took advice somewhere reformat hard drive gpt, , create boot partition (with mount point /boot) , install bootloader there. created 50mb efi boot partition according different advice.

when turn on laptop doesn't go bootloader @ all. there's boot entry in bios pci lan, , goes automatically this, , bios boot menu screen (not use).

if advise me how reinstall bootloader in 1 of boot partitions great. don't care if best thing reformat disk mbr if helps, can't handle reinstall same non-result got last 3 times.

wireless on laptop work when disk in ide mode, has stay way. don't know if important info or not.
