Hiren’s BootCD PE supports UEFI booting from DVD and USB flash drives. To format, re-partition your USB drive and to copy the ISO content into your USB drive properly, we have developed Hiren’s BootCD PE – ISO2USB portable tool. You need Administrator privileges to run it. It is free both for commercial and non-commercial use. Requires Windows 7 and later.
Please note that, all data and partitions on your USB flash drive will be lost. Before doing the steps below, don’t forget to backup the files on your USB flash drive:

Hiren’s BootCD PE — ISO2USB v1.0 (x86)
Choose Device and ISO
If the ISO file is located in same folder with the exe, then it will be automatically selected. Otherwise you can drag and drop the ISO file over the application window or you can select the ISO file manually.
Set Label and Process
The application will ask if you are sure to continue. Click Yes if you are sure to format your USB Flash Drive, lose the partitions and data in the drive. If you click Yes, the process will begin and then will be completed like below if there is no problem.
I am a long term user of Hiren’s Boot CD, but the CD does not support booting on UEFI/EFI/SecureBoot hardware, is there some kind of update/patch to apply to the cd image to be able to boot without BIOS? Can I make this myself? (By putting some files in the iso image?)
Edit: Running Hiren from USB on EFI counts too as an alternative.
To clarify before accepting an answer: I will test the solution on:
- A EFI computer (SecureBoot enabled)
- A EFI computer (SecureBoot disabled)
There are many suggestion to use tools which make an ISO bootable with UEFI on a flash disk, however it’s not that easy as you can only do that with UEFI-enabled ISO’s. By UEFI enabled ISO’s I mean that the ISO files contain a BOOTEFI directory with a EFI bootloader. Hiren does not have this so the tools will not work. This is why I am asking the question — is there any way to make ourselves / copy another bootloader into HIREN and make it work?

Short answer: No; you cannot make Hiren’s Boot CD EFI compatible.
Even when Hiren’s uses Syslinux and it is true Syslinux 6.03 now supports UEFI (syslinux.efi) you will face at least 2 problems when upgrading your Hiren’s CD to Syslinux 6.03:
syslinux.efi is not an UEFI signed application then forget about the SecureBoot scenario.
Syslinux.efi (as the rest of EFI boot managers) can only boot kernels that were built with certain EFI parameters turned «ON» i.e.
Hiren’s kernel is not built with those flags «ON» and you (surely) do not have the exact sources/config for re-building the kernel while adding the above mentioned missing EFI related parameters.
Have you tried via USB with rufus? Try Rufus USB. Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Handles UEFI as well as legacy booting
Important: Select «MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI computer»
I could successfully manage that by doing 2 things:
- Disable UEFI boot
- Enable the «Launch CSM» option
Then, in the boot order list, I got a new option for USB boot, without «UEFI» written on it. Put that one in the first place and your Hiren’s USB stick should now boot up!
It boots on my new system and works on all the computers I get in for repairs. If you are looking for a read only copy (CD/DVD), there are tools that can make a EUFI bootable CD and then copy the files over. but that probably won’t work for you.
because, what I usually find (and why I use the USB) is that many systems come with the boot-to-optical drive disabled. Especially if this is an OEM computer. some Toshiba’s dont’ even give the option to change that in the bios. The OEM Windows has to be booted, and the drive order enabled and changed from there! That presents a mess of catch-22.
The systems are designed to be reverse compatible with old boot disks, which makes «converting the Cd to EUFI» irrelevant. Its that «legacy optical boot» being automatically disabled is what is probably causing your problems.
So what you are most likely looking for is enabling the system to boot from a legacy optical drive which may not be an option from the bios. 🙁
One fallback/test option is to remove all the other drives from the system, and see if the bios/boot falls back to a optical drive boot when no other devices are found. That will tell you if its the CD or BIOS.

This video demonstrates how to make a USB Flash Drive or USB Hard Disk to store multiple ISOs and images.
You can boot from the USB drive in normal BIOS MBR mode and then use Clover to boot from the 32 and 64-bit EFI files in UEFI mode without needing to reboot the system.
You can have multiple images and ISO files on your USB drive (e.g. multiple HP Utilities, Windows Installers, Linux Live ISOs, KonBoot, etc,).
When you make the E2B USB drive, you can choose FAT32 or NTFS — either will work with .imgPTN files and UEFI booting.
When you make the .imgPTN files from your payload files, choose FAT32 if you want UEFI-booting to work.

Tip: If you boot from the USB drive using the QEMU emulator in RMPrepUSB, you can switch to one of the images before you connect the USB drive to a UEFI system (this saves having to configure the target system for CSM boot first).
