Productivity: USB Multiboot ISO

Ever wanted to boot a PC from a USB stick, but had to download a thousand tools and follow a million steps guide that never works ?

Well this excellent tool from www.pendrivelinux.com is not only going to help you create a bootable USB, but also multi-boot it with some top linux distribution and windows.

You don’t really have to do anything yourself. Not even download the ISO files , it does that for you.

MultiBootISOs-USB-Creator

Below is a summary of the features I used:

1. Format the USB drive and make it active partition for you.
2. download the ISO files of the Linux distribution you want and install it on the USB drive for you.
3. you can also show it a Windows installation ISO, and you can have it as booting option to boot into windows XP ,Vista or Win7 installation CD’s.

I think a 16GB USB thumb-drive is enough to install all possible OS’s.

Among the many possibilities multiboot uses you have are:

1. System Rescue utility
2. Windows XP,VISTA,WIn7 installation image.
3. Antivirus Liveboot.
4. Quick and light Linux booting to internet browsing and emails.
5. … and many others.
