Boot from Iso Using Easybcd

I am trying to use EasyBCD to boot from an ISO file without any discs or sticks and I get this error..

/init: line 49: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found

Do you have any ideas?

  • OS: windows 10 ver 2004
  • ISO: ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso
  • downloaded from ubuntu.com and verified. works fine on VirtualBox and USB sticks.

/dev/sr0 normally points to the CD drive, and Ubuntu mounts it to use some data that is stored on the boot ISO. When you add a new entry with EasyBCD and boot it, Windows directly loads the file (which means that the CD drive is empty), which means that Ubuntu can't find the data and thus fails to load.
