Comment 8 for bug 1167617

I think I have a similar problem with the Dell Precision 5520 with bios version 1.0.2. I bought it with Ubuntu and would like to repartition it. I have spent nearly a day trying to boot from a UEFI USB Boot disk. I tried disabling UEFI boot and this also does not work. Googling around I came up on this launchpad bug. For more irony, the link above in the "Bug Description" goes to dell community website which asks for an account -- it does not take my dell account. I try to create a new one which fails (probably some web app bug). I call customer service and they say that they only support hardware issues and software issues require me to pay extra. Beyond frustrated in just two days with the "developer edition laptop" that cost $3000.
