Make a bootable usb drive with my own set of utilities > iso files?
August 2nd, 2016
I’m curious if someone here can help me out with this issue I’ve been trying to solve for hours.
I used Xboot, refus, Sardu and none of them seem to work. Probably my fault.
So I got a set of iso files I do not want to burn to CD but instead want to put on my 16GB usb drive to boot from.
When I boot I have indeed changed the boot order to make sure my usb drive boots before windows does.
It is in this order:
cd drive
usb drive
windows 7 64-bit
It would be really awesome to load your own set of tools on a bootable usb instead of having to use haren’s cd tools or something like that that has alot of stuff you don’t want to use.
I think I’m missing something crucial yet for a newbie into this boot stuff not noticeable unless someone points it out.
The big question is what could I be missing here that causes it not to boot but skip to windows?
Possibly the iso is not bootable..
We need more info. What are you trying to make bootable?
Did you make an autorun file?
I have used YUMI to successfully create a multiboot ISB with many ISOs on it.

You can also use Windows to go and simply install the full version of programs even programs that don’t have a boot cd version. If you work in IT I thoroughly recommend you setup windows to go on a usbhdd (free) or if you can afford a windows to go certified drive like the Kingston portable workspace.
