Hi Admin,
Yes, it can IF the PC on which you are making the boot able media has a CD/DVD writer, which two of my five PCs do not. As mentioned, the first PC without CD writer, I made a USB flash boot, then converted to CD boot with imgburn. The second PC without CD writer, no such luck. Hubris? did I think I knew what I was doing but doing it wrong? I used a third PC with CD writer to make the CDs with imgburn.
I have three other PCs with CD/DVD writers, on my main PC, Todo wrote to CD just fine. The other two have yet to be tried.
Guess I'll just have to bang my head against it, eh? If you see blood, call an ambulance! LOL.
The strange thing is that the USB flash drive made on the problem PC does work. It's just that the CD made from those files doesn't, with the 0xC000000F error code about the BCD unreadable.
My procedure in the case of PC with no CD writer: make USB flash boot media. Test if it is boot able. Take that media to a PC with a CD writer. Make the boot able CD. Test the CD on any PC to see if it boots. This process works in the case of PC-#1, fails in the case of PC-#2. Both are HP 8300 sff desktops.
Anybody else got an idea? Thanks and be well
