Evening all

I am trying to compile my own little usb boot of programs i use a lot but i am having some issues trying to set it up using yumi. I have created the windows 7 recovery disk a burnt to dvd, i have ripped the iso image from the dvd with imageburn and added the iso via yummy but whenever i boot into yumi and select the iso its just throws out an error.

Do i have to edit anything within the files yumi creates at all? I was going to rip my windows 7 iso as well and put that on there but if this recovery iso does not work i dont think my windows one will either.

Is there another alternate to yumi or have i just missed a simple step

Hope yo can help thanks a million

Likely the ISO you created is boned for use as bootable media.

Should not need to edit anything with YUMI.

I used to use YUMI but SARDU is better though. YUMI has some nasty Windows installer related quirks. For example - When building Windows 7 with YUMI after the first reboot you must remove the USB drive before it goes back to setup or the setup will fail with a generic non-descript hardware error.

Also, you can download official Windows 7 Images that work perfectly with SARDU. I did an Ultimate Windows 7 setup from SARDU flawlessly recently.
 
Thanks for that Sin much appreciated! I will take a look at sardu for sure. I always get baffled when i burn an iso to cd and it boots fine but when you copy the contents to a usb it wont? I thought they were setup pretty much the same way. Does yumi not actually boot directly from iso's then? I have also looked a grub4dos but got really confused by it as i was going to try and make my own dos menu but gave up
 
YUMI CAN boot ISOs directly but it does not do it for Windows Setups. You point YUMI at your ISO and it copies the files into a the correct extracted folder structures on the root of the USB media and writes the bootloader entries appropriately.

SARDU does the same but is less buggy with it.
