I have a .bin file that I would like to convert to an iso to burn to a usb. The .bin file is clearly bootable; The output of
file os-image.bin
is
../os-image.bin: DOS/MBR boot sector
and I can boot it in qemu.
but when I convert it to iso:
genisoimage -o drip.iso os-image.bin
or bchunck or PowerISO or bin2iso
the output of the file command is:
drip.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM'
and rufus won't write it to usb, and qemu won't boot.
Also, when I write the bin to the usb with rufus, it won't boot on a regular computer.

So I have figured out the issue.
My image that I was using for writing wasn't for UEFI so it didn't want to boot on newer PCs.
