BOOT USB FLASH WITH TOTAL COMMANDER DRIVERS
On the other hand, it's possible to create a single Reflect WinPE rescue media build on a USB stick that can handle quite a wide range of hardware by adding drivers to it as explained in the sub-items under this KB article. (Can post a sample menu.lst for that if you want one.) Wilders Security Forums have a lengthy discussion about the "pros and cons" of some of the multi-boot USB utility options that may be of interest.

BOOT USB FLASH WITH TOTAL COMMANDER ISO
I use Grub4DOS myself just because I've become most familiar with it's versatile capabilities for much more than just ISO booting. YUMI certainly is a good utility option for creating multi-boot setups on USB sticks and there are several others that you may also want to consider. (and if 5529 should fail I have the proven 5496 ready to go.) Now that I use ISOs on one YUMI Flash drive I can instantly choose the "ERASE SSD" ISO and then the Rescue-5529.iso to put Windows back onto the SSD Unfortunately when selecting via the BIOS Boot Selection screen they are identified by "Friendly Names" which I do not recognise. I know my OCZ and Macrium Flash drives by their "Volume Labels". The operational differences between a Macrium and a YUMI boot Flash are :-Ī few extra seconds whilst YUMI launches and present a menu of ISOs ready for launch.Īn absolute certainty of what will happen when I launch the ISO One of which will become a YUMI duplication - eggs in one basket never ends well. This leaves me with 3 spare flash drives, (the important two purposes each have the previous version ISO as well). I now have all 4 purposes with covered by 6 ISO's in one Flash drive I had 4 off single purpose dedicated Boot Flash Drives.

Plus several other LINUX based ISOs for Partition Management and also both the previous and the latest OCZ ISOs for Secure Erasing of my SSD.Ī Macrium WinPE ISO burnt to CD takes a long time for loading the Windows Files (and a longer time for burning)Ī Macrium WinPE Boot Flash is very much faster for loading Windows Files.Ī YUMI Boot Flash seems to be just as fast at loading Windows Files. I now have my YUMI drive contain both the old WinPE ISO that works and also the latest WinPE ISO that has yet to be proven, Instead of updating an old Macrium Boot Restore Boot Flash that works,Īnd over-writing with the latest version that is different (but possibly not in a good way), Then I browse to the location of the WinPE ISO and click "Create" and a few seconds later it is done. I recommend the use of the YUMI multi-boot loader (currently version 0.0.8.7Īnd instead of a slow burn to CD I launch YUMI,Īnd at the bottom of a long scroll list there is I'd guess you could probably just use one ISO if you wanted to, and slap whichever ISO you wanted to boot to each time onto the USB stick? Either way sounds great for your use though. Basically you can put one or several different ISOs on a USB drive and upon booting the USB you can choose which ISO to boot to. Fwiw there are also other programs which do the same or similar things which can be found via Google. He talked about YUMI quite a bit back then and I can't believe I've never given it a go myself. I'd suggest this might be a great tool for you to use given your description of how you're running things.

In the old forums at there is a post by (he helped us all out a lot) about using YUMI.

But I was thinking instead of making and storing a CD for each computer (and making a new one each time there is an update that affects the rescue media), I could keep a bootable USB stick and on-the-fly, copy the files from the ISO for a particular computer to it when I need to use the rescue environment. I can then make rescue CDs and test them when I can get in there. I am installing Reflect Workstation on 10 computers remotely for a client, and I am creating rescue ISO's for each computer and storing them on the backup NAS. My apologies if this has been answered already.
