| Jun 30, 2016 at 15:24 | comment | added | ChrisR. | @AnubianNoob This step is done during the partitioning of the hard drive inside the Debian installer. If you go into "Partition hard drives" option (paraphrasing), you can set the EFI partition that Windows made as the EFI partition for Debian to use by setting the partition as EFIboot (by setting the EFI boot flag) | |
| Nov 11, 2014 at 19:13 | comment | added | Anubian Noob | "You are only going to tell the installer to use it as the EFI partition." How do you do that? I just installed debian, but I didn't see any way to add an entry to the UEFI boot partition... | |

FYI: I suddenly had some luck when installing from USB, it suddenly went all fine when I installed it | |

| Jul 24, 2014 at 4:09 | comment | added | Throoze | when installing debian, it asks if I want to install Grub in the MBR, what should I say? where do i tell it to install grub? thanks for your help! | |
| Mar 13, 2014 at 13:17 | comment | added | Protonz | Thank you very much, I reinstalled windows 8 and installed Debian on USB. Because if this, it was instantly UEFI enabled. Now I'm using Grub as bootloader. Thank you very much, I appreciate your answer! | |
