More recently, a co-worker pointed me to Rufus... https://rufus.akeo.ie/ It's easier to use than the alternatives, and has given me far fewer issues with various picky BIOSes not wanting to boot from the resulting image. I don't know if this will solve your issue, but it's worth a try! Gilbert On 15/05/2018 4:46 PM, Carl Friedberg wrote: > I have a similar situation.
