The process of creating a multiboot USB is simple with just three steps. Once completed, the data will be put into the MULTIBOOT folder on the USB drive, avoiding the phenomenon of having many files in the USB root directory causing the USB to become cluttered.

YUMI is an acronym for Your Universal Multiboot Installer , used to create Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing many programs running on Windows such as antivirus software, drive clone, diagnostic tools . For With MultiBootISOs used to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses Syslinux to boot extracted and distributed data stored on USB, then convert them to boot multiple ISO files from USB if needed. .

Step 1: Select the drive letter of your USB device

First, connect the USB drive to the computer and select the character name that appears in Windows Explorer for the USB drive. In addition, you can also tick the Format Dive (Erase Content) option to reformat the USB to FAT32, note that this process will lose all data contained on the USB.

Step 2 (Step 2: Select a Distribution from the following Box to put on your USB)

In the list that appears, choose for yourself a program or an operating system of your choice to put on USB. YUMI supports many Linux utilities and operating systems such as Fedora, Linux Mint, Open SuSe Live, Ubuntu, Debian Live, XBMC, YlmF OS; or operating system distributions reserved for Netbook platform (EasyPeasy, JoliCloud, Ubuntu Netbook remix, xPUD); antivirus tools to rescue computers (Acronis, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, Dr.Web Live, Kaspersky, Panda Safe CD), system software (Clonezilla, Easus Disk Copy, FreeDOS, GParted, Memtest86, Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, Ophcrack XP, Parted Magic, Partition Wizard, Trinity Rescue Kit, Ultimate BootCD, HirenBoot, .).

Especially, each program has a link to the homepage for you to download directly. You just need to check the option Download the iso (Optional) , click Yes when you see the message Launch the Download Link to get the link to directly download the file. Just copy this link that appears in the address bar of your browser to a file download accelerator like IDM, Flashget, etc.

Step 3: (Browse and select your ISO, ZIP)

Click the Browse button to browse to the path containing the ISO file or Zip files for your chosen program. Finally, press the Create button to create a multiboot USB disk. Note that you can only do one program or operating system at a time, but you can do so many times to integrate many programs into the USB drive as long as the space allows.

Especially, this program also allows you to create USB containing Windows Vista and Windows 7 installer (select Windows Vista / 7 Installer in step 2). However, if your USB contains an installation of another Linux operating system such as Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Fedora . then you must make a small adjustment. After completing the above three steps, the SOURCES folder will appear in the root of the USB drive where the Windows Vista / 7 installer will be. If you only want to install Windows Vista / 7, you keep the name of this folder, but if you want to use or install Linux versions, you must rename the SOURCES folder to SOURCESWIN. If you do not rename the directory, you will experience crashes when trying to access the Linux operating system.
