Cyclonus Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hi Guys Does anyone know a way of changing the boot order so that it boots windows off the internal sata m2 without having to disable the 32gb atari os drive in there? The only way its boots off windows on startup is to disable the atari os drive? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm working on this too. Currently I have the refind boot manager on a USB flashdrive, and that boots first, which allows me to boot Ubuntu by default instead of Atari OS. That works, but I want to do it without consuming a USB port. Some have installed a boot manager like Refind or Grub onto the Atari OS drive, which gives you the option to choose OS and set default. I don't really want to alter my Atari OS partitions, but if it comes to that I will. How did you disable the Atari OS drive? I tried several options in BIOS but I couldn't get it so that it disabled the eMMC but booted from the SSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Think it was under EFI boot options, there will be a cross on the EMMC partition just press space and it will untick the atari os drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The update to the BIOS in this last system update referred to improving PC-Mode boot support. I think the situation may have changed since that. - For a Windows installation on USB, that will auto-boot by priority over AtariOS, if connected. - Ubuntu should do the same, but there is the requirement to sign UEFI after install for that to work. I didn't have chance to check out my various external boot disks, since the update, to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw that, I went into the BIOS last night after receiving the update, and there are definite changes to the options, but I still didn't see a way to make the SSD the first boot option. 11 minutes ago, justclaws said: Ubuntu should do the same, but there is the requirement to sign UEFI after install for that to work. I installed ubuntu 20.04 on mine. What do you have to do to sign it? I thought Ubuntu took care of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on YT videos, it looks like VCS bios had the option to change boot order but it's currently disabled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
