Answer 1

Windows Boot Drive Programs

There are lots of options for making an installer USB in Windows, most are syslinux based..

Some offer Live installs, (without persistence):

Rufus - 3.1.1320 (BIOS and UEFI)

Copy/Paste ISO Contents - (UEFI only)

Some offer a choice of either Live or Persistent installs:

MultiBootUSB - 9.2.0 (BIOS and UEFI, 4GB persistence, Problems: Missing casper-rw file)

Linux Live - 2.9.4 (BIOS and UEFI, >4GB persistence BIOS only, comes with Portable Virtualbox)

UNetbootin - 661 (BIOS and UEFI, 4GB persistence)

Universal - 1.9.8.3 (BIOS and UEFI, 4GB persistence)(>4GB BIOS/NTFS)

YUMI - 2.0.5.7 (BIOS only, >4GB persistence NTFS)

YUMI-UEFI - 0.0.0.8 (UEFI only, 4GB persistence)

All of the commercial Syslinux installers require at least three inputs:

• Location of source ISO.

• Target drive letter.

• Amount of persistence.

Several of the programs will allow formatting the drives FAT32 or NTFS, if not sure choose Default, (FAT32). NTFS does not boot with UEFI.
