Hello SuperSys! So in this post I'll be showing you how to use an amazing piece of software called YUMI. Seagate backup for mac 1tb. It stands for 'Your Universal Multiboot Integrator'. Okay, so I love using different operating systems, and have multiple .ISO files burned on many different USB drives, but it gets annoying and cumbersome having to carry around a dozen USBs, so I thought, 'What if I could have all my .ISO's burned to one USB?' That would be great, so I decided to delve into the great, vast land called Google. It took me less than five minutes to find Yumi: YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator | USB Pen Drive Linux Basically what it does is lets you install however many ISO's you want to a single USB drive, and creates a bootloader menu that you access when you boot your computer from a USB. It is highly customizable, and is only limited by the size of your USB. I do recommend two other tools to make this work better, but you only have to install YUMI.

These tools will help alot, so it'd be helpful to download these. Mac os x macbook pro early 2011. The FAT32 formatting tool (it's called guiformat) will help you format your USB in the FAT32 file system (you have to do this for it to work!!!), and Multibootusb let's you test out the bootable USB without having to restart your computer.
Alrighty, let's get started!
Step 1) Download YUMI, guiformat, and Multibootusb from the links provided above.
Step 2) Plug your USB into your computer and use guiformat to format the drive into the FAT32 file system, if it isn't already
Step 3) Gather all the .ISO's you want to burn to the USB
Step 4) Fire up YUMI, agree to the license, select your USB

Step 5) This part is a bit harder. For demonstration purposes I'll be using a Ubuntu 16.04 .ISO file and I want to burn it to my USB with YUMI. Where it says 'Select a distribution from the list to put' I scroll all the way down to the bottom and pick 'Try unlisted ISO (via SYSLINUX)' because it is a UNIX distro. There is an option for Ubuntu, but it is simpler to always pick the unlisted .ISO via SYSLINUX for any UNIX/Linux distros. If you want to install any other OS (Windows/Mac OS X/ Solaris/etc.), use 'Try unlisted ISO (via GRUB)'.
Step 6) Once you have selected your ISO type, browse to the .ISO file and select it, then hit 'create'

Step 7) YUMI will install the .ISO to your USB, which can take quite a while if it's a large .ISO, but usually takes less than 30 minutes
Step 8) Now you have installed an .ISO on your USB, and you can repeat the process however many times you want
Testing:
To test if the USB works, fire up Multibootusb and select the QEMU option. Then select your RAM and click 'Boot USB'. If it doesnt boot, go to the 'Multibootusb' option, and make sure your correct USB drive is selected. If you do this correctly, your USB should boot into the YUMI bootloader and you can select your OS to boot
Customization:

Alright, now you've installed all your .ISO's on your USB, you've tested it to work fine, and now ya wanna customize it! For demonstration purposes, I'm gonna refer to the USB drive letter as D: but it might be different for you! Okay, open up your D: drive and navigate to the multiboot folder. This opens a bunch of files and folders, and, at first, might seem a bit confusing, so just stick with me. Find the yumi.png file. That is the background for the bootloader. Open it up and look at it. You can download any file off the internet and rename it yumi and replace the yumi.png file with your file. But for this to work you have to go to this site: Convert image to PNG and if it's a JPG or JPEG file you must convert it to PNG, and resize it to 640 x 480. If it's already a PNG, still resize it. Now, delete the yumi.png file, and put your file in D:multiboot, then rename it to yumi.png. Now fire up QEMU and test it out! If you followed the directions correctly, it'll change the bootloader background image to your image. Now, that's the simplest customization you can do, but if you want directions on how to actually change the text and stuff, message me, and I'll send you directions! Thanks for reading!
