If you remove the .exe file from the USB device and test, what happens then?

Hi NiKiZe,

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I did not respond sooner, I got busy with some other tasks in the past week. So in coming back to this, here is what I am seeing:

If I use this to boot from iPXE in my menu.ipxe then I just get a black screen after it loads. It also will respond to control alt delete and reboot, so it is not frozen per say:

:LENOVO
echo Booting ThinkPad Drive Erase for ${initiator-iqn}
set root-path ${base-iscsi}:${hostname}.boot.freedos
set base-url http://myserver/techtools/Both/ThinkPadDriveErase
imgfetch ${base-url}/BootX64.efi
boot BootX64.efi || goto failed
goto start

If I take the exe off of the USB it also loads, so this suggests everything should be within the BootX64.efi file. It sounds like I just need some help figuring out how to load this particular EFI file I am guessing.

The structure on the USB is: /EFI/Boot/BootX64.efi
It is FAT32 formatted

I've tried using initrd instead of imgfetch or kernel and so far no luck. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance!
