Re: Yumi Windows 11 Iso
Lorean Hoefert
Can you connect portable CD drive with this unit and run windows 10 installer? I am not experienced with Intel NUC 11, but thought to share my two cents in here. Portable CD drives are available with USB connectors as well,
I used to use the media creation tool to create a USB drive directly, which failed often enough that now my go-to procedure is to save as an ISO and burn it later using Rufus. I never have a problem installing Windows across many different brands of commputers once the USB drive was created by either method.
Once the installation starts, I stop it and create the EFI partition myself so that I get a larger-than-default size EFI partition so that Trend Micro WFBS Services can manage BitLocker properly. I use a 500MB EFI partition. Then I let the installation proceed. If I am installin ga new SSD into an older computer, I connect it to my laptop and create the EFI partition first, then put it into the computer getting the upgrade. It is a little easier to do it that way than to halt the Windows installation to do it.
Trying an Ubuntu iso now that I already had. It comes up with the initial Ubuntu menu asking if I want to try Ubuntu, install Ubuntu, run a memtest, etc. Any option I select for that just goes to a black screen and does nothing. I am still waiting on Linuxmint to download and copy over to the usb.
The next step to start on would be getting all your ISOs and CDs ready to transfer to the flash drive. As I mentioned earlier one of my main intentions of creating this drive was so I could get rid of my bulky CD case I seemed to be carrying everywhere. Using a software such as ImgBurn (free) you can create ISO files directly from CDs. HowToGeek has a good tutorial on how to this here. I saved all of these to a folder on my desktop named ISOs for easy organization.
If you choose that option instead of Try an Unlisted ISO, Yumi will install the Windows Vista/7/8 file to the root of the flash drive, and you DO NOT want that. It will work just fine if you install it as an unlisted ISO. So select Try an Unlisted ISO and then browse to your Windows ISO, then proceed with installation and you should see something similar to the image on the left. As you can see Yum is installing Windows 7 to D:\multiboot\ISOS\WIN7_MSDN.iso, which is what we want instead of having Yumi install it to the root of the flash drive. Continue to repeat this process for all the ISO files you want to install such as Windows and any other ISOs that are NOT listed in the Yumi list (Windows EXCLUDED). ALWAYS INSTALL WINDOWS ISO BY SELECTING TRY AN UNLISTED ISO.
yeah images are the way to go. you can put acronis on the sardu bootable along with hirens, break win 7 or ANY other images of systems with acronis down to 700mb pieces to all fit on fat32, all on one jumpdrive. #nasty
also to add: my disk is as follows: root> sardu menu and default files, all default hirens boot cd files, folder with exe files, folder with isos, driver pack solution windows executable (16gb by itself) then inside iso folder is acronis 2016 true image and universal boot, and 1 image of an xp system, win server 08 system, win 7 pro x86 and x64 system. after the image is installed on a system from acronis, you need to check achi/ide/raid setting in bios, and if still wont boot, run universal boot, then it should come up. then use driverpack solution (latest) to fill all the driver holes. then you should be fully up and running. rarely have i had to go find another driver on the manufacturers website and if i do, i will put that installable into the exe folder on my sardu disk, previously mentioned. this disk truly is the nastiest hack disk ive ever created and requires zero writing code or programming on my part. it may be one the most customized bootable, multi-faceted disks ever created. steve jobs and bill gates would probably want me to make them one, if they ever knew about it. ?
YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator), is the successor to MultibootISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary. Aside from a few distributions, all files are stored within the Multiboot or yumi folder (depending on version), making for a nicely organized Multiboot USB Drive that can still be used for other storage purposes. Note that YUMI is intended to be used to try to run various "LIVE Linux" Operating Systems from USB. Installing Linux from the YUMI created USB Drive to a Hard Drive is not officially supported. If the installer portion of any Live Linux distro does work, consider it a bonus.
