 Bootable Device

A Bootable disk contains special files required for the computer to boot into an operating system. For example, a hard drive, floppy disk drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD Drive, and USB Drive are all considered bootable devices. However, unless the necessary boot files are stored on the drive, diskette, or disc, the computer sync boot from that device.

So we need to use an application software to store boot files to make a bootable device.

There are many ways to create a bootable device, in this blog we will discuss YUMI.


Yumi stands for (Your Universal multiboot Installer), it is the successor to our Multiboot ISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot Bootable USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning – backups, penetration testing, diagnostic tools, and much more.

YUMI works much like Universal USB Installer, except it can be used to add more than one distribution to run Live from your Flash Drive.
