USB Multiboot Game Changer

Post by Yottabytes »

Terabyte Unlimited makes a lot of great products that require bootdisks: Image for DOS, IFL, BootIt and a bunch of other knockoffs like WindowsRE. If you use multiple products and you also keep your Windows or Linux setup files on a removable USB drive, like I do, you are going to need a bunch of USB sticks or CDs to boot them. But if you follow this USB multiboot guide: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183739-202 ... -usb-guide you can do it all from one USB stick simply by dragging and dropping .ISOs onto your USB drive in order to create a multiboot USB. This is, indeed, a true game changer....

.ISO Emulation isn't anything new and fairly easy patching the BIOS interface, but once out of real-mode (out of talking to the BIOS) it may require hacks for OSes to boot which we don't want to deal with (can break with an OS update) or condone due to all the security issues nowadays, but if that is what you want or need, those options are certainly available as you mentioned.
