Hi Everyone
First of all thanks to developers for providing such a great tool.
Sorry if I am asking here kind of a stupid question. WinSetupFromUSB provides five options, three of which are as follows:
1. UBCD4Win/WinBuilder/Windows FLPC setup/BartPE.
2. Linux ISO/Other Grub4dos compatible ISO.
3. SysLinux bootsector/Linux distribution using SysLinux/Iso Linux.
How may I know which is the above option is to be selected for an ISO? Or is there any tool available on the net to check ISO’s properties.
Umm, have you looked at how the options are named? Which one has “ISO” in its name? 🙂
Exception is the last one, since isolinux is name for a bootloader, just as syslinux.
I have added Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 successfully. Now I have added Easy Recovery Essentials Windows XP, 7 and 8. EasyRE for Windows XP worked fine following procedure described here (http://neosmart.net/wiki/easybcd/tips-and-tricks/easyre-recovery-usb/). But when I added it in WinSetupFromUSB it didn’t work for me. For your information I added it under category “Linux ISO/Other Grub4dos compatible ISO”.
Did I do anything wrong? Should I add that particular ISO under some other category? Or help me getting any tool that may tell me about ISO’s properties. Please help.
Thanks again for the great tool from you.
Not sure what exactly this ISO has in it, nor where to get it from, but take a look at this tutorial about which option to use:
http://www.winsetupfromusb.com/find-source-type-which-option-to-use/
Thanks for reply. I read the whole page and none of those may apply. Screenshot link is shown below for your reference.
Your tool is really rocking. I tried a lot of software to put Windows XP Setup CD on USB, but none of them worked for me. It was WinSetupFromUSB that helped me do that. Bundle of thanks for providing such great tool.

Can you post the same way screenshots for each folder in the ISO?
Here are screenshots. Please have a look.

Can you open grub.cfg in Notepad, post its contents on pastebin.com and post here the provided link?
Apparently it’s stripped down linux based distro and will have to add it manually to the USB disk.
There are 2 grub.cfg files in ISO.
1). Text of EasyRE.iso->boot[folder]->grub[folde]->grub.cfg[file]
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates

Copy the ISO file as EasyRE.ISO to /ISO folder on the USB disk. You might want to defragment it once copied, there is a WinContig program included in\files\tools\RMPrepUSB\WinContig\
Open menu.lst in root of the USB disk preferably NOT with standard Notepad, but with some more advanced editor like Notepad++ and add these lines at the end of it:
title EasyRE from ISOfind --set-root --devices=hf /ISO/EasyRE.ISO
map --unhook
map /ISO/EasyRE.ISO (0xff) || map --mem /ISO/EasyRE.ISO (0xff)
root (0xff)
kernel /boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null autologin sound=noconf kmap=en acpi=off noapic nolapic noacpi nomodeset
initrd /boot/rootfs.gz
Sorry for late reply. I added ISO as EasyRE.ISO in ISO folder, ran defragmentation, made changes in menu.lst file (using copy paste from above text provided by you) and then tested in QEMU through WinSetupFromUSB. It raised an error, which I am attaching here.

Sorry, my bad.
Please put right above

What exactly do you mean?
Can’t update it once launched, can’t update the ISO file on the USB disk with new one or what?
I have create a bootable pendrive which have included windows XP, 7 , 8.1 and hirens boot cd. Everything is perfect but when i start hirens boot cd then entering mini windows xp, then I see that there is nothing HBCD menu. which is very much vital in this . Can you solve my problem.?
Yup exactly my problem, tool doesnt handle hirens properly for some reason, tools are non existant in livexp
As mentioned numerous times in the comments (google site search helps a lot) hirens is not officially supported and will not be until it contains warez.
Oh well w/e then. I found another tool which works properly with hirens. P.S That is the most lame excuse for not supporting something.
Lame excuse?! Heh…
Did you even try quick lame google search on this page to find how easily this is achieved, as posted by other users?
I have no need to excuse for anything. That’s my position on this software and it will be like this.
Hello.It sets a bad image Windows.I removed image and put a good one. How to remove the old record run Windows tab screenshot? In the file menu.lst that is not present. In a file, you can delete this entry? http://savepic.net/7057703.htm
You can edit Windows bcd menus with the included BootIce or the free VisualBCD- edit \boot\bcd for BIOS boot and \efi\microsoft\boot\bcd for EFI boot.
tell which file to fix in a flash drive is already finished, in order to remove one extra line, ie where a list of operating systems. The menu.lst file is not in this list.
How to create bootable pendrive for all bios version supported to run are clerly
pls help
Sorry, I don’t understand what you are looking to accomplish.
How can i remove a ISO, i added now windows 7, 8 and 10 but faild and added twice win 10 32 bit now i want to remove one. Please help
Manually delete it from the winsetup folder on the usb disk. Then edit Windows bcd menus with the included BootIce or the free VisualBCD- edit \boot\bcd for BIOS boot and \efi\microsoft\boot\bcd for EFI boot.
So
ive try it like this:
1) format/add w10 pro with 2nd option (vista/7/8)
2) no format/add w8.1 pro with 2nd option (vista/7/8)
3) no format/add linuxmint 17.2 with 4th option (Live ISO/Other….)
(no option set in advance)
booting from the stick (uefi) i get to the selection between w8 and w10. there is no linuxmint. also the menu for w10/w8 seems to be microsoft like menu and not the grub that i was expected.
the iso for linuxmint is on the stick.
i just cant see an option to boot from linuxmint
also the soft sometimes stops without doing anything i thing right before it supose to start to copy files to usb….waited for more than 30 min…..(i\m currently on w8.1 pro)
its active in taskmanager – around 20% CPU but no disk activity.
software version WinSetupFromUSB-1-6-beta2
EFI boot is supported only for the Windows NT family supporting EFI, Vista sp2 and later.
And the boot manager when booted in EFI mode is the Windows bootmgr.
The boot manager for BIOS mode is grub4dos which has number of useful features allowing to boot nearly any linux ISO, beside all the goodies allowing multiple windows xp and such sources. But grub4dos does not support EFI and most likely never will, unless rewritten probably from scratch. Until grub2 or similar boot manager implements similar features, this limitation will remain- bios boot for any source and efi boot only for nt family.
Of course, if signle linux ISOis needed, one could manually add it following any of the many guides on i-net.
grub2 already has efi support. Already on my hdd (3tb hdd -gpt). windows starts so nice from it (ASUS logo confirms it lol)
Yes it does, just as few more but lacks those grub4dos features which allow booting multiple linux ISOs. Please read my comment again carefully 😉
Booting all these isos is not just copying them to the usb.
in the end i manage to do what i wanted
half with your program
half manual/google 🙂 – to add entries in grub.cfg
it isn’t that hard….well i had to look for a few hours how to configure grub to point to another folder. i gave up and choose iso way 🙂
your program – for windows menu to choose w8/w10
grub to
– add entry for install windows (after will show windows like menu)
– add entry for mint 17
so far everything works….
i have yet to install linux…but since it started in live session i doubt i’ll have problems.
After adding hirens to usb with this tool, LiveXp desktop is empty , meaning no usual hbcd tools are available.
Is it possible to add unpacked hirens iso to your tool?
