How to Create MultiBoot USB ( Windows | Kali Linux)

Benefits of Multiboot USB
Freedom – Select between multiple OS’s on
boot time. No need to install OS’s one by
one from USB as traditional USB boot
creator programs like Unetbootin and
others limited user to install single OS on a
USB at a time.
Live USB – Most Linux distributions can be
tested without installing on system.

Persistence – All the commands executed
in terminal or files copied/downloaded
vanishes when the live OS restarts.
Persistence feature gives the power to hold
the data/information on the Live USB even
if the system is restarted .
Rescue Disk – Anti-virus program like
Kaspersky, Norton, AVG etc provides
bootable ISO file with latest virus
definitions that allows a user to rescue
their system when critically infected by
viruses. In case when system does not boot
up , rescue disk is very helpful.

Kali Linux Installation (Detect and Mount CD-
ROM Fix)
It was seen that Kali Linux is showing error
while installation unlike other Linux
distribution.
So here is a solution you can use any time
using your Multiboot USB
When you see this error screen
Click continue and it show you a list of
options.
Go for “Execute a shell “. Click Continue
Execute a shell
Now type the following
and check for / dev/sdb1 , most probably it
should be / media
NOTE: In my case I have been using Kali 2.0
64-bit. Yours can be different. Use appropriate
version. In case you don’t know just press
< TAB> after / media/multiboot/kali-linux- to
check for auto completion.
What we have actually done is that we have
removed the contents for / cdrom directory and
linked the kali-linux-2.0-amd / content to /
cdrom directory using ln command.
This tricked the installer into thinking the files
on the USB thumb drive were located on an
installer CD. The issue will be resolved and the
installer will be able to proceed past the point
it was stuck at.
Now you can continue with the installation
simply
Conclusions

virus Rescue disk on your USB drive.You can
boot it on any system.
Simply plug-in your USB ,Re/start the system
and set your USB as first Boot priority and
install Windows from USB or run Live Linux
