Solved Creating bootable USB drive

[Golden]

Hi,

I've recently downlaoded a copy of the HIRENS Boot CD 13.1 as an ISO image. I plan to copy this to a 8GB USB drive in order to boot from it.

The question is : am I required to format the USB drive using anything special to make it bootable, prior to copying the ISO onto it? If so, can anyone recommend any software to do that?

Thanks,
Golden

The easiest way to create a multiboot ISO pendrive is to use the Yumi multiboot USB Creator. YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux

Try it and you will never look back. My post http://www.sevenforums.com/installa...ootable-flash-drive-iso-file.html#post1206484 may be of help.

Hi Golden. Where did you get it from. The Hirens download link is being blocked by Malwarebytes.

The download link for the zip file is blocked. Perhaps I won't bother.

Nor do I but I'm not going to ignore it. This is the message when I click the link of the zip file.

I emailed hirens about the problem and they sent me a link to a mirror site which was ok.

I have attached the link if anyone is interested.
