Hi All,
Would you guys please fix this for me. I am coming across a not inconsiderable number of new computers that have "legacy" boot mode locked out. Plus it would be nice to be able to boot an Apple.
# livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi --delete-home \ --home-size-mb 4095 --overlay-size-mb 4095 --unencrypted-home \ Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso /dev/sdc
No BOOT*.efi found in eltorito image. EFI will not boot
Many thanks, -T

Is that the error it gives you?
Can you try doing a 'dd if=Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso of=/dev/sdc' and see if that works?

Hi Kevin,
That is the error when you run the above script, not the error when you boot.
"dd" works perfectly when you boot from a "legacy" BIOS. I haven't tried it on a UEFI bios yet. I have a shot at a customer's A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G, please only boot Windows, UEFI this afternoon. I will give it a test.
I would love it if there was a way to dual boot legacy and UEFI.

Hi Kevin,
I tested in a customer's machine, which was $400 HP Desktop with an inline power supply, without an internal power supply (Desktop, not laptop). This el-cheap-o has the worst, "how dare you boot anything other than Windows" UEFI BIOS from h*** I have come across.
Setting the first boot device to the stick failed. But, using the f key boot over ride worked.
So the problem here is "livecd-iso-to-disk", again. Man, that thing has more bugs ...
Thank you for the help with this, -T
FWIW, I've been able to boot a Fedora LiveUSB on Apple hardware (Macbook Air from 2015, Pro from 2013) using just the `dd` method. I haven't tried `livecd-iso-to-disk` though.

Hi Noah,
Thank you for the feedback!
Did you have to go into the Apple UEFI bios and tell it to boot off the flash drive first, or was everything automatic?
Many thanks, -T
Everything was pretty automatic. On a Macbook you just hold down Option during power-on to get the Apple boot menu, and the Fedora LiveUSB showed up as an option.
Installation was smooth too (if you let Fedora make the automatic partition layout, it knows to set up an EFI bootloader at /boot/efi and registers itself with the Apple boot menu, so Fedora shows up as an option alongside OS X when you do the Option key on boot, and it has an entry in OS X's "Startup Disk" settings), so using rEFIt etc. to simulate a legacy BIOS isn't necessary.

After Nux helped me to upgrade to the latest livecd-tools, this cleared up. (I haven't verified that it works in a UEFI machine yet).
Thanks to everyone for their help!

Feedback:
The --efi option is not need when using a live ISO that has it in it.
My current favorite ISO is Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso which does boot from UEFI.
And, the full install of the above to a flash drive also will boot from UEFI. I find that holding down the "esc" key at boot will get your the boot over ride on "some" computers.
Also, it boots from Apple MAC's if you hold down the "option" key (not the flower key) when it is booting. This will give you the choice of what boot device. (Thank you Noah!).
