    Converting old bootable DVDs to ISO or directly to bootable USB


    So I have decided to finally, finally get rid of all my CDs and DVDs. For non-bootable program installs or data, I simply copied all the files to a folder on a very large HDD.*Cool

    But I also have these bootable CDs for Win XP and Windows 7. I don't want to simply pitch them. You never know ...*chuckle

    What is the best way to make these disks into bootable ISO files? or convert directly to bootable USB drives?

    Is there a USB boot utility like Rufus that can create multiple bootable partitions on one drive? 32 and 64 GB thumb drives cost almost nothing these days. *Roflmao2

    :)

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    Bootable USB to ISO

    He's not trying to make a bootable USB. He wants to restore the ISO from the bootable USB (the reverse operation).



    What software are you trying to restore? You can get the Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River: http://social.technet.microsoft.com...c99-42db-80c8-6300f01f7aae/windows-7downloard

    Bootable USB to ISO

    I have a bootable flash drive and I was wondering is it possible to make it or convert it back to an ISO? The original ISO file was deleted after making the flash drive. However, I'd like to have a back-up of it just in case I lose the flash drive or it gets corrupted.
