SUMMARY
Sometimes, the creation of a bootable CD or USB drive via DiskImage fails due to driver incompatibility.
SOLUTION

STEP 1: Creation of an ISO file using DiskImage
- Open DiskImage. Go to the Tools tab, then click on Create Bootable disk.
- Select which source you want to create the bootable CD from and click on Create.
NOTE: By default, it is on Windows Recovery environment. See Technical O&O Document: Create boot medium for more information.

- Once it is done, click on Finish and close DiskImage.
