YUMI MultiBoot USB Flash Drive - Create for Windows

How to Create a YUMI MultiBoot USB Flash Drive for Windows

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.

This can also be used for memtest86+, matrixium, antiviruses, and many other OS other than window.

Tip   Tip

  • Now that you are finished installing Vista from the USB, make the Vista hard drive (or partition) listed first in the hard drive Boot Priority order list in the BIOS. (Step 10)

    [*]If you have no use for the old windows files, you can clear up some space by going into
    Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
    and selecting the drive in which the old windows files are in, and then checking the box that says 'Old Windows Files' and clicking 'Go'​



* * * * * * ENJOY YOUR NEW OPERATING SYSTEM. * * * *​
