The newer Thinkpad E330 BIOS Flash ISOs have a damaged bootsector (contains BOOTLDR instead of DOS Bootloader) and also have either no IBM DOS fiels at all or have them in the wrong place (need to be File 1 and 2 in the FAT so that the bootloader finds them).

So as IBM messed up badly here, added a function that takes a sane older BIOS ISO and then incorporates the new patched BIOS into it in order to get a bootable ISO for E330 flashing.
