The conclusion reached here is that none of the three tools reviewed below offered a solution for booting most tools in a UEFI system.
#WINSETUPFROMUSB INSTALL#
I couldn’t use that approach in this case because (a) a DVD was too small to contain all of the tools I wanted to install and (b) in any case, my laptop didn’t have an optical disc drive. Even so, the multiboot DVD did provide a workaround.
Later, I suspected that the problem may have been that I wasn’t yet aware of the difficulty or impossibility of booting a UEFI (i.e., non-BIOS) system using a USB device designed for use on BIOS (a/k/a Legacy) systems. As described in another post, I had worked up such a DVD for my own use on a laptop that did not seem to want to boot from USB. Note that it was also possible to create a multiboot DVD or, possibly, a multiboot Blu-Ray disc. The focus here was on “multiboot” devices, meaning that a single USB drive might contain multiple tools and installers, with a menu allowing me to choose which one I wished to boot. The alternate boot system might be a Linux “live” CD it might be a diagnostic tool, or an ISO made from a Windows installation DVD it might be something else. This post talks about using USB drives to boot computers with something other than the installed operating system. (Note: a more recent post updates part of this post.)
