Hi, I am using a rampage 4 extreme and trying to work with UEFI. All the tutorials and videos show the optical device having two listings in the bios, one standard and one UEFI. I have tried everything but cannot get ny DVD rom to show as a UEFI device. It is a LG BH14NS40 Blu ray burner. It is new and appears to be UEFI compatible as others are using it as such. Bios version is 4901 and DVD firmware flashed to latest version. Please help.

So can ANYONE ELSE please confirm that the only way I wouldn't see two listings for my optical drive, i.e. standard and UEFI is if the drive was not compatible? Someone who ACTUALLY KNOWS please.

This should B fairly simple. With Bios at default settings you should be able to boot and press F8 to get boot menu and you should have uefi disk option and standard option. I have done this a few times and never had a problem.

if you boot windows dvd in uefi mode you install in uefi mode. as a test you could format a usb stick in fat32 , reboot and press F8 and see if that gives you 2 options to boot from that usb, if it does not you need to change some settings in your bios.
