Are you trying to change the Boot List Options using Dell's Command Configure Utility?

 

If you are looking to change the BIOS boot list from Legacy to UEFI. Or conversely using the Dell Command | Configure utility .ini files (Initialization File Type). I have to advise you that it does not work. Check out the section below for a guide to resolve this.

What Boot Options are we talking about?

  • Legacy - Some devices and operating systems still do not support a UEFI-based BIOS and only boot from the Legacy BIOS boot mode. Such as when installing Windows it uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition format. If you install Windows using the wrong mode, you cannot use the features of that firmware mode without reformatting the drive.
  • UEFI - Unified Extensible Firmware Interface is the latest version of BIOS. It supports current firmware, protocols, and specifications and it uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition format. (Which supports Partitions of 2 TB or more.) If you install Windows using the wrong mode, you cannot use the features of that firmware mode without reformatting the drive.

An explanation of why this happens and how to resolve this issue

 

It has been confirmed that the Command | Configure Wizard for Self-Contained Executables (SCE) or .ini and CCTK files does not support switching the boot list.

To resolve this, you can run a single CLI command before starting to run the .ini file.

Note: Be aware these commands do not work if used within an .ini file.

Follow these steps instead:

  1. Open a command prompt.

  2. Use one of the following commands:

    • C:\>cctk bootorder --activebootlist=legacy

    • C:\>cctk bootorder --activebootlist=uefi

  3. Run your .ini file and proceed as normal.

Note: With --activebootlist, do not specify any other suboptions, such as --sequence, --enabledevice, and --disabledevice.
