Easy2Boot
What it is
Easy2Boot is software for building a multiboot USB drive to start operating system installers, live systems, and utilities. It runs on Linux and Windows, and the download offers menu systems based on grub4dos, grubfm, and Ventoy. To add content, copy ISO, IMG, or VHD files to the USB drive; listed payloads include Windows and Linux images, DOS programs, and floppy images. For supported UEFI payloads, .imgPTN partition images can be used with Secure Boot. Easy2Boot can also automate Windows installations with drivers, software, configuration, scripts, and updates. Linux setup requires an MBR partition layout and an unused fourth partition. The instructions recommend an 8GB–2TB USB drive and warn that larger drives may use 4K sectors or lack legacy boot support. Direct Secure UEFI32 booting to the agFM menu is not supported. The menu system uses open-source components and plain-text scripts, while the included Windows utilities are closed-source. Easy2Boot is free to use, and support includes a forum, live developer help, eBooks, and online chat.
