Solved Can't get SeaTools Bootable to Boot.

@x BlueRobot Hi, yes, using their "SeaBoot_11-18-2019_RC5.usbBootMaker.exe" which the user glasskuter gave me a link for in a previous thread (theirs is the first reply of that thread). Thanks to advice earlier in this thread I've been able to at least start the programme, turning "Secure Boot" off in the BIOS was what was causing the initial hurdle. I've just made a new reply below and tagged the user Ghot in it, in which I explain the newest problem I'm facing with it...

@Ghot
So I've been able to come a little further with it. Yes, you were right about turning "Secure Boot" off.

Here's an imgur link which has a series of pictures of my screen as I move-through the boot-up sequence of the USB-Drive. Sorry that the images are not very clear, if you need me to I can re-format them to make them clearer and then re-post them.

Picture 1 shows my "Boot Configuration" screen in my BIOS. Note that I turned "Secure Boot" off after taking that picture.

Picture 3 (it should be the second in order, I know, sorry) shows the menu-screen I'm greeted with after booting up the USB-Drive.

Picture 2 (again, this should be the third in order, sorry) is what is presented to me if I choose the rightmost option of the menu seen in picture 3. The title of the option is something like "SeaGate Command-Line Tools".

Picures 4-7 show the sequence it presents to me if I choose either the leftmost option or the central option of the menu seen in picture 3--both of those two options seem to run exactly the same sequence. The title of the leftmost option is "Boot SeaTools X", and I think the title of the central option is just "Boot SeaTools". Pressing enter at picture 7 just adds a new line with the current time and date.

Picture 8 is what it shows when I use "Ctrl+Alt+Del" to shut the PC down when at the screen of picture 7.

Whoa thar Tex!

1. I've never used Seatools. I wouldn't know a Seatools problem.... if it came up and bit me in the arse.
2. I just wanted to point out what problems the "Revocations" caused with ANY bootable media.

Maybe... @zbook (who does use Seatools), could be of more help.
There are a few others... but I can't remember who they are.

Why you can't just post a link to the instructions you copied and pasted from and then ask the OP if they've read them? I have no clue.

Nothing to do with you, i do what i want mind your own business, i made modifications to instruction if you need to know.

@Ghot Ok, no problem, cheers.

I'm going to post this current part of the problem in the Virtualisation and WSA/WSL forum instead. Here's a link to it.
