Hi Jeff,

yes, I tried this, and if I set a password for the hdd in BIOS, I can disable 
UEFI. However, the nvme-drive needs UEFI activated, thus my livesystems won't 
boot.

I tried to overwrite the actual firmware, but as it was the newest one, the 
installer inhibits to overwrite the existing BIOS.

Hope this make things clearer

Best

Hans
