For Linux LiveCD+ Persistence, see, or for Ubuntu-based ISOs or see. Click or to download official Windows Install ISOs. Useful DOS + other boot disk images (site is German but disks are USA English - make a.imz file and then save as.ima using WinImage or 7Zip). For a useful list of Rescue Disks - see. SARDU is another multiboot USB solution which you might like to try - they have a useful maintained list of downloads (note: some ISOs marked as 'EFI' do not contain EFI boot files and so will not UEFI-boot when converted to.imgPTN files - check the ISO contents contains a EFI folder).
Checkout these. Use ChrisR's to build you own WinPE. The ISO docs Download URLs folder on your E2B USB drive contains many useful links - try them!. can often extract files from ISO files when 7Zip/WinRar and other applications cannot. New! E2B 130-page now available (complete course on making a multiboot USB drive)! List 3 - grub2 menu system (for UEFI-booting of non-UEFI ISOs) Tips. For most ISOs (except Windows Install ISOs), just copy the ISO file to the ISO MAINMENU folder.
Try to avoid spaces and special characters in file names - use instead of a space. If it works, then try it with spaces. Some files may require the file extension to be changed (if so, it will be mentioned in the list below). Some payloads may require you to add and edit a (if so, it will be mentioned in the list below). Sample.mnu files can be found in the E2B download in the ISO docs Sample mnu Files folder. Look also for sample.txt files.
Generally, if it works for one version of a distro, it will work with any version of the same family/type. Turn the SCROLL LOCK LED on before selecting the ISO file to see E2B suggestions. If a.ISO file doesn't seem to work correctly or you want to UEFI-boot from it, use the and convert it to a FAT32. Use the MakePartImage shortcut instead of the MPIFAT32 shortcut if the.imgPTN file does not work correctly - this allows more options. It is possible to add multiple, fully-installed linux OS's (see ) and WindowsToGo OS's (see ). When installing from a bootable linux installation ISO, specify /dev/sdX 4 as the cdrom source device (this will be the linux ISO- e.g. mount /dev/sdb4 /cdrom or sudo mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/cdrom), where X is the USB drive letter, e.g.
Alternatively, try converting the ISO to a.imgPTN file using MPIFAT32 (e.g. RedHat linux installation) and no special action should be required. For Debian, you may need to specify the 'CDROM' as -t vfat /dev/sdX4. For.ISO files that boot to DOS 7 or later - use. ISODOS01 file extension - the CD/ISO contents can then be found on DOS drive B: after booting. Some DOS programs (e.g.
BIOS updates, etc.) can be copied to the E2B drive and then run using the DOS - FreeDos menu entry to boot to DOS - drive C: will be the E2B USB drive (NTFS or FAT32 supported). See also the RMPrepUSB Tutorial #33 on how to make bootable FreeDOS floppy disk images. See E2B DOS page. For Windows PE ISOs, try. ISOPE01 (mounts ISO as Y: - only works with 'Removable' E2B USB drives or E2B USB HDD + WinHelper flash drive). For E2B USB HDD drives, some WinPE ISOs (Hirens, Gandalf, Bob Ombs, etc.)may need to be converted to.imgPTN for full functionality.
For WinBuilder PE ISOs always use the. Iso file extension, they do not need to be fully contiguous - see. For WinPE UEFI-booting, convert to FAT32.imgPTN files. If you get a syslinux boot: prompt instead of a menu - press the TAB key and type one of the boot options that will be listed. If you want to display text files or help files - see. If you still having problems and it is not in this list below, search this site first and then and I will try to help. Common 'gotchas':.
Make sure all files are (Windows Installer ISOs and VHDs don't need to be contiguous). For Win 7/8/10 Install ISOs you may need to use a removable USB drive to avoid ' CD/DVD drive driver required' error (see for workarounds). You can check what type of USB Flash drive you have (Fixed or Removable) by using RMPrepUSB.
If you update to E2B v1.A8 or later a Fixed-disk E2B drive may work without needing a helper USB flash drive. Many Windows Install ISOs require you to specify a Product Key or you will get a 'licence' error - even Evaluation versions which do not normally require a Product Key will give an error unless you specify the correct evaluation Product Key (tip: install it using some other method, e.g. Rufus or.imgPTNf file, and then use ProduKey to find out what key it used). IsoPE01 file extensions require a Removable E2B drive or an extra WINHELPER USB Flash drive. If using an E2B hard disk and you have 'DVD driver' problems, convert Windows Installer Vista/7/8/10 ISO files to FAT32. Try a USB 2.0 port if the correct USB 3.0 drivers are not contained in the ISO ( and some linux ISOs may not contain correct USB controller drivers for modern chipsets). Windows 7 does not contain modern USB drivers and so may not 'see' the USB drive once you boot to Setup.
Keep all files within the first 137GB if using a large USB drive (due to a common ). You cannot UEFI-boot directly from an ISO file using grub4dos E2B menu. To UEFI-boot, use a.imgPTN or the. Special instructions for Windows 7 64-bit UEFI booting. See page for more 'gotchas' and issues. The entries in bold type below have been tested by me personally. WINDOWS INSTALLER ISOs - Windows Server 2003, XP Home/Pro must be copied to the correct ISO WINDOWS xxx folder.
Trial product Key 4GQ7-HG48K-7YP6R-6JM4C-33FMQ. For XP ISOs that contain a $OEM$ folder, some ISOs may work (e.g.
Windows 2000 is not supported - you can however make a - test it - and then convert the flash drive to a.imgPTN image for use with E2B. For others, use to make a USB Flash drive and then use the MPI Tool Kit to make a partition image.imgPTN file from the Flash drive (say Yes to combine menu.lst files). WINDOWS INSTALLER ISOs - Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Server 2012, Multipoint Server, Server 2K8R2, Windows 10, Server 2016 - must be copied to the correct ISO WINDOWS xxx folder. For Win8/8.1/10 you may need to specify the correct Product Key or you may get a 'license' error or some other error. Place Windows Multipoint Server ISOs in SVR2K8R2 folder. If using a Fixed-disk type of E2B USB drive, a is sometimes also required for Vista/7/8/10 - OR - convert to a.imgPTN file using the.
E2B v1.8A+ versions usualy work without requiring a WinHelper flash drive. If non-standard Vista/7/8/10 ALL-IN-ONE (AIO) ISOs, monkrus ISOs, WinPE, Windows Repair and Microsoft Deployment Tool (MDT) ISOs do not work correctly as a.ISO file then convert them to a.imgPTN file using the (use FAT32 if possible for UEFI boot support). Note: Some Windows Installer ISOs (Vista/7/8/10) that don't require a Product Key may 'just work' if place them in any 'normal' payload folder - e.g. ISO MAINMENU (E2B v1.8A+) - or convert them to.imgPTN files or add a 'WinHelper' USB Flash drive. Windows 7 64-bit UEFI booting - special instructions. Windows 8/10 Recovery- copy the ' ISO docs Sample mnu files Windows BootRecoveryWIM.mnu' file to ISO MAINMENU and you should be able to boot to the Recovery.wim file on any Windows 8/10 system disk without even needing a wim file on your E2B drive or a recovery partition on the target drive!. Windows Server 2003 Installer X13-04874.img - rename to.iso (use '2K3' in filename - e.g.
Windows2K3.iso) and place in the ISO WINDOWS XP folder and treat as if installing XP. Usually will work using the DPMS2 mass storage drivers for XP.

Run Step 1 from the.isomemwinv file in MainMenu and after reboot run Step 2 from Windows Install menu - 'XP Step 2 512MB'. If there is a Mass Storage Driver problem, try running both Step 1 and Step 2 from the Windows Install menu with DPMS (but some final auto-install features may not fully work and you may need to press ESC to skip a driver file copy in Step 1).
