1) MultiBoot USB Creation:
Here i am giving the link of a multifunctional(Multiboot) Bootable USB Creating tool.
With this tool we can make bootable USB of Windows 2000/XP/2003,
Windows Vista/7/8/Server 2008/RecoveryISO or any Linux Distro, or any other
ISO e.g. Hiren's BCD.
It’s the only one that works in any computer i tried, from old laptops to modern UEFI systems
It gives many functions to format USB as you desire, or to create partition into
USB.
there is lot of functions in this tools as:Bootice, Speed Test, FBInsy Tool,
grub4dos, create syslinux/Ext2F5,BartPE etc.
With this tool created Bootable USB can be tested under QEMU MODe (the built-in virtual environment tool).
it is tested on these operating systems by me, working well.
OS: Windows XP, Vista(x32/x64), 7(x32/x64), 8(x32/x64)

yes it can. using this i have many times created single USB of Windows XP/7 & Hiren's BCD.
Do you know if it works with Linux?
A very useful tool.
YUMI â€" Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/)
For multyboot CD/DVD/USB I had use Grub4DOS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos/). It works fine with Linux.
Thank you, comrade Usman, now we will know about althernative software.ank you
Jastreb, thank you also, I heared about YUMI before. BTW, are you from slavic countries? I see a cyrillic in your subscribe. Are you from south-eastern Europe? (Romania, Bulgaria, or Makedonia?)

however it can make bootable USB of Linux Distros under windows environment.

I prefer using the USB installation for many reasons which include the USB installation is quicker and I can erase the USB (at will) and use it as normal after the installation. Unlike the CD/DVD they're small enough to carry around all day (if you want to do that, not judging). What do you guys think? Do you still go with the standard CD/DVD installation or have you moved up to the USB installations for Windows?
Windows installation from USB is more faster than DVD.
Indeed, installing windows via usb is the best choice. 3 years since my dvd driver is dead on this laptop, for me its not even a choice.
For testing purposes I had given a link to harkaz which can be useful to test the installation of windows on vmware using a usb key. to check data integrity it can be a simple way.

When it comes to creating bootable USB flashdrives from bootable ISO files, one problem I keep crashing into is that you must always look for a program that will support the specific ISO you're trying to boot from USB. As far as I know there is no program similar to what CD burning programs can do, i.e., make a bootable CD from an ISO regardless of what the file is about. For that reason I've downloaded every USB boot program imaginable and use them as needed.
If I run into an ISO which isn't clearly supported by any of these programs, I use either grubdos or syslinux which I install with Xboot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess eventually some solution will be found. It's no secret that CD's and DVD's will go the way of the floppy disk in a few more years. The Asus Q200E I bought for my girlfriend doesn't have one, as well as many of the newer laptops.

Yes, I'm basically familiar with those linked programs you mentioned. There are indeed tons of USB bootup programs available. The sad part is that the program has to support the live CD you're trying to create. This contrasts sharply with burning to a CD or DVD - just about any burning program can create a live CD regardless of what it is.
I often wonder if we'll ever see the say when somebody will write a bootable USB creation program that supports everything seamlessly the same way CD/DVD burners do.
i agree with you, i tried many programs, but i find only this good, so i posted here.
i think you never checked this, it have many functions which many other don't had.

Of those you put links for, which one did you say you liked best? As I see it, it all boils down to whether or not the program supports that ISO. It's irritating every time you download a live CD you have to search for some USB boot program that supports it. The soon to be extinct CD's or DVD's don't have this problem.
Update: Latest version links added.
For me SARDU works. I'm glad it works on Windows & Linux.

I'll see the SARDU later in few days, now loged in from fone.
Long time ago I downloaded it, but can't used this. I was unable to understand it.
I took a look at Sardu. I guess it's basically like all the others, i.e., it creates bootable USB drives only from those ISO's it supports. The best I've seen yet is Xboot. If it doesn't support the ISO you want to boot from USB, it gives you the option of installing grub or syslinux and running a test. It is the ONLY one so far that has allowed me to boot my cracked copy of Acronis rescue disk from USB, and this together with a few other ISO's in multiboot.
Here's something really weird. I tried to make a bootable USB with my copy of Acronis with Universal USB installer. When I booted up, Acronis kept nagging me about the copy not being official. How it it Universal USB installer altered my copy to somehow remove the crack? Fortunately Xboot solved the problem.
On more than one occasion I've had to make a bootable USB of Windows 8.1 x64 in order to reset or reinstall. In my tests the only one that actually works is Microsoft's Windows7-USB/DVD tool. About 3 or 4 others I tried did not work despite the fact that Windows 8 is listed as a supported ISO.

You're still using XP? Are you stuck with an ancient computer that won't run at least Windows 7 32 bit? This is the only valid reason anyone should continue with XP.
Version updated to the latest.
When it comes to USB multiboot programs, so far the best I've found is Xboot. I have a multiboot USB drive that has Acronis True Image, Parted Magic, Ultimate Boot CD and Hirens. I could not get all these to work with Yumi, but Xboot did work. Still it's not perfect, I tried to add Strelec's Windows 10PE to the mix but I would not boot. I added Hirens only because there was space left over on the USB stick. It hasn't been updated and it's all but useless. Who know, maybe some day somebody will ask me to troubleshoot an old computer.

I refuse to believe you're using HBCD (Hirens) on your new lappie. HBCD is very obsolete and, as far as I know, hasn't been updated. Besides, Strelec is infinitely better and works great on newer computers.

HBCD doesn't work on Skylake and above. Try unlisted ISO option using SYSLINUX in YUMI 2.0.4. Workaround after booting successfully is mount Strelec ISO from ISO folder every time for it to work. Try this.
Ubuntu 16.04 detects Optimus based PCs and switches to Intel iGPU during installing. BTW, I'm running on 4.13 kernel via Syanptic pkg manager. 4.13 is available to Ubuntu 16 for day to day usage. Battery life life on Skylake is consistent upto 7-8 hrs on iGPU and 2-3 hrs on dGPU 980M(drivers aren't mature even though its nvidia proprietary driver)

I'm not too clear what you're trying to explain, so let me ask you some questions:
What is the problem with Yumi and why do you prefer old versions? My complaint about Yumi is that one time I used it to boot Acronis ISO and it gave me this "trial version" garbage despite this being an official cracked version that works perfectly on Xboot. Did it call home to check or what?
Mount Strelec? I don't follow you. Sure, you can mount the ISO but that doesn't do anything. You have to boot from Strelec.
Every time I try to boot a live CD from any distro of Linux, even Parted Magic, it goes into a bootloop. This is a video card issue, due [I believe] to the fact that Nvidia refuses to provide basic drivers for their cards. To boot up you have to hit the Tab key. When you see boot parameters, add "nouveau.modeset=0" and it'll boot up in straight VGA (low resolution). It wasn't always this way, years ago there was never a problem. Do you know of a solution other than buying another video card?

I disable secure boot and enable CSM (support for "legacy" devices). Secure boot is unnecessary unless you're in a situation where many people touch your computer.

What distro do you have. Of all the ones I've tried, in my opinion none is better than Mint. Using "nomodeset" as a bootup parameter is necessary for installation and initial bootup. After you install Nvidia drivers then you're in business. I've had the nomodeset problem with all distros of Linux, probably because Nvidia refuses to release any of its proprietary code.

I don't think we're on the same page. Every time I try to boot anything Linux from any media, it goes into a bootloop. I googled around and found out that this is a video card issue. It seems Nvidia insists even its most generic drivers will be proprietary and are therefore not included in the Linux ISO. When it attempts to load a video driver the whole thing crashes. To make it boot you have to hit the Tab key to get the bootup parameters. At the end you type "nouveau.nomodeset=0" or just "nomodeset" followed by Ctrl-X and Enter. The OS now boots with just plain VGA. Once you install once again you have to do the same thing to start your new OS. Now you can go in and manually install Nvidia drivers. This cures the problem permanently.

This is a Core i7-4790K. Video card is a GTX-970 with a GM-204 CPU (according to Aida64). I just ran a test with Parted Magic, which is based on Linux. Once again same problem - if left to its own devices it'll crash on bootup. The only remedy is to hit Tab on bootup and insert "nomodeset" (followed by Ctrl-X) as an additional bootup parameter. Then it'll boot with straight VGA, i.e., no video driver at all. This happens with anything Linux. The only solution is to bootup with nomodeset after installation and use apt-get to install Nvidia drivers. After they're installed the problem disappears.

This is a Core i7-4790K. Video card is a GTX-970 with a GM-204 CPU (according to Aida64). I just ran a test with Parted Magic, which is based on Linux. Once again same problem - if left to its own devices it'll crash on bootup. The only remedy is to hit Tab on bootup and insert "nomodeset" (followed by Ctrl-X) as an additional bootup parameter. Then it'll boot with straight VGA, i.e., no video driver at all. This happens with anything Linux. The only solution is to bootup with nomodeset after installation and use apt-get to install Nvidia drivers. After they're installed the problem disappears.
Try this method, temporarily plug your monitor to onboard motherboard while installing Linux. Apply the microcode and vaapi gpu acc. for intel followed by a reboot. Install Proprietary nvidia drivers, blacklist nouveau and plug the monitor to 970's HDMI/DP.

As far as I know you can't install proprietary drivers on a flashdrive or DVD you're using for bootup as a live CD. Propietary drivers can only be installed on a fully installed distro using apt-get. If the idea were to fully install and use a Linux distro, using nomodeset would be just a minor nuisance which can be resolved after installation. The problem I refer to is precisely when using a live CD such as Parted Magic, or for that matter using any distro would full installation. Even if indeed you could skip using nomodeset by swapping out the cable, in all honesty I don't know if it's even worth while.

I stopped using Parted Magic and switched to Boot Repair x64.
What I suggested was not software workaround.
All 3rd party drivers must be installed using apt get install commands.

Exactly my point! Live CD's can't be booted unless the nomoset parameter is used, and of course apt-get installs are possible for installed Linux distros only.

I checked my grub.cfg and indeed I added nomodeset along with quiet and splash.

How do you alter grub.cfg on a live CD?

Its as you said, pressing down arrow key whilst booting Linux and select nomodeset option.
I checked grub.cfg on my PC with Linux already installed.
