Q10062102 - How to create a bootable USB drive to access the default EFI shell to launch the McBIOS RAID manager?

  1. Format your USB drive as FAT32

     

  2. Create the following directory structure in the root of the USB drive

  3. Download the UEFI Shell (Shell.efi) from the following link
  4. Rename the UEFI shell file to Bootx64.efi
    • 32bit : Bootia32.efi

       

  5. Copy the UEFI shell (now Bootx64.efi) to the /efi/boot directory

     

  6. With the USB thumb drive inserted into any of the back-panel USB ports of the M/B board, boot the system into the EFI shell.
