Printing a thumbnail view of data discs. This will print all image files, as well as music files that contain album art, as thumbnails with file names. There are only two options yet, if you need more customisability, just let me know.
Verification of video DVDs. While this does not match the user voice request since audio discs can still not be verified, this is as good as it gets, because audio CD verification is not really reasonable from a technical point of view

YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer), is the successor to MultibootISOs

It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. Contrary to MultiBootISO's which used grub to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary

Aside from a few distributions, all files are stored within the Multiboot folder, making for a nicely organized Multiboot Drive that can still be used for other storage purposes

Creating a YUMI Multiboot MultiSystem Bootable USB Flash Drive

YUMI works much like Universal USB Installer, except it can be used to install more than one distribution to run from your USB. Distributions can also be uninstalled using the same tool

How to Create a MultiBoot USB Flash Drive

Run the YUMI .exe file following the onscreen instructions
Run the tool again to Add More ISOs/Distributions to your Drive
Restart your PC setting it to boot from the USB device
Select a distribution to Boot from the Menu and enjoy.

That's all there is to it. You should now be booting your favorite distributions from your custom Multi-Boot USB device.

How It Works

YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) enables each user to create their own custom Multiboot UFD containing only the distributions they want, in the order by which they are installed. A new distribution can be added to the UFD each time the tool is run.

If you run YUMI from the same location you store ISO files, they should be auto-detected (*See Known Issues Below), eliminating the need to browse for each ISO.

Other Notes

If MultibootISOs was previously used, you must reformat the drive and start over. YUMI uses Syslinux directly, and chainloads to grub only if necessary, so it is not compatible with the older Multiboot ISO tool. Although I do plan to add back most of the capabilities of MultibootISOs as time permits.

The distro uninstaller works great, but unlisted ISO's that have been added must currently be manually removed! Also note that not all Unlisted ISO's can be booted (thus adding unlisted ISO's is an unsupported option

What's New

Switch to use Syslinux 6.0.3 to address ERR: Couldn't read the first sector issues
Add Dr.Web LiveDisk. Fix broken System Rescue CD, and HDT option. Update Ubuntu download options
Fix Windows Vista/7/8 and Hiren's options
Update to support Peach OSI
Update to support CAINE and Puppy Arcade
Support for Tails 0.23

Symptoms: You accidentally deleted important files such as your favorite pictures, the report you’ve been working on for months or critical business documents

Solution: TuneUp Undelete restores all your accidentally or mysteriously deleted files and folders, including those that were deleted from the Recycle Bin and even previously deleted images from your digital camera's memory card

You can easily browse all your deleted data or search for one specific file and rescue them from oblivion with TuneUp Undelete, assuming Windows® hasn't overwritten the disk space that was previously occupied by them

TuneUp Undelete restores files in either good or poor condition

• Good condition: If your file is in good condition, chances are good the space it originally occupied on your hard drive hasn’t yet been replaced by another file, and can therefore be easily restored

• Poor condition: If your file is in poor condition, it may be that the space it originally occupied on your hard drive will have been partly overwritten by other files. There is still a chance, however, that at least some of the file can be restored
