    creating a boot ghost usb

    Hi Freddy,

    Ghost is a disk cloning and backup tool. In Windows, we can easily create a bootable USB with your cloned system.

    • First, prepare the WinPE which we will use to capture the customized image by following the steps on this

      link      .
    • Boot into WinPE to capture the computer image you have customized. To do it, check out this

      link      .
    • Then, convert WIM file into ISO.
    • Lastly, create the Bootable USB with your customized image.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    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!

    How to create a USB that boots to a Custom menu

    No boot from USB

    As Kyhi mentioned, If you're booting from a USB drive, it doesn't matter what you have on your laptop drive.
    How are you pointing to boot from the USB drive, by BIOS priority or by boot menu during POST?
    Follow these steps to open the Startup menu when the computer is powered off.

    1. Turn on the computer.
    2. Immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup Menu opens.
    3. Select the EFI USB drive


    PS.: You can only boot as UEFI if the OS is 64 bits. Is your Linux on the USB drive 64 bits version?
    Is the USB drive formatted as Fat32?
