Unable to boot from Memtest86 disc I just created. I downloaded the latest version Memtest86-7.2 from memtest86.com I downloaded the zipped folder and extracted it to my desktop. Right clicked on ISO and selected "Burn Disc Image" ISO burned successfully. I have windows 10 pro running a Intel DQ57TM motherboard with 4GB of RAM and an I5. I am set to legacy boot at the moment but it shows that there is no bootable media when selecting my disk drive from the boot menu. Any suggestions? Did I do something wrong? Thank you

Okay I changed the boot setting to UEFI and made sure the disk drive was the first priority although when booting it still gives me a single blinking line for some reason and then goes to the hard drive and boots to windows. Same results when pressing f10 for boot menu

I used memtest last week, but I used the tool that was extracted to make a bootable usb flash drive. It worked like a champ.

I am assuming you are trying to boot the MemTest86 from a DVD.
When you select the Boot device to be the DVD/CD Ddrive in the BIOS and reboot does the screen display a message
similar to "Press any key to boot from the DVD\CD"?
Is it an internal or external DVD/CD drive?
