Multiboot USB creator for Win 8 UEFI / GPT

[tf76]

OK, I''m trying to find a multiboot USB creator for win 8 systems. So it needs to support UEFI and GPT.
So I know about Gandalfs disc he made, but I could not add that in rufus to usb because it's not a proper UEFI iso file. I like Rufus but I can't add multiple iso images to load a menu.

Anyone found anything free that works?

It would be nice to do this. I'm also currently trying to add both 32 and 64 bit versions of macrium reflect rescue with PE 4 to a USB with no success. Great fixing boot issues with UEFI / GPT.

Mebby approach Davide Costa and see what his take on it is?

Im pretty sure he's a member here.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a generic UEFI. It is a standard but is implemented by each of the vendors in their own way from what I understand.

Old thread, but Easy2Boot can now boot any number of FAT32 disk images from the same USB drive. If the image is capable of UEFI booting then this means it will boot via UEFI to the image.
Use MakePartImage to make a disk image from an ISO or DVD or from a pendrive (e.g. a FAT32-UEFI pendrive prepared using Rufus). Then just add the image file to your Easy2Boot USB drive.
When you boot to the Easy2Boot USB drive in MBR\CSM mode, select one of the image files from the menu - the partitions will be re-written to make the drive appear as a single-partition FAT32 drive.

You can then run the payload OS in MBR\CSM mode, or reboot from the USB drive and select UEFI mode from the UEFI BIOS menu and boot in UEFI mode from the FAT32 partition.

Then, when finished, to change the USB drive back to restore the Easy2Boot partitions, just boot it in MBR\CSM and choose the 'Restore Easy2Boot' menu option. It will then restore the original drive partitions and load the E2B menu so you can select a different image (or boot directly from ISOs in MBR mode).

Easy2boot is awesome! I had been using yumi, but it wasn't very reliable with some bios. I added acronis to easy2boot and created a ntfs partition on the drive to store my large windows images that I can restore with the easy2boot fat32 partition.

This looks good. Anyone using WinSetupfromUSB?

I found this recently. Looks a bit easier to use but might not be as customizable as E2B.
