Включите режим совместимости CSM и отключите Secure Boot

Большинство компьютеров с поддержкой UEFI могут загружаться с UEFI дисков, так и с MBR дисков старого формата в режиме совместимости (Legacy).

Перезагрузите систему и войдите в меню настройки UEFI. Клавиша входа в меню UEFI зависит от производителя компьютера, как правило, это клавиши F2, F8, Del или Esc. Либо на нажмите кнопку ESC прямо на экране с ошибкой.

1. Попробуйте в настройках UEFI включить режим совместимости CSM Boot (в некоторых версиях прошивок UEFI он может называться Legacy Boot).
2. В настройках UEFI найдите и отключите режим Secure Boot. Местоположение данной настройки также зависит от производителя прошивки UEFI. Как правило, ее стоит поискать в разделах Security, Authentication или Boot. На ноутбуке HP, например, пункт Secure Boot находится в разделе Security. Измените режим Secure Boot на Disabled или Off.
   Совет. Ранее мы уже рассказывали, что такое UEFI и для чего нужен режим Secure Boot. Велика вероятность, что проблема с недоступностью файла winload.efi при загрузке системы пропадет после отключения режима Secure Boot в настройках UEFI.
3. Убедитесь, что в качестве первичного устройства загрузки выбран ваш жесткий диск.
4. Не забудьте сохранить изменения и попробуйте перезагрузить компьютер.
