This program mentioned (in the vid) lets you make a bootable USB that you can copy ISO files to, lets you choose an ISO at boot and boot from it. Want to change what ISO's you have on the USB, no problem. Ever wanted to carry a cd folder worth of bootable CD/DVD's on a USB? Now you can!

Thought this might come in handy for people who have older HDD's and SSD's.

I know this is something that bothers A LOT of people. So, I thought that this was a "must share".

I thought this one might be helpful while the software is still available.
