    Hi there guys I have Asus G750JS with Windows 8.1. With GPT UEFI. I have created multi boot iso with xboot. How should I create bootable usb that will work with my system. Also tell me if I need to enable/disable fast boot or csm. Thanks

    Any tool that create GPT/UEFI supported multi boot ISO. I am using Xboot that creates MBR/Bios supported ISOs only.

    CSM allows for the legacy type of booting so that's what you will want to do. I take you can enter the BIOS ok?

    I can get to BIOS and I am seeing my USB with UEFI prefix in boot order and in advance system restart. I also disable fast boot. But still not booting from the USB :(

    Don't boot it via uefi, boot the regular listing as you said you created it to standard boot.

    Choose the listing without UEFI in the name if that option is there.

    The option comes with UEFI only, not without it.

    I created macrium rescue usb, it boots from it with no problems. But I wanted to create multi boot usb with all tools in one usb.

    Look for an alternative tool or a guide for the one you are using? Perhaps it needs tweaking.
