    Also try updating the Bios if you haven't yet.
    I was able to boot it successfully on Latitude E6410 to E6440 models as far as I recall.
    (Need to redo this with the current v6 build though)

    Are you using F12 for the boot menu?
    Make sure to select the UEFI entry.

    What model is your Dell Latitude? Does it support UEFI?

    We have seen a few older systems that cannot boot the older MemTest86 v4 that is included as dual boot in MemTest86 v6 images. In this case, the older (non-dual boot) MemTest86 v4 images should be used instead.

  • Invalid Partition Table when booting from USB flash drive

    I downloaded Memtest86 which came with ImageUSB. I ran ImageUSB and selected my removable flash drive and chose "Write to UFD". The image that was writing to the flash drive was the default memtest86-usb.img. That part of the process completed normally. I then rebooted the compuer and entered into the boot menu and selected USB drive and that is when I got the "Invalid Partition Table" message. I was under the impression that ImageUSB creates the boot partition on the flash drive. Is that not correct? Do I have to create a bootable partition on the drive before I run ImageUSB?

    I have since tried Zeroing the UFB using ImageUSB, formatting the flash drive with FAT32 and NTFS and nothing seems to work. I am doing this on a Dell Latitude laptop.
Working...
