A friend gave me a pc the other day saying that it can't boot. All i got is that the machine is a vulcan laptop model no VNB11602IS. I tried running some live distros using a USB drive but no luck. Seems that no matter what I try I either enter the SETUP or fall into an EFI shell saying something like the following:
EFI Shell version 2.31 [5.8]
Current running mode 1.1.2
Device mapping table
fs0 :HardDisk - Alias hd13b blk0
fs1 ...
blk0 ...
. ...
. ...
. ...
blk7 ...
Shell>
I tried preparing USB drives using YUMI and YUMI UEFI but none seem to boot.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how I might be able to proceed... thanks
1While on SETUP can't you change your UEFI option to legacy or disabled? – arana – 2018-02-12T19:41:36.363
@arana From the setup the only boot options I have are quiet boot and fast boot, both of which are disabled – natral – 2018-02-12T19:47:21.313
1some laptops do not give you the full set of configuration options if you are not using the admin password,some even have different setup for uefi, vulcan site shows 2 methods for entering bios in some devices [https://vulcanelectronics.freshdesk.com/facebook/support/solutions/articles/6000177617-how-to-enter-uefi-bios-windows-10] – arana – 2018-02-12T22:21:26.017
