Checklist

  • I looked at https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ to see if my question has already been answered.
  • I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.
  • I clicked the 'Log' button (🗒️) or pressed Ctrl-L in Rufus, or used DebugView, and copy/pasted the log into the section that says <FULL LOG> below.
  • The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line Rufus version: x.y.z - I have NOT removed any part of it.

Additionally (if applicable):

  • I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
  • I also tried one or more of the following:
    • Using a different USB drive.
    • Plugging the USB into a different port.
    • Running Rufus on a different computer.
  • If using an image, I clicked on the (✓) button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.

Issue description

I create a custom bootable UEFI ISO, based on Ubuntu manual.

I created a efiboot.img file with FAT12 & name EFI for GRUB booting.

This volume contains usual EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi:

image content

image content (7zip)

Zipped img file is also provided (GitHub blocks attaching pure .img files):
efiboot.img.zip

Rufus doesn't detect .iso with this file .img file as bootable:

rufus-error

The bug is reproducable on the Rufus 4.1 & manual build for 64e85ed commit (latest for now) too.

ISO is so big to provide it here.

P.S. If I flash my ISO in dd mode - my PC can boot from it.
