  1. Question about bootable image


    Hey guys,

    I thought I'd turn here and ask you lovely gurus about this. I used to work in the IT department if a rather large Sandwich shop in Chicago that had done something that I am trying to replicate. Long story short, the way they would setup and distribute the company laptops was by having a bootable PXE server that would then go through and find pre-configured images for specific laptops. What I mean by pre-configured, I mean that any laptop that got imaged would come out with an "out of box" experience, having me go through and create a new user, password, etc, but after going through the initial setup and logging in, the administrator account was already there, company proprietary programs were already loaded up, all drivers were set up and ready to gox I mean it was just a matter of adding maybe one or two items and then placing the laptop on the domain.

    So I guess heres my problem. At my new job, I was trying trying to get something similar going. I was able to pull an image off of an already existing laptop, but I am unable to figure out how to get it to boot up as a preconfigured out of box experience, or simply make it so that the image is bootable. To clarify, I used the built in windows 10 "create a system image" function to pull this image.

    I know the image does work, as I am able to restore to that image on the other laptops by booting into a recovery drive and restoring from system image. So I suppose I'm good on that front.

    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!
