Is there any software which can create a Multiboot DVD/USB? I've checked several softwares, like : -SARDU : Nice, but it still not support ISO(s) that aren't in the list and it doesn't has a feature to edit the Menu (GUI version) -Easy2Boot : It's a bit complicated. We have to manually edit the menu (which is very complicated for someone like me) -XBoot : No longer supported and only support AV Rescue CD and several Linux ISO -WinSetupFromUSB : Nice, but it doesn't has a feature to edit the Menu (GUI version) I've tried to search in this forum, but found nothing I hope someone know a software that can make a multiboot ISO/USB which can boot from "any Linux ISO", "any AV Rescue CD", "any Windows ISO", "any Utilities (like Hiren's BootCD)" and many others type of ISO + feature to edit the menus (with GUI version, not manual)
I have a multiboot USB drive with different ISO's on it. I have used Hirens boot CD as the base because it uses GRUB; with GRUB I can boot into ISO's without having them extracted (this includes linux, Windows OS, floppy images etc.), I'm able to make custom menus for all the utilities I could use, and once booted it gives a nice, simple GUI. The menus are easy to create as Hirens/GRUB uses a menu.lst file, and you can add your own entries and point them to ISO files, or anywhere else. I have a separate USB drive with Windows 7 on it as that is what most people prefer, however they can be put onto one USB, Its just my preference to have them separated. The GRUB menu entries can be somewhat difficult to work with, however when you get the hang of how it works, it can be pretty easy. Below is what my multiboot USB looks like. I need to add some more entries for other live AVs though. And here is what my menu.lst looks like: Code: splashimage /bootscreen.xpm.gz default /default title Boot from Hard Drive\n rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)+1 title Restart reboot title Shutdown halt title root title Hirens Boot CD 10.6 find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz kernel /HBCD/memdisk initrd /HBCD/boot.gz title root title Acronis True Image Home 2010 find --set-root /images/atih2010.iso map /images/atih2010.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title AVG 9 Live CD find --set-root /images/avg9.iso map /images/avg9.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title Avira Rescue CD 2 find --set-root /images/avira2.iso map /images/avira2.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title Easeus Partition Master Server Edition 5.8.1 find --set-root /images/easeuspmse5.iso map /images/easeuspmse5.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title F-Secure Rescue CD 3.11 find --set-root /images/fsecure311.iso map /images/fsecure311.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title Kaspersky 10 find --set-root /images/kaspersky.iso map /images/kaspersky.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title Parted Magic 4.11 find --set-root /images/pmagic-4.11.iso map /images/pmagic-4.11.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title Partition Wizard Home Edition 5 find --set-root /images/pwhe5.iso map /images/pwhe5.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title Redo Backup and Recovery find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /images/redobackup093.iso map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /images/redobackup093.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) boot title Sardu Rescue Disk find --set-root /images/sardu.iso map /images/sardu.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title Spotmau Boot Care 2010 map (hd0,0)/images/spotmau.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) boot title Ultimate Boot CD 5.0.1 map (hd0,0)/images/ubcd501.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) boot title Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Reset find --set-root /images/ontpar.iso map /images/ontpar.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader (hd32) boot title root title Linux Mint 9 find --set-root /images/linuxmint.iso map /images/linuxmint.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/mint.seed boot=casper persistent iso-scan/filename=/images/linuxmint.iso splash initrd /casper/initrd.lz title Puppy Linux 5.0.1 root (hd0,0) kernel /puppy/vmlinuz root=/dev/rd/0 pmedia=usbflash initrd /puppy/initrd.gz title Mini Windows XP\nRun Antivirus and other windows programs find --set-root /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN chainloader /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN title Mini Linux\nRecovery Is Possible Linux find --set-root /HBCD/riplinux.gz kernel /HBCD/linux xlogin keymap=us xkeymap=us root=/dev/ram0 rw vga=normal initrd /HBCD/riplinux.gz title root title Darik's Boot and Nuke\nHard Disk Eraser find --set-root /HBCD/dban.gz kernel /HBCD/memdisk initrd /HBCD/dban.gz title Kon-Boot\nWindows (any/blank password) and Linux (kon-usr) Login Without a Password find --set-root /HBCD/konboot.gz kernel /HBCD/memdisk initrd /HBCD/konboot.gz title Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer\nWindows Password Reset find --set-root /HBCD/chntpw.gz kernel /HBCD/linux vga=1 initrd /HBCD/chntpw.gz title Smart Boot Manager 3.7.1\n find --set-root /HBCD/smartbm.gz kernel /HBCD/memdisk initrd /HBCD/smartbm.gz title Windows Memory Diagnostic\n find --set-root /HBCD/memtest.gz kernel /HBCD/memdisk initrd /HBCD/memtest.gz title ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ root title ³ Boot from Hard Drive - Windows XP (NTLDR) ³\n find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr map () (hd0) map (hd0) () map --rehook find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr chainloader /ntldr savedefault --wait=2 title ³ Boot from Hard Drive - Windows Vista/7 (BOOTMGR) ³\n find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /bootmgr map () (hd0) map (hd0) () map --rehook find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /bootmgr chainloader /bootmgr savedefault --wait=2 title ³ Fix "NTLDR is Missing" ³\n find --set-root /HBCD/ntldr.gz kernel /HBCD/memdisk initrd /HBCD/ntldr.gz title ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ root title More... root title Dos Programs (Alternative Boot Method)\nUsing Grub4Dos map find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz map --mem /HBCD/boot.gz (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) map --floppies=1 boot title Linux Console\nRecovery Is Possible Linux find --set-root /HBCD/riplinux.gz kernel /HBCD/linux root=/dev/ram0 rw vga=normal initrd /HBCD/riplinux.gz title Chainload isolinux.bin\n find --set-root /HBCD/isolinux.bin chainloader /HBCD/isolinux.bin title ...Back root
With Easy2Boot, you don't need to work out what cheat codes, etc. are needed for linux ISOs. You just copy the linux ISOs to the Easy2Boot USB drive and boot. 99% of all linux livecd ISOs just work. Also Windows Install ISOs just work by copying them over too. Hirens will work fully if you extract the ISO and use a simple .mnu file or if you just use Hirens MiniXP then simply rename the Hirens ISO to have a .isowinvh file extension. You can even boot over a dozen linux ISOs with persistence from the same USb drive. The menu is fully configurable and there a dozens of fonts to choose from. Take a look.
try YUMI it support many ISO's and windows installers like xp- 7/8/vista i find it easy to use with simple UI + you can customize the UI
That would be difficult to do and take some considerable time. Have you actually tried using and configuring Easy2Boot and watched the videos?
I've watched the video and try it, maybe i'll try again once more. Thanks But, if you have times, please make the GUI version if you can
