Hi Dimitri,

What do you need? Can I help you testing things in a Toshiba laptop,
where I have Windows 8 delivered on a DVD disk (and I have it backed up
too)? I can run it in UEFI as well as in BIOS mode. It is specified in
the following link

http://www.toshiba.se/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/satellite-pro-c850-19w/

In that computer I can even run a system from a USB pendrive, that
boots in both modes

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS

I have also some spare HDD or SSD, than can be trashed. But I hope the
computer itself will survive. So to be clear, I can test things here at
my place in my computer, if it can help you.

Best regards
Nio
