Converted disk to MBR but I cannot boot using UEFI

Disk has now been converted to MBR but when I try to switch to UEFI the bios does not recognize the drive unless I keep it to Legacy. 

 

Any ideas on what to do next?

    Hi TammerAb,

    The MBR partition table is not supported by UEFI, you need to convert you partition to GPT in order to boot from UEFI. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further assistance, I will welcome the questions you may have.
