Re: DX79TO loading EFI partition even before One-Time Boot Menu/BIOS Setup

Been there, done that. I couldn't even boot up Windows' PE before cleaning the SSD through diskpart in MBR mode - got stuck into the original boot 'deadlock' problem. I managed to get rid of this first problem by cleaning the SSD through DiskPart itself. The 0x00000225 error started appearing only after cleaning, building a new GPT and installing into a fresh unallocated heap (the entire wiped SSD, in case), and still kept appearing whenever I tried again, by wiping through GParted or DiskPart, cleaning, building an MBR, converting to GPT, cleaning again, building a GPT, or w/e and finally installing. The only way I was able to install Windows again was by getting rid of the whole UEFI stuff, disabling it and installing in MBR mode again, into a freshly partitioned MBR SSD making this not a solution, but instead jsut a duct-taped-workaround to the whole problem itself, which I can't seem to identify what is causing, nor where exactly it is happening, if it's in my SSD, in the MS EFI Bootloader, on Windows 7 itself, in the BIOS or whatever (maybe Ubuntu/grub messed up something on the UEFI/BIOS, I wouldn't be surprised considering this has happened once to me, unexplainably).
