    Bootable ISO freeware

    Is there any?

    I like to keep on hand bootable troubleshooting DVDs. Ideally, rather than a bunch of individual ones, I like one or two of the "multi-boot" sort, where multiple bootable ISO images are incorporated and accessible to choose from upon boot. There used to be half a dozen or more totally free programs capable of easily producing such things, but now they all seem to be crippleware.

    Are there any that are actually free and actually work?

    You can install Windows 10 to a bootable USB (but you need a particular type of USB). You can create a bootable DVD/USB that will allow you to troubleshoot a Win10 install

    Otherwise you can install Hiren's Boot Tools to a bootable DVD/USB, and most flavours of Linux allow you to create a bootable DVD/USB.

      I dont know about free, but I have Acronis Truimage and Disk Director, (basically a backup program and disk manager, fixer program) that allow me to create a bootable CD or USB stick that I can use if my computer dies. I can format drives, make partitions, clone drives, backup and restore disks. It's sweet and definitely worth the money. has a free trial, so you might be able to create the bootable disc and it could keep working even after the desktop software trial expires.

        It's not hard to make a bootable DVD from a downloaded ISO image. What I'm having trouble finding is a free program that will take multiple ISO images and consolidate them on a single DVD, allowing the user to choose from among them at boot. As recently as several months ago, there were several such programs. Now I can't find any that are not significantly "crippled" in their free versions.

            Closest I have seen to that is Virtual Clone Drive - https://www.redfox.bz/en/virtual-clonedrive.html
            It creates a virtual DVD drive and lets you load ISO images on it and run them, but of course you could not BOOT into them since you have to run virtual clone drive from windows first. To do that you would basically just need a virtual PC set up, which already has a virtual drive that you can have boot an ISO image when you boot it.
