Well what is the selected path and does it contain spaces?

If so then rename the folder and remove any spaces in the name

e.g. C:My pathMy file.iso should be changed to C:My_PathMy_File.iso

e.g. "C:My path" should be changed to "C:My_Path"

i.e. rename the folder so it does not have any spaces in the name.

first of all here is a picture of the error http://www.msfn.org/...b-multiboot-10/
second when you press to make the path you don't write a path, it gives this little menu that shows 'Your Computer" and you go and locate your folder. you can't write

Is this correct...
You press 1
  • Then you can select a folder
  • You select a folder
  • It gives an error.

So what I am asking is What is the name (full path) of the folder that you selected?

well there is a space between the word My and the word Documents and the utility does not cope with spaces in folders - which is what it tells you.
You cannot use a folder or path which has spaces in it.
So please copy the contents of the ISO to another folder (e.g. C:ISO1) and then run the utility again and point it to C:ISO1.

Look - can you get a grown up to help you?

1. Click on Start Menu - My Computer
2. Double-click on C: drive to open it in Explorer
3. Right-click and use the mouse to select New - Folder
4. Change the name of the new folder to ISO1
5. Open My Documents from the start menu and find your Windows folder at C:Documents and SettingsownerMy documentsWindows
6. Select all the files and folders in the C:Documents and SettingsownerMy documentsWindows folder and right-click and choose CUT
7. Now go to the C:ISO1 folder and right-click and choose PASTE

Now all the files are in C:ISO1

Now run the usb_multiboot.exe again and press 1 - browse to the C:ISO1 folder and select it from My Computer - C: - ISO1 - now it should work.

Please can you give some details in your questions?
What make, model, capacity is 'your usb'
How did you format it?
What format options did you choose?
Can you see the 'usb drive' in Explorer?
If so, can you create a new file on it and see if it the file is present (in Explorer).
