When I use the command line tool efibootmgr to modify the UEFI's boot entries, it fails with Could not prepare Boot variable: No space left on device. But I am not sure which device efibootmgr thinks is full; sda1 has plenty of space and is mounted writeable; it seems to be something directly by the BIOS? -- The same message appears when I want to reorder Bootnums, but the reordering still is carried out.

Efibootmgr wiki Use this reference to change boot order if you so choose. Reboot into bios and you should see your windows install as an option to boot. Source: over 1 year ago
So I updated the install script to use efibootmgr to change the boot order. It's updated from the looks of things, but the CDROM still boots. Even when I use it to delete boot entries, it continues to kick the Live CD. When I change the EFI boot order manually in the vSphere client or disable entries, it will boot the installed Arch Linux.

Assuming you are using EFI you can use https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr to change your boot order. This will bypass GRUB. I would create a bash alias to change the next boot device and then restart the computer so you can have everything happen with one command. Source: over 2 years ago

For HDDs, you'll want to use a program called DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) to wipe it. It's included in the Ultimate Boot CD, and you can make that a bootable USB instead by using Rufus. Source: almost 2 years ago
Someone below commented to use rufus. That tool is meant for flashing OS install images, but just using the format section should work fine. I use GParted's livecd, although that might be a bit overkill for a quick format. Source: almost 2 years ago
I would just download the ISO by itself. You don't really need the "assistant". Just mount the ISO with Rufus. Source: over 2 years ago
Maybe download the installers for Fedora & Tumbleweed and boot to the USB Drive you install the .iso file on to 'try' a distro first instead of destroying you current setup for the totally unknown world of linux. Use Rufus to create the bootable USB drive and HashTab to check the .iso files checksum. https://rufus.akeo.ie/. Source: almost 3 years ago
