Guide lines for using XBoot
1) This software requires .NET framework vs 4 so install it before using this software.
you can download .NET framework vs 4 from here:.NET framework vs 4
2) If you are creating Multiboot USB :
a) FAT32 is the highly recommended file-system format for Creating Multiboot USB. FAT32 is supported by
all ISO files while same cannot be said about other formats like NTFS etc.
Caution:
If you are using NTFS format then be careful Some linux distros don't support booting from NTFS
partitions.So NTFS is not a good choice for multibooting. Also XBOOT will not check if a particular iso
file supports booting from NTFS partition or not , that should be taken care by the user.To be on safe
avoid NTFS and always use FAT32.
If you are worried about the size limitation of FAT32 partition , and wants large partition size , then
please use RPprepUSB tool . It can create FAT32 partitions up to 2TB as mentioned by the Author of
this software.

FYI - RMPrepUSB can format a 64GB FAT32 drive, it has no FAT32 size limitation (up to 2TB I think but never tested!)
b) For USB device USB-HDD is the recomended format, though others( USB-FDD ,USB-ZIP) are supported too.
3) Sometimes Multiboot USB\ISO doesn't work on vmware, virtualbox, qemu etc. but works on real PC. So If you
are testing Multiboot USB\ISO on vmware,virtualbox, qemu etc. and it didn't boot .Then please do check it
again on Real PC.
4) Only Supported ISO file will works.
