Put Super Grub2 Disk into an usb pendrive as an ISO image from Gnu/Linux

  1. I installed Super Grub Disk2 onto a thumb drive and set the bios to see it as the primary boot device.
    Happy to say this works great. Allows me to dual boot into either Windows 7 or Windows 10 just fine. Quite pleased since some of my most critical software will now work on Win 10.

    1 problem and on thought. I cannot use the dual boot if I tell the computer to RESTART. Using RESTART from either operating systems will fail to recognize the keyboard. Must go to SHUTDOWN the restart the machine. Just a learning curve, not a real problem.

    Thought: The program has many more options that I need. Can it be configured to open directly on “Manual Boot” and then go directly to the “operating systems” selection. This would keep me from going through all the menu selections just to boot the machine.

    1. The main usage of the disk is to be able to boot into your machine when something it’s wrong.
      Then you are supposed to fix it permanently from your installed OS.

      In other words you are not supposed to use the disk in a daily basis.
