    I've looked at it for weeks and not found it, maybe the laptop is just screwed!

    I think you don't understand what the site tells you to do...
    It tells you to create a boot efi folder so the EFI Firmware will recognize and attempt to boot from it.
    Basically no need to create a boot disk.
    Just a thumbdrive FAT formatted
