@Techminator,

Yes, it’s possible to update specific ISO images on a multi-boot USB without recreating the entire thing, depending on the software you’re using. Tools like Ventoy, for instance, allow you to simply replace the old ISO file with the new one on the USB drive.

So, in your example, if you wanted to update just the Linux image, you could replace the old Linux ISO with the updated one without affecting the Windows and Anti-Virus ISOs. However, not all multi-boot USB creators offer this feature, so it’s essential to check the capabilities of the specific tool you’re using.

If you’re using a tool that doesn’t support direct ISO replacement, you might need to go through the whole process again.

Do any of these allow us to update ISO images without having to recreate the whole thing again?

Example: I create a bootable USB for Windows, Linux, and Anti-Virus. I then want to update the linux image only. Is this possible or do I have to go through the whole process again?

@Jim.

Ventoy has indeed set a high standard in terms of simplicity and compatibility. It’s great to see others appreciate its efficiency as much as I do.

In my humble opinion, the best of all is Ventoy. It’s the simplest, fastest, and most compatible with all OS

Thanks

Hi,

Only Gnome, KDE, and Unity support Drag and Drop; Xfce and LXDE do not support this mode.

Right-click on your ISO file and select ‘copy’. Then, paste it into the drop zone, or use the button to the left or right of the drop zone to paste the complete link of your ISO file. Note: MultiSystem doesn’t support spaces in the ISO file name or its containing folders.

Sorry for my bad English…

Every time I select an ISO, I receive an error stating there’s an illegal character in the file name. However, this seems to be a false error, as renaming the file doesn’t resolve it.

Any suggestions?
