No UEFI File System present after image
After imaging a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop with Dell Image Assist, which I have done successfully at least a few times, it is unable to boot. Within the BIOS, Boot Sequence>UEFI there are no longer any boot options, not even Windows Boot Manager. When attempting to add a UEFI boot option I get the error "No File System Found". Tried to re-image with a Legacy option (used to use Ghost before DIA) and it imaged, but still could not boot "invalid Partition Type", even though Ghost converted the partitions for Legacy imaging/boot.
I thought I would be clever and swap SSDs with an alternate 6410 that I had sitting around. The imaging process went smoothly, however, the system would not boot afterwards (no boot option found). Went into the BIOS, Boot Sequence>UEFI and this system was just like the other...no boot options/"No File System Found".
I'm really scratching my head here as I did not think BIOS would be affected, are the UEFI boot options present on the drive itself?
Anything to help clear this up, or any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

I wanted to ask was the initial image that you are restoring created with the BIOS set to Legacy? you did mention if the BIOS was set to Legacy the image restored fine in which this would mean that it was created in Legacy and the only option you have is to recreate a new image but with the BIOS set to UEFI then can you restore it to a computer with the BIOS set to UEFI.

In all of my attempts to fix this, sometimes, it will detect the bootable USB I have the WIMs on, however, when I attempt to image, on either one of these 6410s, this is the error I get:
Basically, it is no longer seeing either of these SSDs

No, the image was created w/ BIOS set to UEFI, I set BIOS to Legacy manually and re-imaged with Ghost (semi) successfully, just to test
