Mar 18, 2018 Why instead of writing 'Clover EFI bootloader 3602' (I'm talking for the title) make it 'Clover EFI bootloader, official latest stable release'? First, check if the file ' EFI BOOT BOOTX64.EFI' is in your ISO (or inside.imgPTN file). If it is not present then it will not UEFI-boot from a USB drive and we need to obtain the file and add it to our.imgPTN file. Boot iso file through uEFI by calling EFI executable inside the iso. The linux kernel is an EFI-executable - you don't need a bootloader, because the firmware can exec your kernel. And the kernel's first root file system is mounted from the initramfs image. It's next is the.sfs archive. That's how it works.

I have a Windows 8 To Go Entreprise HDD, which boots both on BIOS and UEFI systems (I'm wondering how that's done, because I need that too).
Now, I see the HDD I use for that windows is an MBR HDD, it consist of a 350 MB FAT32 partition which holds the booting file to boot the second, NTFS partition which contains thw Windows 8 To Go operating system.
on the second partition I have placed a few ISO files under partition2ISO.
for example:
Win8Install.ISOWin7Install.ISOHirenBootCD.ISO
when booting from BIOS into the system, and using EasyBCD to create startup entries for the ISO's, the ISO's boot fine, from BIOS.
But when going into UEFI another BCD table is used, so I re-added the ISO's to the UEFI selection, but when selecting the ISO boot created by EasyBCD on the UEFI boot selection, I get the following error:
How do I make UEFI boot ISO files or FAT32 partitions with grub4dos installed? They work fine on BIOS boot.
Seems windows To Go can boot from BOTH BIOS AND UEFI, on an MBR(!! [I have read UEFI can only boot from GPT, lies, lies everywhere]) disk. So this should be possible, please help me.

Error 0xc000007b may relate to mismatch between 32- and 64-bit, so may be caused by 32-bit grub4dos trying to boot a 64-bit OS.The grub4dos latest release dates from 2009 and knows nothing about UEFI,so shouldn't be used.
You should probably start from scratch and use the tool UEFI MULTI.
The purpose of this tool is described as :
Tool to format USB-stick for Booting with Boot Manager Menu on BIOS or UEFI computer and Tool to make USB-Stick having two partitions - FAT32 Boot partition for WIM or ISO and NTFS System partition for VHD. Option to Install Grub4dos in MBR BootCode, which allows BIOS computer to boot directly from USB with Grub4dos Menu. Option to make Boot Manager and Grub4dos Menu on UFD to boot UEFI + BIOS directly from USB with Boot Manager Menu.

This link describes the procedure of how to create the USB disk.
The procedure is much too long to reproduce here.
Although this tool claims it can do what you want,I have no personal experience with it.
As regarding your question about how can one disk work for both BIOS and UEFI,this magic is probably achieved by using a Hybrid MBR,which is a format of the disk that looks as if it is both MBR and GPT.This is possible since GPT by design does not use the disk boot sector used by MBR.The size of a Hybrid MBR disk is limited to 2 TB, the maximum size of an MBR disk.
