Rufus should do okay with LibreELEC images. Otherwise try a previous release. It that works, updating LibreELEC is the next step.

Ive found the issue is with the age of the machine. Ive tried it on another device which has UEFI boot and then it works.
Is there a way around this?
The machine already has Openelec running if that helps

Check BIOS settings and ensure legacy boot options are enabled. Old machines often have issues with UEFI but we support both. NB: If the machine is running OE check the /flash partition size with "df -h" .. if it's an older OE install with ~230MB space you need to reinstall but if its a newer one with ~512MB in size (at least more than 300MB disk) you can "update" the existing OE install to LE by putting the LE .tar file into /storage/.update and rebooting. If you do this you need to SSH in and stop Kodi then rename /storage/.kodi out of the way so that you start with a clean Kodi instance and avoid add-on upgrade issues.

On my old HP laptop nothing worked until I turned on UEFI boot in the BIOS and then it worked fine.
