Taviruni Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Just recently I found this excelent tool for creating multiboot USB devices, since then I'm using it with very good results, and I want to share it with all of you, this is the program page: https://www.aioboot.com/en/ Enjoy it.

Paft Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I use easy2boot. Which seems simpler to use once you know what to do (create a USB with a few clicks, drag ISOs into folders, defrag, done. I'll check it out on another USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taviruni Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 I have used E2B before, but I allways prefered to make my own multi-boot USBs myself using grub4dos as boot loader and my WinPE Isos, but this approach is not valid for Uefi (GPT partitioned) machines, Yes I know ImagePartition on E2B can boot on Uefi. AIO Boot uses Grub2 as boot loader and also Windows boot manager to boot WinPE(s) in the form of boot.wim(s), located each one on his own folder, It claims you can boot Uefi (GPT partitioned) machines directly, I haven't tested this as I enabled CSM and Legacy format/partition on all my PCs, It will be good if some of you can test this and let us know. Also has ImagePartition capavility. EDIT: One big advantage is using boot.wim files you do not need to worry to defragment them as it is required for Iso files, not so much if you use grub4dos 046A capable to read fragmented Isos, I have ran (file boot not Ram boot) Isos having 4 fragments using 046A.

SteveSi Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 FYI E2B can directly boot from bootable .iso, .wim and .vhd Windows files and they don't need to be defragmented. Just copy them to the E2B drive and boot. grub2 can legacy boot ISOs, but you have to know the special cheat codes and kernel parameters and these often change when a new version of a linux ISO is released. Also, you have to create a menu entry for each option (safe boot, memtest, languages, etc.) because it does not use the menu .cfg file that is inside the ISO. E2B uses the original menu which is inside the ISO so you get all menu entries. For UEFI, E2B uses .imgPTN files which I admit is clumsy to use as you have to 'switch' it in first, however it allows you to Secure UEFI boot to any UEFI payload and the USB drive is easy to maintain because you just add or delete .imgPTN files with no menu to edit. E2B does have a grub2 menu system for UEFI/Legacy using two partitions on a USB disk. If you use it you can add your own .grub2 menu files and E2B will add them automatically into it's own grub2 menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archanus Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I think that Rufus is a really nice USB ISO Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
