I have downloaded OpenServer 5 from this link. I created a vm machine (Vmware workstation) and used this ISO file as CD-ROM image file(IDE). Everything works fine and the vm boots from CD-ROM normally and I can intall the OS, but when I try to write the ISO file as a bootable USB, my motherboards ( 2 different models ) don't recognized it as a bootable USB. I have used multiple programs to make the bootable USB like rufus and PowerISO with multiple different options with no success.

What is wrong here and what should I do?

    @roaima Because of an old graphical software developed in SCO Unix in 1990s. – BHP Oct 06 '22 at 18:47

    @MarcusMüller Because a giant German firm decided to develop an application in Openserver back in 1990s. – BHP Oct 06 '22 at 18:50
  • Rufus would be the way forward, or maybe syslinux – roaima Oct 06 '22 at 19:21
  • A search shown v5.0.6 had very limited USB support. And another search shows that you need a `UHCI` USBv1.x chip, but on my system at least, it only shows `OHCI` USBv1.1. I doubt you will get it to work with that release. – Bib Oct 07 '22 at 11:27
