    Hello, I have a problem that I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. I found a way to force it to boot from the CD/DVD drive, but whenever I click the legacy boot option for the DVD, the boot program I'm running cannot find Windows 8 on it. It says the operating system does not exist, but when I boot in UEFI mode it boots normally normally, the operating system comes up fine. Why won't my boot DVD find the operating system when in legacy mode? I already have secure boot disabled.
