Unable to boot on DVD in UEFI mode
Hello,
I'm trying to install Windows 2012 in a T420 (with PERC H710p) on GPT partition.
I configured the UEFI mode in BIOS, selected DVD in F11 menu and inserted the "System Management Tools and Documentation" DVD.
However... the system cannot find any boot device.
How can I enable the boot on DVD in UEFI ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Strange... I could not find any .efi file on it.
But I have my server installed now.

Hi,
Yes, it is now working... but not with the DVD "System Management Tools and Documentation".
That DVD is not UEFI-bootable.
I booted using the Windows 2012 installation DVD, and I downloaded the PERC H710 driver from the Internet and saved it on an USB key.
