Reflect rescue CD won't boot
Yesterday, I used Macrium 7 to make the CD, with all defaults. I didn't touch the computer while it was burning. When it had stopped burning, I looked at it with Explorer and saw that under "Files ready to be written..." there was desktop.ini (which is still there since yesterday).
Presumably, it was too late anyway since you can't add any more files to a finished CD.
This seems to say it's irrelevant:
dvd burning - Why is desktop.ini "Ready to Be Written to the Disc" of any CD or DVD inserted under Windows 7? - Super User
D:\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi is present, which AFAIK is the essential file.
The behavior: Today, I set boot order to start with the CD. It made the CD noises, but instead of booting from the CD, I saw the "press any key to boot from CD" prompt. I did press a key, the CD went into full spinup but never booted. My Lenovo L340 then went into a normal Windows 10 bootup.
