The easiest thing is to create a bootable memory with a distribution that has support for UEFI that we have out there, in my case I used Linux Mint 17, we are not going to install it or anything we just need to use grub from the usb. Once installed we activate UEFI again from the Bios, and we started playing. We proceed to disable UEFI of the Bios and leave it in Legacy mode, we save and restart booting from memory again, now this time we have to start, and we install like any other.
