How to create multiboot dvd?


Iznogoud

Recommended Posts

I have a lot bootable iso files (Acronis, Symantec....), and i want to create one dvd with all iso files with menu to select which iso i want to boot.

I tried XBOOT but it is no longer developing. Is there some other good and simple alternatives?

Thanks!

i don't know about multiboot DVD, Why you don't use Multiboot USB ? maybe you can try YUMI ?

I want DVD. Can I create multiboot usb and then to make iso from it, and burn on DVD? Is this will work?

Tested SARDU and don't like it, other two are too complicated for my needs.

@knowledge

I tried this tutorial with EasyBoot, but I had problem with acronis iso files (I have 4 iso files with acronis products, and all have folder with the same name, this tutorial don't explain how to fix that problem. )

XBOOT is great tool, but not developed anymore, so some iso's don't works.

Thanks for your effort. :)

I'm currently building a 32big multiboot stick for my own purposes, which will have the following on it :-

1 - Windows 7 x 86 [5 in 1] Installer (March 2015)

2 - Windows 7 x 64 ]5 in 1] Installer (March 2015)

3 - Windows 8.1 x 64 [Multi Installer] (March 2015)

4 - Hirens BootCd 15.1 Restored Edition (fully functional)

5 - Snappy Drivers (v197)

6 - GeGeek TechToolkit

7 - Standalone .net 4.5.2 installers.

I found it easiest, to grab Winsetupfromusb :- http://www.winsetupfromusb.com/downloads/

Then follow this guide :- http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-use-winsetupfromusb-to-create-multiboot-windows-usb/

From them two links you can build yourself any mutliboot combination you like.

The only way I can think of is to build your multiboot usb, test it, then image that usb using ghost or something similar, but it will need to be GRUB2 I expect for best compatability, THEN burn that ISO to DVD, if that don't work, I would presume no.

Also, rather than burn the ISO to a real dvd use an app called MobaliveCD :- http://www.mobatek.net/labs_mobalivecd.html, you can mount the iso using ultraiso or similar virtual emulation app, and then test your ISO to see if it boots, saves wasting a DVD.

No worries, you may need to ensure you also have an autorun.inf file setup.

In theory it should work, as you're only reversing what you would do to put an ISO to USB, but it's not something I've done, let me know if you get it working.

Dodel.
