</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> It has:

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Do you know how it fails?

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
That's because the bootloader installed is not an efi one,
so it will be ignored.

&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So questions:
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> - is it possible to boot Mageia using legacy boot on GPT disk ?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Yes (using grub, not lilo)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> It's the case, but it's not working.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
The gpt part works, the (u)efi part needs a (u)efi capable bootloader
installed in ESP partition on the disk (usually mounted as /boot/efi)

On a Windows7 system I used the fedora grub-efi package following this:
<A HREF="http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/grub_legacy.html">http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/grub_legacy.html</A>

I havent tested if grub2 is capable of booting it...


&gt;<i> I did try in rescue mode to reinstall grub but it failed with &quot;hd0 not
</I>&gt;<i> found&quot;.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> - is it possible to boot Mageia using UEFI ?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I think so but I have never tried. I remember someone reporting success.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I'll seek archives then.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>

I have a Win8 system here too wich I have plans to try and get
all isos to boot in efi mode on and install properly on but
haven't had time to do much of it yet.
