Running Lenovo SSD Erase utility from multi-boot USB Flash Drive

Hi.

This is a layout of my USB Flash Drive:

/dev/sda
├── /dev/sda1 (BIOS boot)
├── /dev/sda2 (EFI system)
│   └── EFI
│       └── BOOT
│           └── BOOTX64.EFI
├── /dev/sda3 (Linux filesystem)
│   ├── data/
│   ├── grub/
│       ├── fonts/
│       ├── themes/
│       ├── i386-pc/
│       ├── x86_64-efi/
│       ├── grub.cfg
│       └── grubenv
│   ├── iso/
│       ├── 83FD05WW/
│           ├── BootX64.efi
│           └── DrvErase.exe
│       ├── archlinux-2019.10.01-x86_64.iso
│       ├── kali-linux-2019.3-i386.iso
│       └── ubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso

When I wanna boot DrvErase.exe, I have to copy content of 83FD05WW/ into EFI/BOOT/.

Can I somehow run the erase utility from GRUB menu like my other systems?

it's better to run EFI application from motherboard boot manager. however you can still add boot entry for grub, take a look how memtest86-efi does that
