This document provides instructions for creating a multiboot USB drive using Yumi and Qemu. It describes installing Windows XP and 7 ISOs using Yumi, selecting "Try an Unlisted ISO" rather than the listed Windows options. All ISOs are installed to subdirectories rather than the root. Qemu is used to test the drive before customizing the boot menu descriptions and background. Ensuring the drive boots as expected in Qemu validates the installation process before finalizing the multiboot configuration.

How to Make ISO File from CD, DVD, or Blu-ray Disc?
You are here: Tutorials > How to Make ISO File from CD, DVD, or Blu-ray Disc?
PowerISO can make an ISO file from a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc. PowerISO do a sector-by-sector copying. All
information in the disc, including the boot information, will be copied. You can launch the iso maker using the
main program or the shell context menu.
Usage1: Make ISO file using the main program:
 Run PowerISO.
 Click "Copy" button on toolbar, then choose "Make CD / DVD / BD Image File..." from the popup menu.

9.  PowerISO shows ISO Maker dialog.
 Choose the CD / DVD driver which holds the disc you want to copy.
 Choose the output file name, and set output format to ISO.
 Click "OK" to make iso file from the selected disc.
Usage2: Make ISO file using the shell context menu:
 Open "My Computer" and select the drive which holds the disc you want to copy..
 Right-click on the drive selected, the shell context menu will popup.
 Choose the menu "Make Image File".
 The "ISO maker" dialog will display.
 Choose the output file name, and set output format to ISO.
 Click "OK" to start making.

10. Start Installing ISOs and Installers/Distributions
Yumi Select an Unlisted ISO
Now comes the fun part, to start putting everything together. Load up Yumi and select your flash drive. To get
the drive started the first thing I installed is the ISO I created from a Dell Windows XP CD. Scroll down to
“Windows XP Installer” listed in step 2 under distributions. Next click on Browse under step 3 and select the ISO
you created for your Windows XP ISO. After that click next and Yumi will begin to install the Windows XP
Installer along with Grub4Dos. Yumi will use a combination of Grub4Dos and Syslinux for this custom boot.
After Yumi has installed the Windows XP Installer you can move on to adding additional Windows Installers.
Next we’re going to add Windows 7 installer, select Yes to add more after the Windows XP is complete or just
reload the Yumi application. Scroll down and select “Try an Unlisted ISO”, DO NOT SELECT Windows
Vista/7/8 Installer, again DO NOT SELECT Windows Vista/7/8 Installer.
Yumi Multiboot Install Windows
If you choose that option instead of Try an Unlisted ISO, Yumi will install the Windows Vista/7/8 file to the root
of the flash drive, and you DO NOT want that. It will work just fine if you install it as an unlisted ISO. So select
Try an Unlisted ISO and then browse to your Windows ISO, then proceed with installation and you should see
something similar to the image on the left. As you can see Yum is installing Windows 7 to

11. D:multibootISOSWIN7_MSDN.iso, which is what we want instead of having Yumi install it to the root of the
flash drive. Continue to repeat this process for all the ISO files you want to install such as Windows and any
other ISOs that are NOT listed in the Yumi list (Windows EXCLUDED). ALWAYS INSTALL WINDOWS ISO
BY SELECTING TRY AN UNLISTED ISO.
Multiboot USB Qemu
Now that you have all your ISOs installed that you want to use it’s time to fire up Qemu and test the drive out.
Once we have tested and made sure the drive is functional we will then proceed to customizing the boot menu
descriptions, wording, and even background. Load up the file I had to download from the beginning, Multiboot
USB. Select the “Qemu” tab, select the amount of RAM you want to use and then click “Boot USB”. The
screenshot has the text not looking correctly and that’s because under Windows 8 I set it to increase the size of
everything so some applications that are not dynamic have issues like this, but that doesn’t have anything to do
with functionality, it still works fine. After you click Boot USB another window should open which will be a
Qemu session that will attempt to boot the flash drive. You should then see a screen with the Yumi background
and a heading saying “Your Universal MultiBoot Installer”. If you hit enter on “Directly Bootable ISOs or
Windows XP” it should bring you to the Grub4Dos screen where you should see 3 options for Windows XP and
then an option for each of the Windows ISOs and any other ISOs we added using “Try Unlisted ISO” … don’t
worry about the wording we will customize that next. Play around with it and make sure everything works, if you
have problems try booting the flash drive on another computer to make sure it isn’t Qemu that is causing the
problem. Remember how to run Qemu like this as you will be using it frequently when changing around the
wording and backgrounds.
