Live Linux Multiboot 160GB USB Hard Drive With Lots of OS, Software and UtilitiesThis bootable 160GB USB hard drive is packed full of Linux 32-Bit and 64-Bit operating systems, including standard OS and specialty OS for system diagnostics, rescue and recovery, hard drive cloning, partitioning, backup. In addition to bootable live Linux distros, there are additional ISOs saved on the hard drive which you can burn to a DVD or thumb drive. Windows 7 and 10 has built in ability to burn ISOs to DVD, and we have included Rufus so you can make bootable thumb drives to run them from, Yumi to make multiboot thumb drives of live linux distros.
This hard drive allows you to try out Linux operating systems without installing them on your main hard drive, which you can do later once you have found your favorite. The specialty Linux distros, like Hirens and Parted Magic, gives you lots of useful utilities to get any Windows or Linux system up and running again.
To boot from the USB hard drive you need to know how to either access your BIOS to change the boot order, or bring up the Boot options menu before booting onto your hard drive. On a Dell it is F2 key to enter Bios and F12 to bring up the one-time boot options menu, but you need to know which key does it on yours. Once you boot from USB device you will have a menu that will allow you to run any of the live distros below - they run from the USB hard drive in memory. If you decide to install one or more of the Linux OS onto your hard drive you have that option.
PLEASE NOTE:
It has come to our attention that some buyers do not understand that Linux is an alternative OS to Windows and cannot be run from Windows. Unless you know how to tell your computer to boot from this hard drive instead of your main hard drive, you will not be able to run any of the Live Bootable Live Linux OS.
Fully tested on Dell, HP and Lenovo computers, but not all distros run on all computers. You may have to make changes to your BIOS. Also, on some computers you will have to disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Support before being able to boot to this hard drive.
