To start, USB media is more durable than disc-based media. Admittedly, the time and effort of creating the drive might make it best-suited for system builders, but for people like us, who juggle test machines, USB is a no-brainer.

For Windows 10 it is HIGHLY recommended to disable Legacy Option ROMs so that there is no confusion when selecting network boot from the F12 menu. Your OS choice will determine whether or not to leave Enable Legacy Option ROMs checked.Under General > Boot Sequence choose to use UEFI instead of Legacy To summarize, the boot mode in the BIOS setup should match the mode selected at the one-time boot menu during imaging. This will also cause the error Bootable disk not found. You'll need to switch from UEFI mode in the setup back to BIOS mode and then re-image the computer to resolve the issue.Įxample of legacy computers that have this issue:Ĭonversely, if the computer is set to boot in Legacy and then UEFI Network (PXE) is selected from the one-time boot menu during imaging, the disk will be formatted with GPT partition map and the computer will be expecting an MBR partition map. This will result in the error Bootable disk not found or similar.

When the computer reboots, it'll try to boot from the internal disk in UEFI mode which does not recognize the MBR partition map. Selecting NIC from Legacy (BIOS) will cause the internal disk to be formatted with an MBR (BIOS) partition map. When selecting a boot option using the one-time boot menu, the option for booting from the NIC (Network - PXE) is available under the Legacy (BIOS) boot section but not UEFI. This issue arises when UEFI booting is enabled in the system setup. One of the issues observed on older computers is that often they support booting in UEFI mode but not UEFI Network (PXE) booting. Booting in Legacy (BIOS) mode while imaging creates an MBR partition scheme while booting in UEFI mode creates a GPT partition scheme. How does this affect EUC Lite Touch imaging? Selecting the boot mode in the computer setup menu can determine the type of partition scheme used when formatting the drive.
