Switching tween UEFI and LEGACY generally not a good idea especially with win 7, 8 and 10. Should be set to UEFI enabled generally when installing Windows. Switching back and forth after could cause windows to fail. Maybe thats your issue?

Surely if you click on DISABLED opposite Boot Option #1 or #2 you should get a drop down menu to select either disabled or the other devices like Harddrive or CD drive to boot from?

What happens when you click on DISABLED

3options appear in Boot Option 1 and/or 2
Windows Boot Manager
AHCI P0 WDC WD10EZEX-08M2NAO
Disabled (which is what I can't change)

I did not switch between UEFI and Legact I was trying to switch the boot from to DVD or my Recovery thumb drive.

@ abacab CSM is Enabled

Agreed, those 'Disabled' buttons should be pop up menus. They are probably just listing the currently active selection, which you should be able to change to any option in the menu. Hopefully you will see some other options in that menu!

Hmmm... my CD/DVD drive always shows up in the boot list as ATAPI. I can set that to boot order #1, and good to go for booting from a CD/DVD.

I wonder why yours is not showing up?
