multiboot OS USB

Go to solution Solved by Molesy,

I just found this one https://www.aioboot.com/en/ 

 

works really well and can customise is a fair bit. 

Hey guys,

 

So i am trying to create a multi OS USB with Win 7 Pro  / 8.1 Pro and win 10 Pro  I have a 32Gb USB 3.0 flash drive and i am using the winsetupfromUSB tool http://www.winsetupfromusb.com/downloads/  

 

I have added all my ISO files to the USB and i can boot into each ISO image in LEGACY mode with any issue. but if i try to boot into the USB as a UEFI mode i get the error 0x000000f

 

Now when i recreate the USB without the win7 ISO I am able to boot into UEFI mode and all works. I can see the Win7 ISO that i have is EFI capable but multi OS USB then fails at UEFI.

 

Any ideas on what i could change to allow boot into both LEGACY and UEFI while having all my ISO files ?

Windows 7 has very limited UEFI boot support and the installation disc is actually missing a boot file. It is possible to install 7 in UEFI mode but it requires extracting files from the Windows image and inserting them into the boot folder.

 

See this guide though I'm not sure if it will play nicely with your multi os drive.

Yea. I was wanting to have all my ISO in one USB and use LEGACY mode to boot into the win 7 and UEFI for the other OS. but when i go to UEFI it looks like it sees the win 7 and then errors out. I found that putting the UEFI ISO first and then the win 7 ISO might be a soloution. will try Yumi as well to see how that wroks
