The best USB Startup Disc creator on the planet is UNETBOOTIN.
The best one for creating a Startup USB with multiple ISOs on it, is
YUMI.
You need not search further. They are the best ones. Very easy to use.
They all work on a similar principle, you have to select the
distribution, browse to locate the ISO, and off you go.
I have noticed that on rare occasions (depending on your timing), when a
new release of the distro comes out, you may need to download the new
version of UNETBOOTIN or YUMI, or the created ISO may not work. So, if
it doesn't work, and it was in the list, just download the updated
version. Which, sometimes, follows days later.
CLOSE THIS THREAD. IT'S OLD. VERY OLD.

Title:
Startup Disk Creator behavior
Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
"erase entire disk" is a handy inclusion, potentially saving the use in parallel of gPartEd.
USB Startup Disk Creator wipes off ALL partitions when you use the format function, and re-creates a new partition structure.
This is simply wrong, because we don't use 1GB flash disks anymore -
they are 4, 8, 16! And who wants to dedicate a 16GB usb stick for a
1DB distro? (oh,. and the util doesn't let you set aside more than
4GB anyways for data - and that's kind of useless, because we usually
will use the remainder of a larger usb stick for other stuff than
session saving).
This app would be far more useful if it allowed you to keep partitions
as-is - the checkbox "erase entire disk" should be relabelled as
"reformat sdb1" and perform that function instead.
As it is now, it is labelled properly, but an intelligent individual
assumes "nawwww... they surely wouldn't erase an entire 16GB usb drive
for a 1GB distro! it'll leave the other partition alone... lets check
the box"...! LOL
I lost of 5.5 GB of data.
