptop. I've decided to ditch preinstalled windows 8 and created new partition table and installed ubuntu studio. Then changed it to opensuse. Now want to go back to ubuntu studio.
Since my hard drive threatens me to fail, I've decided to get myself a solid state drive. (Any suggestions? I'm not needy about capacity. Just want it to be REALLY fast)
My question is - where exactly is that UEFI stored? Will my laptop turn to Legacy with new drive installed? Or do I have to configure my new SSD to work with my laptop?
My goal is to dual boot ubuntu studio and windows 7 or at least ubuntu studio. Neither of them requires system to be UEFI, can I get rid of it somehow as it complicates the installation proces.
For example I can only boot to grub2 command prompt and have to load kernel manually, no matter what I did I can't figure out, how to make grub load selection menu.
