Need quick help, please.
I cannot install Windows 8.1 with UEFI through DVD drive on my new 3TB Barracuda drive.
I think the problem is, I cannot see DVD drive as UEFI in BIOS.
The board is Gigabyte GA-Z97-MX Gaming 5 with Z97 chipset.
I've tried to change some things in BIOS on UEFI, but with no luck.
In Win 8.1 installation, I've formatted the drive through Shift+F10 console on GPT format. Then it shows me as one 3TB unallocated space, but when I've created 200GB partition it automatically made two another partitions: one 2.2TB and second one smaller.
Please, where can be the problem and how to solve it?
