Install Kon Boot To Usb
- My drive where my Windows 7 install is Loc 0(Chan 0, Target 0, Lun 0), Steve, wondering based on that if I need to modify your example menu list file for that??? I've tried with kon-boot USB img and the Kon Floppy img, but no luck. I also tried the example in your tutorial included from this site, but no luck either.
- As I said, either re-install a bootmgr boot sector or ask KonBoot. You can boot from a WinPE USB drive to run bootsect - you will probably need the /nt60 /MBR /ALL switches. You will lose the Ubuntu boot and it may give you an unbootable system though! Maybe an alternative solution would be easier - e.g.
4. YUMI
YUMI is created by the same author as Universal USB Installer which is why they both share very similar graphical user interface. The only difference is YUMI allows you to create a bootable USB flash drive with multiple distributions. The steps to create a Kon Boot USB are exactly the same as Universal USB Installer.
Make bootable USB with kon-boot I am running a windows 10 computer and need to make a bootable USB drive and put kon-boot on it that I purchased. Can someone help me get started.
However when booting up a USB drive created by YUMI, you will first see a boot menu. Select “Other Operating Systems and Tools” -> followed by Konboot and finally select “Boot Konboot” from the menu. Kon-Boot will now run and then you will be brought back to YUMI’s boot menu. Now you can select “Continue to Boot from First HD (default)” to boot up Windows and login to any user account without a password.
Download YUMI
5. Kon-Boot USB Installer
This fifth method would most probably work for you if all of the above fails because it uses a different bootloader called GRUB. This Kon-Boot USB installer script is actually the official script provided by the author of Kon-Boot for their paid customers except it is packaged with the FREE version 1.1 and not the paid versions 2.0 or 2.1.
To use it, download the installer from the link below and extract to a new folder. Plug in your USB flash drive to the computer and format it as FAT32 file system. Right click on usb_install_RUNASADMIN.bat file and select “Run as administrator”. You should see a Kon-Boot USB Installer window with the information of your USB drive.
Confirm that your USB flash drive is correctly detected and finally click OK to start installing Kon-Boot to your USB flash drive.

6. Hiren’s BootCD
Hiren’s BootCD is the king of all boot discs containing tons of utilities including Kon-Boot which are very useful to computer technicians, enthusiasts and engineers. Hiren’s BootCD comes as an ISO image which is meant to be burned to a disc but it can also be installed to a USB flash drive using the correct tools, or else some of the utilities will not run properly.
You can either use Universal USB Installer or YUMI which was mentioned earlier to install Hiren’s BootCD on to USB pen stick and then boot it up. At the Hiren’s BootCD menu, simply select Kon-Boot from the list.
Download Hiren’s BootCD
Additional Notes: Although Kon-Boot’s official website stated that the free version doesn’t support Windows 7, we have successfully tested it on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit without problems, but as expected it fails on 64-bit. Another issue we found when testing Kon-Boot USB on Windows XP is only methods #5 and #6 work properly while the rest simply crashes the XP operating system. Looks like GRUB boot loader has better support for Kon-Boot compared to Syslinux.
We’ve also tested the free Kon-Boot on Windows 8 but it didn’t work as it kept on going into automatic repair mode. The latest paid version 2.2 supports Windows 8, comes with a sticky keys feature to launch a command prompt with system privilege before logging in to Windows and support EFI from USB.

I’ve had issues when trying to make a bootable USB drive with Konboot using the “make USB” tool that they provide with the tool. I got it working using ‘Sardu” and/or XBoot to make it :) Hope this helps :)
ReplyI tried all methods are written here. But, still I can’t boot in kon-boot. Its saying “ERROR loading operating system”. Can anyone help me?
ReplyToday I paid $15.99 for usb download, but it’s not working on the pc. I’ve tried entering a new dummy password – doesn’t work. I’ve held down the F11 (boot) key and selected “usb” but that doesn’t work either. I downloaded konboot to 2 different USBs … neither works. Any ideas?
ReplyAre you saying you see the Windows logon screen but it won’t bypass the password or you don’t even get so far as seeing the Kon-Boot screen?
Also, if you just paid for the software you get support from the developer for a short period of time, might as well use it and also direct any issues there as well.
ReplyI am getting this error while booting through unetbootin – pkzip file uses invalid method. Please help.
ReplyCan you still use your own USB stick after using it for kon-boot?
ReplyYes, you certainly can. Just format it again.
