I am having a 16 GB pen-drive of which I carry multiple bootable operating systems and my stuff all in just one stick. Whether it is Linux, Open Solaris or Windows and even bootable utilities such as backup,boot time virus scan and boot time fixing of a damaged system it's not a joke yes all this stuff bootable and plug and play type when i was surfing the internet i found a very useful utility Yumi Multi boot which can easily do all that things mentioned above with a few clicks but there is a restriction only one type of operating system must be installed which means if your base platform is Linux then you must install all versions of Linux for example Ubuntu and its versions + any other branch of Linux such as Fedora, but you can't use Linux parallel to Windows this is the restriction.
That's all there is to it. You should now be booting your favorite distributions from your custom Multi-Boot USB device!
How It Works: YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) enables each user to create their own custom Multiboot UFD containing only the distributions they want, in the order by which they are installed. A new distribution can be added to the UFD each time the tool is run.
If you run YUMI from the same location you store ISO downloads, they should be auto-detected (*See Known Issues Below), eliminating the need to browse for each ISO.
VERY IMPORTANT:(above mentioned)Windows Vista or 7 Installers will cause Ubuntu or any remix based on Ubuntu (I.E. Linux Mint) to hang during boot. A quick fix is to temporarily rename the Windows SOURCES folder found at the root of the USB device.
Other Notes: If
MultibootISOs was previously used, you must reformat the drive and
start over. YUMI uses Syslinux directly, and chainloads to grub only if
necessary, so it is not compatible with the older Multiboot ISO tool.
Although I do plan to add back the capabilities of MultibootISOs as time
permits.
The distro uninstaller works great, but unlisted ISO's that have been added must currently be manually removed!
