Downloads Tip: If you want the second partition on the E2B USB drive to remain accessible, use a file extension of .imgPTN23 to keep partitions 2 and 3 (if they exist). Note:
Partition Image files Use Partition Images for 100% UEFI Secure Boot compatibility (no shim or MOK Manager needed) and/or where container files such as ISOs, IMGs or VHDs do not work and a flat-file partition is needed. Example 1 – .imgPTN file Example 2 – .imgPTN23 file Example 3 – .imgPTN23 file + 2nd image
