I'd recommend not doing that. If you're planning to dual-boot, you'll have to reinstall your other OS after changing the boot type. There shouldn't be any reason to disable UEFI or, in most cases, Secure Boot.
Thanks, Gordon. A lot of talk on Googleland talks about setting the BIOS to legacy mode, so that's the way I went. Centos 7 said nothing the contrary either... or doesn't say much otherwise. But so, yes, taking your advice: I reset all default BIOS settings to previously (UEFI enabled, Legacy disabled) and then accessing the flashdrive at the top of the list.
However now booting again, the CentOS 7 menu items all lead to these errors:
-------------- Image too small error: /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz has invalid signature error: you need to load the kernel first.
Press 'e' to edit the selected line, or 'c' for a command prompt. --------------
Any suggestions as to what to do here?
