How does one build a Windows NT 6.0 Repair/Recovery flash chip in LinUX?
I have an emachines®/acer® EL1210-09 (DAO78L planar: Advance Micro Devices Athlon LE-1620 (P/N AD1620IAS5DH); nVIDIA nForce 780a SLI with planar C77 GPU by-passed) with a buggy FADT and some other problems that the Kernel discovers consistently on startup (e.g. "AE_NOT_FOUND, While resolving a named Package Element"). The BIOS as of 22 July 2021 is Phoenix Award WorkstationBIOS R01.A0 (original to the machine); I downloaded a WorkstationBIOS R01.A3 as a ZIP and extracted it to an NTFS partition on a USB chip (as E:\Win R01A3.exe) on my ASUS® CM1630-06, only to discover that it will not work in Microsoft® Windows® Preinstallation Environment™ 10.0.19041.1. From a 2008 date of publication, I am estimating that I need Win 6.0.6000; my original hard drive (a 2008-vintage HGST DeskStar with Vista Home Premium preinstalled) SNAFU'd in 2010 and the EL1210 now has ubuntu® 20.04.2-LTS on a retrofit 2.5" Western Digital. Nobody in my house runs Win 6.x any longer. What is necessary for a Win 6.0 recovery environment on either compact-flash (I have a DURACELL® 16GB Ultra DMA available for partitioning) or USB memory chip (I have two SanDisk® Cruzers™ available)?

nVIDIA® nForce® chipsets require discrete GPU's up to Pascal and appropriate nVIDIA Kernel modules.
Most intel® ExpressSets™ and AMD® RS-Series are fully supported in open source.
