How to install Windows 8 on EFI hard disk?

  
EFI is the English abbreviation of Extensible Firmware Interface, which means: Extensible firmware interface.
Remarks:
Note: Please prepare GPT format hard disk in advance, because EFI can only be booted from GPT hard disk (conversion needs to delete all partitions, so please backup the data before conversion to prevent loss)
Steps:
1, first prepare a hard disk partition of about 4G, select FAT32 file system when formatting, do not choose NTFS, because EFI Shell does not support NTFS.

2, then copy the EFI Shell file (if you do not have EFI Shell files, you can download the attachment) and the files in the Windows 8 installation CD image to the root directory of this new zone (as shown) Show)

3, restart the computer, enter the bios settings menu, select "Launch EFI Shell from filesystem device"
4, enter the EFI Shell and enter "lds;fs0:” enter, then enter “dir” Enter, if you see the files and folders that are just the partition, then it is right (may be fs1:, fs2: wait, try one by one)
5, enter in turn “ Cd efi”,“cd boot”,“bootx64.efi”
6. If you see the Windows 8 splash screen, it will be successful, and then you will start to install it like a CD
