    Excellent tool for working with ISO images. Reliable, proven by generations of system administrators, so to speak. Remains one of the most sought after, despite many small flaws, which some competitors at the top of the list of alternatives seem to have less of, still remains the best solution for me when I need to work with important data.

    SharpBoot is a small utility for creating multiboot ISO or USB. You just need to drag-n-drop some iso files inside, and it automatically adds description and category (for supported ISO files, not shown in the screenshot). It uses Syslinux for the menu and bootloader.
