dbminter Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 That file probably comes from the "boot sector" of a bootable CD. There's a kind of invisible portion of a bootable CD that is only present during the booting phase. If you were able to access the various drives that were visible after booting from a bootable CD, you'd find a drive letter assigned to the "bootable partition" of the CD. This eftsbootcom file is probably only extractable from a bootable CD. You can insert Windows 10 installation discs and extract the "boot sector" from it with ImgBurn, making it available for the bootable section for a bootable CD. Now, to be honest, I've never actually gotten a manually created bootable CD made by ImgBurn to actually boot, so this is probably the extent of my expertise.
