Overall, WinSetupFromUSB is pretty simple to use and features a quick write time. It’s also got a QEMU mode, and it’s a small, portable app.

2. MultiBootUSB

Adding multiple bootable OS distros is easy, browse under Select image and choose your ISO. Note that while MutiBootUSB runs on Windows and Linux, you can only create Linux Live USB systems.

MultiBoot USB is lightweight and easy to use
Once you’ve clicked chosen your image, select your desired amount of persistence if you want to be able to save files on the partition, and click Install distro.
Adding Multiple ISOs
A great feature of MultiBootUSB is the addition of QEMU virtualization software, which allows you to test both individual Linux ISOs and your USB stick without restarting the computer.
QEMU is included for testing
For a simple way to put multiple Linux distributions on a USB stick, MultiBootUSB is a great lightweight option.

3. XBoot

The installation of XBoot is pretty straightforward. Double-click the executable file, and it opens in seconds. From there it’s quite simple to add your ISOs – drag and drop them into the main box.

Next, click on the Create USB button. The program will prompt you to select the USB drive that you wish to install the ISOs on and to select the kind of bootloader that you want to use. If your USB stick is formatted to FAT32, XBoot recommends Syslinux. If the USB stick is formatted to NTFS, Grub4DOS is recommended. You could also select Do not install any Bootloader, but since you want the USB stick to be bootable, you’ll probably ignore that.
Click OK and we’re on the way!

X boot also has the same QEMU features, where you can boot a live CD ISO or boot the USB that you just made.

Despite being a slightly more substantial program, XBoot works a little faster than MultiBootUSB. Another nice touch is the ability to download ISO files directly via the XBoot downloader.

4. YUMI: Your Universal Multiboot Installer

YUMI is a well-respected tool, which is not as feature-rich as others in this list but a solid choice for creating multiple booting USB drives.
YUMI has a slightly different workflow. You choose which distro you want from the list, before browsing to the ISO on your hard drive, or following the provided link to the home page of your chosen distro.
YUMI Distro selection menu
Select your distro, in this case, Lubuntu, and locate the ISO on your hard drive.
Installing Lubuntu with YUMI
When you are ready, click Create. It’ll take a few minutes. Then you can repeat the process to add further OS images to your drive.
Additionally, YUMI doesn’t have the QEMU tools of MultiBootUSB or XBoot. What it does have, is the support of countless network administrators and tech workers who use it in their daily work lives!
