Hi there im trying to create a multiboot USB with YUMI and the i want one boot to be kali linux and the other windows7 to go

 

I can create a bootable iso for windows 10 and Kali Linux etc to the USB but when it comes to the Windows 7 ISO I keep getting problems.

 

I watched the console this time from start to end and realized it never installed successfully even though it said installation was completed. so basically this is the reason why it won't boot and I get the crash when booting to it.

 

I've tried another iso for windows 7 x64 but they were the same size in GB, I might try x32 windows 7 cause I know it works because I have windows 10 working through YUMI and I used windows to go basically means its set up and done the partitions etc for me.

 

And my purpose for all this is because my HDD doesn't work in my laptop and I want to try Kali Linux and windows on the one USB at the moment, I've Windows 10 and Kali Linux working fine on the USB at this moment but I want windows 7?

 

Also I've been checking if the multiboot is working on my main machine and it does on my main PC if I go to the Boot menu I see UEFI : San Disk 58GB I click on it to boot and it flashes black and returns me straight to the bios where the boot selection is then there's a boot called just San Disk 58GB and that's what works but I've to manually do it it doesn't come up in the autoboot selection in my UEFI bios ? if that makes sense ill include pictures if you don't understand what I am talking about when I go to my laptop the drive doesn't show completely but I believe the laptop is different it ain't like UEFI think its EFI has a boot option called EFI Shell ? and when I boot into it its like a console I've no clue what this is .
