Table 10-1. Boot Maintenance Menu Options

Option

Description

Boot from a File

Automatically adds EFI applications as boot options or
allows you to boot from a specific file.

When you choose this option, the system searches all the
EFI System Partitions in the system. For each partition
it looks for an EFI directory. If the EFI directory is
found, then it looks in each of the subdirectories below
EFI. In each of those subdirectories, it looks for the first
file that is an executable EFI Application. Each of the
EFI Applications that meet this criterion can be
automatically added as a boot option. In addition,
legacy boot options for A: and C: are also added if those
devices are present.
You can also launch a specific application without
adding it as a boot option. In this case the EFI Boot
Manager searches the root directories and the
\EFI\TOOLS directories of all of the EFI System
Partitions present in the system for the specified EFI
Application.

Add a Boot Option

Adds a boot option to the EFI Boot Manager. You
specify the option by providing the name of the EFI
application. Along with the name you can also provide
either ASCII or UNICODE arguments the file might use.
Given the EFI application name and any options, the EFI
Boot Manager searches for the executable file in the
same partitions and directories as described in “Boot
from a File” option. When the file is found, it is
executed.

Delete Boot
Options

Allows the user to delete a specific boot option or all
boot options.

Change Boot Order Allows the user to control the relative order in which the

EFI Boot Manager attempts boot options. For help on
the control key sequences you need for this option, refer
to the help menu.

Manage BootNext
Setting

Allows the user to select a boot option to use one time
(the next boot operation).
