ah I thought I used the proper syntax. Initially I just run 
"syslinux64.exe" and see which options/parameters/syntax it presents, as 
it's easy enough to damage filesystems and software installations otherwise.

Thanks for confirming the NTFS usage, thought you might have used it on 
other filesystems instead and then saying 'it works just fine!'.
I'll look into things, maybe pre9 or so will do the trick.

To my knowledge it is/was a PERL script, I'm using some internet-found 
binary of isohybrid based on a PERL-to-EXE packer that combines script 
with the entire runtime/engine resulting in a 2.5MB binary.

The bad part is Windows has no equivalent functionality out of the box, 
maybe I should upgrade the OS's SSD sometime to allow Linux VMs.

Thanks for the feedback so far.
