I'm glad you're now able to choose which OS to run albeit with the
major inconvenience of having to switch UEFI on and off.
But to progress on the issue, I fear you are in deeper and more
dangerous areas than are discussed or supported here.

I guess you have probably read such pages as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface
where these issues are touched upon.

Good luck, anyway.

Cheers,
David.
