YUMI Multiboot USB Creator (Windows)YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer), is thesuccessor to MultibootISOs. It can be used to create aMultiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operatingsystems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools,and more. Contrary to MultiBootISO's which used grub toboot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses syslinux toboot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, andreverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB,if necessary.

Aside from a few distributions, all files are stored withinthe Multiboot folder, making for a nicely organizedMultiboot Drive that can still be used for other storagepurposes.

Creating a YUMI Multiboot MultiSystem BootableUSB Flash DriveYUMI works much like Universal USB Installer, except it can be used to install more than one distribution torun from your USB. Distributions can also be uninstalled using the same tool!

How to Create a MultiBoot USB Flash DriveRun* YUMI-0.1.0.5.exe following the onscreen instructions1.Run the tool again to Add More ISOs/Distributions to your Drive2.Restart your PC setting it to boot from the USB device3.Select a distribution to Boot from the Menu and enjoy!4.

That's all there is to it. You should now be booting your favorite distributions from your custom Multi-Boot USBdevice!

How It Works: YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) enables each user to create their own customMultiboot UFD containing only the distributions they want, in the order by which they are installed. A newdistribution can be added to the UFD each time the tool is run.

If you run YUMI from the same location you store ISO files, they should be auto-detected (*See Known IssuesBelow), eliminating the need to browse for each ISO.

Other Notes: If MultibootISOs was previously used, you must reformat the drive and start over. YUMI usesSyslinux directly, and chainloads to grub only if necessary, so it is not compatible with the older Multiboot ISOtool. Although I do plan to add back most of the capabilities of MultibootISOs as time permits.

The distro uninstaller works great, but unlisted ISO's that have been added must currently be manually removed!Also note that not all Unlisted ISO's can be booted (thus adding unlisted ISO's is an unsupported option).

Known Issues, Troubleshooting, and Additional Help

If you encounter a message stating

Insane primary (MBR) partition. Cant find myself on the drive I booted from

First, replace your chain.c32 file located at multiboot/chain.c32 with (you'll need to unzip the file) -> This zippedchain.c32 File

If replacing the chain.c32 file does not fix the problem, your USB drive may be improperly formatted, containsmore than one partition or MBR, or your BIOS is not properly detecting the USB drive and it's firmware needsto be updated. You can try these methods to Format and Restore your USB Drive

My PC wont Boot from my Flash Drive, but supports USB boot!

Many Flash Drives ship USB-FDD formatted and some systems will not detect or even boot USB-FDD. I havefound that most systems can however boot USB-ZIP, and or USB-HDD. If you are having a hard time gettingyour BIOS to detect your flash drive, you can try to format it as USB-HDD or USB-ZIP using BOOTICE (GETIT HERE), and then proceed to use YUMI to put your chosen Distributions on USB.

How to force a rebuild of the Syslinux MBR:

This is useful if your YUMI prepared USB drive is somehow no longer bootable.Simply delete the hidden ldlinux.sys file from the multiboot folder, and use YUMI to install any menu item.YUMI will notice that the ldlinux.sys file is missing and will attempt to repair it.

Other Known Issues:

I cannot find a way to support OpenSUSE 12.2, or OpenSUSE 12.3 via the traditional method, as the KIWIMBRID boot option is currently broken.

However, if you already have OpenSuse 12.1 installed, you can copy the "openSUSE-12.2-livecd-gnome-read-only.i686-2.8.0" file from the 12.2 ISO to your /multiboot/opensuse12/ directory. Then delete the old fileand rename the "openSUSE-12.2-livecd-gnome-read-only.i686-2.8.0" file "openSUSE-12.1-livecd-gnome-read-only.i686-2.8.0", and YUMI will boot into openSUSE 12.2.

Windows Vista/7 Installer, Hiren's Boot CD, Trinity Rescue Kit, OpenSUSE, Backtrack, Avira Antivir, andDr.Web Live CD files are stored outside of the multiboot folder. Most other distribution files remain contained

within the multiboot folder. I am open to a simple working solution!

Since version 0.0.7.6, YUMI supports Windows XP Install from USB via ISO.The Windows XP Installation from USB option currently works by booting directly from your XP ISO, hencethe YUMI menu entry is created under "Directly Bootable ISOs". In order for the Windows XP installation tosucceed, you must perform the following steps;1.) To begin an install, select (Stage 1)2.) Upon first reboot, you must select (Stage 2)3.) Finally, after (Stage 2) is complete upon the second reboot, select (Stage 3) to boot the drive where youinstalled Windows XP. If this option fails, simply remove the USB and reboot!

When using the "Try an Unlisted ISO option", the ISO file name must contain no spaces.

* YUMI does support NTFS, however not all distributions will boot from an NTFS formatted device.

* When installing Windows 8, 7, or Vista from USB, you must unplug the USB device before the first restart,otherwise you will receive an error stating:

"windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"

Troubleshooting Boot Errors:

While trying to run an ISO from USB, If you get a Boot error saying:

Error 60: File for drive emulation must be in one contiguous disk area

You'll need to defragment your ISO using one of the following tools:

contig Command line tool to defragment ISO files.

wincontig GUI tool to defragment ISO files.

Additional Notes:Edit non-booting menu entries for the ISO's you have added via the "Try and Unlisted ISO" option, by editingthe corresponding entry in \multiboot\menu\menu.lst

If you don't have a floppy drive and get fd0 errors while booting, simply add floppy.allowed_drive_mask=0 tothe append line for the troubled entry. Although the best fix is to simply disable floppy in BIOS.

Persistently Saving Changes: Persistence can easily be added to one Ubuntu based distribution by performingthe following steps:

TAKE NOTE: * Persistence will NOT work on NTFS formatted USB drives. Some Distributions also will notboot via NTFS, Yet!

(1.) Use PDL Casper-RW creator to create a casper-rw file at the root of your USB; (example: F:/casper-rw).

(2.) Use notepad or another text editor to open the .cfg file found in the /multiboot/menu directory thatcorresponds to the distribution you want to add persistence to; (example F:/multiboot/menu/ub1204.cfg forUbuntu 12.04 on drive F).

(3.) Add the word persistent to the end of each append line; (the line that starts with the word append).

Persistence Feature Notes: Only one distribution can use persistence per drive. Do not try to enable persistencefor more than one Ubuntu based distribution, or you will break your persistence option entirely.

Ophcrack Tables: To load Ophcrack tables when booted in this fashion, the tables folder does need to exist atthe root directory of the USB device; (example F:\tables\vista_free). Get Ophcrack Tables from the OfficialOphcrack site and unzip to your USB. You can have both XP and Vista/7 tables working together.
