Hiren's Boot CD with UEFI support?
Short answer: No; you cannot make Hiren's Boot CD EFI compatible.
Even when Hiren's uses Syslinux and it is true Syslinux 6.03 now supports UEFI (syslinux.efi) you will face at least 2 problems when upgrading your Hiren's CD to Syslinux 6.03:
syslinux.efi is not an UEFI signed application then forget about the SecureBoot scenario.
-
Syslinux.efi (as the rest of EFI boot managers) can only boot kernels that were built with certain EFI parameters turned "ON" i.e.
CONFIG_EFI=y CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y CONFIG_FB_EFI=y
Hiren's kernel is not built with those flags "ON" and you (surely) do not have the exact sources/config for re-building the kernel while adding the above mentioned missing EFI related parameters.
Have you tried via USB with rufus? Try Rufus USB. Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Handles UEFI as well as legacy booting
Important: Select "MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI computer"
