Are you sure? I have to admit that this is the first time I've 
encountered EFI (my current laptop is 5 years old), but I see in the 
"BIOS" under the "Boot" tab options such as "Add New Boot Option" for 
which the context help explicitly mentions EFI. I also do not have an 
option (or at least, I cannot find it) to revert to the old way of booting.
