installing fedora on HEWLETT PACKARD pavilion 500

studying this my problem (which is connected to  the use of the UEFI on HP
computers  in place of the traditional BIOS) I found this link:

http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/index.html

There is wrote :
"The way EFI computers boot is very different from the way older computers
based on the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) boot."

*But I didn't yet realized very well what really is this difference *.

Of course I had to disable the "secure boot" (in order to use the CD with
The Fedora installation)..

But, still, I am confused about the boot loader to use (how the Web page
says )...

Perhaps my problem come because I am using the default boot loader (Grub2)
that come with the installation of Fedora and, instead, I should change it
with another more appropriate boot-loader  ???
