If I mount the ISO, I can see it contains zero files. This ISO has zero ISO content so it would not work.

(Scroll to the right: it says "bootable") home/nico/7yuj40uc.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data '7YUJ40US ' (bootable) Did I forget one step?ĭetails about the iso image ( readme): ls -lh 7yuj40uc.iso Not wanting to waste a CD, I copied the image to my USB stick: sudo dd if=/home/nico/7yuj40uc.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1MĪnd rebooted, after making sure USB is first in the boot sequence. (still wondering why it says "Windows" though… if it is bootable should not it be OS-agnostic?) I guess a bootable CD that would do a BIOS update is indeed what I need. This approach will be simpler for any other ISO image like Ubuntu or CentOS, so there’s a separate Steps 3-5 for them at the end of the post. On the Lenovo website, I am offered this:īIOS Update Bootable CD for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP – ThinkPad R500 Since it’s possible to boot and install Windows 10 from USB, that’s what I decided to do: download Window 10 ISO and burn it one of the USB sticks I have. I have installed Ubuntu on a Lenovo Thinkpad R500 2732, and I must update the BIOS.
