<p><font size="4">Thanks Rich,</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Knowing that there is often more than one way to
skin a cat I decided to abandon booting from ISO file and pursue
learning how to make the virtual machine boot from a USB drive.
Moving forward booting from ISO is becoming obsolete in favor of
booting from USB. Software programs like VMware and VirtualBox
just need to catch up. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">What I did inside VMware was create a virtual SCSI
controller and link the physical USB drive to SCSI disk 0 and
the new virtual disk drive where the operating system was going
to be installed to SCSI disk 1. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">When the VM powers on, it automatically looks to
SCSI drive 0 for booting which in this case launched the
installation of the modifier installer of windows 11!! <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">After Windows was installed I removed the USB on
SCSI 0 which shifted the Windows drive to SCSI 0.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Windows 11 has no idea that it's installed on a
machine with no trusted platform module support. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">And, Windows update ran after installation was
complete. Everything downloaded/installed!</font></p>

<div dir="ltr">A very long time ago, I believe on Windows I used
daemon tools for this kind of thing. Later on, Poweriso. More
recently, xorriso in Linux to build a custom UEFI image or just
dd to create a straight image of USB media. It sounds to me like
you were able to build a bootable USB image that you just want
to convert to ISO, so perhaps dd would be sufficient here, so
long as you don't need to make other customizations.

<p><font size="4">I need to make a bootable ISO from a
series of files and folders that are over 5 gigabytes in
size. Larger than your standard CD or DVD. The regular
programs that I use like imgburn and anyburn claim to be
able to make a bootable ISO file and I'm even using the
dos 622 IMG file to make the file disk bootable
theoretically, only it doesn't work!</font></p>
<p><font size="4">What I did was run the Rufus program that
I ran this past Wednesday during a demo for you and now
that I have a proper USB flash drive I want to create an
ISO file for the purpose of creating a virtual machine
inside the VM Ware player application. VM Ware player
does not support booting from a USB flash drive although
it does support booting from an ISO file. VM Ware player
new virtual machine successfully boots the original
windows 11 ISO file only it doesn't boot off of the
modified ISO file.<br>

<p><font size="4">Does anybody have a small utility that's
free that can take a bunch of files/folders and convert
them into a bootable ISO?</font></p>
