Windows 10: YUMI - One ultimate USB Bootable Stick to rule them all!

Hey guys,

After solving some recent booting issues with Windows 10 i figured i'd pick up one of my old projects i had lying around.
My goal actually was to have a single 32GB Bootable USB Flashdrive with enough tools at my disposal so if i ever ran into any trouble (or went to help someone else), it was going to be all i needed!

Someone hinted me that YUMI was a great tool to create a bootable USB stick that could carry mutliple images so i got that and started experimenting with it.

The following images are the ones i would like to put on this USB stick:
- Windows 10 Pro x64 ISO (this way i have an installer and Recovery Environment at my disposal) -WIMBOOT
- Ultimate BootCD USB ISO (v538 was the latest i think)
- Macrium Reflect Rescue ISO 64-bit
- Minitool Partition Wizard ISO

Since the latter 3 are not supported by YUMI by default i had to guess and pick use: 'An Unlisted ISO'.
This gives the option for several bootloaders. In several YT tutorials i saw people select the default GRUB loader.
The 'Minitool Partition Wizard ISO' does not seem to want to work with that though.
Everything else seems to work fine (except for some exotic options the UBCD image holds...but thats fine).

Anyone else have experience with this and might know of a way to get that Minitool image to work?

The remaining space on my bootdrive is used for several Windows executables, installers etc.
But if anyone thinks i am missing a majorly useful ISO feel free to let me know!

:)

 

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!

 

Multi-bootable USB

YUMI does that.

There's an old gudie here: https://smyl.es/tutorial-how-to-bui...ndows-and-linux-and-portableapps-for-windows/

Though, I'm not sure whether it's possible to add a windows install with YUMI

YUMI and BSOD no help from YUMI


I don't know why YUMI didn't boot but I have a suggestion that should make that a moot point. Instead, use Kyhi's WinPE Rescue disk. I think it's the best rescue tool around. Boots Windows 10 and has a bunch of tools to resolve many of the problems you run into.

See here: Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk from KYHI

As for YUMI, is your PC a UEFI system or an older BIOS system. If UEFI, then the flash driuve has to be UEFI bootable or you need to set CSM (compatibility) mode in the UEFI setup then you should be able to boot YUMI.

I couldn't find one, but maybe there is a forum where YUMI is discussed, somewhere on the pENDRIVElINUX SITE PERHAPS?
