如果您从事 IT 工作或提供自己的 IT 服务，您可能会经常为客户安装和重新安装操作系统。传统上，操作系统安装直接从操作系统安装光盘部署，但由于光盘很容易被划伤或损坏，大多数 IT 人员使用USB驱动器。这是一种更有效的方法，但它仍然有一个缺点，类似于使用光盘。
主要是，USB驱动器比光盘更可靠、更有效，但与光盘一样，大多数USB驱动器都是专用的。因为每个客户端可能有不同的操作系统偏好，您可能必须随机部署几个不同的操作系统。例如，一个客户可能希望全新安装Windows 7 Ultimate，而另一个客户可能希望您为他们安装Ubuntu。
通常，这涉及拥有多个USB驱动器，您可能有一个Windows 7引导驱动器、一个Ubuntu引导驱动器、一个CentOS引导驱动器等……如果您想减少所有驱动器，您可以将可引导操作系统(OSs)整合为一个可用于部署多个不同操作系统的USB驱动器。(USB)
创建多操作系统可启动闪存驱动器(Create Multi OS Bootable Flash Drive)
有几种方法可以设置USB驱动器来启动多个操作系统，但最简单的方法之一是使用YUMI程序。因此，要开始使用，请跳转到YUMI 下载页面(YUMI downloads page)并继续下载最新版本。
下载完成后，继续启动软件。您将看到以下屏幕：
如上所述，第一步是为您的USB设备选择驱动器号。在Windows中，您通常需要选择E:驱动器，但这可能会因您的Windows驱动器的结构而异。因此，首先将USB驱动器插入计算机并导航路径Start > Computer。这将为您提供所有活动驱动器的视图，您可以在其中简单地确定USB驱动器的驱动器号。
从上面的屏幕截图可以看出，Windows已将USB驱动器检测为可移动磁盘(Disk)( E :)。同样(Again)，您的USB驱动器可能会分配不同的驱动器号，具体取决于您的Windows设置和您使用的其他设备（外部硬盘驱动器、USB驱动器等）。
鉴于计算机(Computer)窗格中的上述信息，您现在可以从YUMI 步骤 1：选择驱动器中选择您的(YUMI Step 1: Select the Drive…)USB驱动器...(USB)
接下来，在第 2 步：列表下，您需要选择要添加到USB驱动器的第一个发行版。YUMI软件配置了多个发行版，从标准Linux安装(Linux)ISO到(ISOs)专业实用程序。对于本教程，我们将简单地选择标准的Windows 8安装：
从列表中选择发行版后，您需要导航到该发行版的实际ISO文件（步骤 3(Step 3)）。这可能是您下载的 ISO，或者是您从光盘创建或翻录的ISO文件。(ISO)对于本教程，我选择了Windows 8 Consumer Release ISO。
最后，单击创建(Create)按钮开始使ISO可引导并将其存储到USB驱动器。从这里，YUMI应用程序将处理并开始创建可启动发行版。
该过程完成后，单击“下一步”(Next)按钮，该按钮将提示以下窗口：
从这里，您只需单击“是”(Yes)按钮，这将返回到YUMI开始页面，您可以使用上述步骤添加另一个可启动发行版。
使用所有启动选项完成USB驱动器配置后，您只需重新启动计算机并从USB驱动器启动。从那里，您将看到YUMI界面，它允许您选择要启动的发行版。
基本上就是这样。现在您可以使用一个能够启动多个发行版和程序的USB驱动器！(USB)虽然本教程旨在创建一个能够启动多个操作系统的可启动USB驱动器，但(USB)YUMI程序也可用于启动脱机防病毒程序、光盘克隆实用程序、诊断和其他实用程序。感谢(Thank)您访问该网站以获取今天的帖子。如果我们的网站访问者知道任何与YUMI类似的程序，请随时在评论部分链接到他们。享受！
Create a Multi Operating System Bootable USB Flash Drive
If you work in IT or offer your own IT serνіces, you probably install and reinstall operating systems for clients quite often. Traditionally, operating system installs have been deployed directly frоm an OS install disc, but because discs get scratched or damaged so еasily, most people in IT use USB drives. This is a mоre effective method, but it still has one con, similar to using discs.
Mainly, USB drives are more reliable and effective than discs, but like discs, most USB drives are singularly purposed. Because each client may have a different operating system preference, you may have to deploy several different operating systems at random times. For example, one client may want a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate and another client may want you to install Ubuntu for them.
Usually, this involves owning several USB drives, you may have a Windows 7 boot drive, a Ubuntu boot drive, a CentOS boot drive, etc… If you want to cut down on all of the drives, you can consolidate your bootable OSs into one USB drive that can be used to deploy multiple, different operating systems.
Create Multi OS Bootable Flash Drive
There are a few ways that you can setup a USB drive to boot multiple operating systems, but one of the simplest ways is to utilize the program YUMI. So, to get started, jump to the YUMI downloads page and proceed to download the most current version.
Once the download is complete, proceed to launch the software. You will be presented with the following screen:
As described, the first step is to select the drive letter for your USB device. In Windows, you will usually want to select the E: drive, but this can differ depending on how you have your Windows drives structured. So, start by plugging in your USB drive to your computer and navigating the path Start > Computer. This will give you a view of all your active drives, in which you can simply determine the drive letter for your USB drive.
As you can tell from the above screenshot, Windows has detected the USB drive as Removable Disk (E:). Again, your USB drive may be assigned a different drive letter, depending on your Windows setup and the other devices that you use (external hard drives, USB drives, etc…).
Given the above information in the Computer pane, you can now select your USB drive from the YUMI Step 1: Select the Drive…
Next, under the Step 2: listing, you will need to select your first distribution to add to the USB drive. The YUMI software comes configured with several distributions, anything from standard Linux installation ISOs to specialty utilities. For this tutorial, we will simply be choosing a standard Windows 8 install:
Once you’ve selected a distro from the list, you will need to navigate to the actual ISO file (Step 3) for that distro. This may be an ISO that you’ve downloaded, or an ISO file that you’ve created or ripped from a disc. For this tutorial, I’ve selected a Windows 8 Consumer Release ISO.
Finally, click the Create button to begin making the ISO bootable and storing it to the USB drive. From here, the YUMI app will process and begin creating the bootable distro.
Once the process completes, click the Next button which will prompt the following window:
From here, you can simply click the Yes button, which will return you to the YUMI start page, where you can add another bootable distro, using the above steps.
Once you’ve completed configuring your USB drive with all of your boot options, you will need to simply restart your computer and boot from the USB drive. From there, you will be presented with the YUMI interface, which will allow you to select a distro to boot into.
That’s basically all there is to it. Now you can utilize one USB drive that is capable of booting multiple distros and programs! Although this tutorial is purposed for creating a bootable USB drive capable of booting multiple operating systems, the YUMI program can also be used to boot offline antivirus programs, disc cloning utilities, diagnostic and other utilities.
