Not in VirtualBox, it's still listed as experimental.

Again, not in VirtualBox. You do not get that many options because they're not implemented. Yet.

I have yet to see an OS that requires EFI exclusively, except OSX guests, and that's why the EFI interface was developed. For example, the EFI implementation will not allow you to boot a Win7 guest.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Despite of experimental provision, the uefi works very well! That's what I like about vb!
