First I made a bootable USB from my ISO file with Windows and let boot camp make the partition and restart the computer. I have tried using bootcamp to run Windows 8.1 on a partition of the drive. The disk I'm using is a new "Samsung 850 EVO Series 250 GB" SSD.

What am I supposed to do from here? Do I have to manually create USB installs on all the partitions then add them to the bootloader? Does the software provide means to unpack these ISOs on their respective paritions? Or am I supposed to throw the ISOs on there whole and do something with the software to make them boot? This software is really confusing as to what exactly it does and can do.So I got a 2011 MacBook Pro, running Yosemite version 10.10.2. There is the Partition Image Mapper which I’m not sure what it’s supposed to do but there are only 4 possibles entries in there which is insufficient. If I try to use the Integration tab, the software seems to attempt to unpack the ISOs to the 8mb partition I created for the bootloader so I guess that’s not the way to do it. So I followed these instructions and successfully installed the legacy bootloader. I want the Windows 7 installer and Lubuntu to be able to boot in legacy mode.

I’m trying to create a USB drive that has the Windows 10 installer, the Windows 7 installer, Lubuntu, BitDefender and the Mac OS installer on it.

Select Install Grub2 (Legacy) from the Tools button.This is a new feature of AIO Boot v0.9.8.1. It supports installing Grub2 on the GPT hard disk to boot in Legacy BIOS mode without creating a boot partition.
Run AIOCreator.exe, select Grub2 from Bootloaders.
The tool will list the partitions that you created in step 2.
The grub-install, grub-bios-setup command on Linux and the grub-install.exe, grub-bios-setup.exe program on Windows require a boot partition on the GPT disk to install Grub2 for the Legacy BIOS mode.Install AIO Boot to a partition on GPT disks.Windows Boot Manager does not support booting into Legacy BIOS mode on GPT disks. After installing Grub2, you can boot the GPT disk in Legacy BIOS mode.
#BOOTABLE MAC USB SHOULD BE GPT HOW TO#
You can only create partitions up to 2TB on MBR disks, if you need to create partitions larger than 2TB or the total size of partitions on disks larger than 4TB, use GPT instead of MBR. For 3TB and 4TB hard drives, you can create multiple partitions with full disk space without having to convert the MBR to GPT, see how to partition a 4TB hard drive.ĪIO Boot now supports installing Grub2 on GPT disks including both HDD and USB. However, there are several reasons that you must use GPT instead of MBR. So far, MBR is still supported in both UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot. Microsoft also does not support booting Windows on a GPT hard disk in Legacy BIOS mode. However, in some ways, you can still install Windows on a GPT hard drive even if your computer only supports Legacy BIOS mode. However, there are also some issues with GPT booting in Legacy BIOS mode. GPT is part of the EFI specification, of course it will work best in UEFI mode. But maybe it will not be compatible and can not boot up on the BIOS computer, see more here. GPT is modern and has many advantages over MBR.
