If you want to check that the software isworking, click the

‘Test with QEMU’ button.^1 This launches the boot menu

in a simple emulationWindow^2 so you can see that it

works. We found thisvery slow on our PC, but don’t panic – the

finishedversion will perform much better. Shut down QEMU

and loadyour other ISOs.

We also added theKasperskyRescue Disc (bit.ly/

kasp482)^1 by dragging and dropping it into the

Antivirusfolder.^2 This is a particularly usefultool

to have on any multibootingsystem becauseyou can use

it to scan a PCfor viruses without havingto start up the

infected operating system.

Beforeyou can bootyour PC from a USB drive, you ma y

needto change the boot order.This is a setting in the

BIOS or UEFI.Look outfor a messagetelling you howto

enter this whenyou rebootyour PC – it usually involves

pressing a functionkey such as F2 or F8. Find the boot order

section^1 and make sure USB orRemovable Devices is first.^2

8

Now whenyou rebootyour PC with the USB device

connected, it takesyou to the Easy2Boot menu.^1 Here

you can use the arrow keys to navigate tothe optionyou

want. Alternatively, skipto the option using the numberkeys^2

or open the menu using the shortcut.^3 F8 takesyou backto

the main menu.

The de veloper’s we bsite has a thorough guide that

can helpyou if you getstuck, although it’s split over

several pages and can get a bit bogged down with

jargon. It’s worth exploring ifyou ha ve problems, though.Look

out for the quickstart guide, (bit.ly/e2bqs482)^1 the ‘Primer’

page (bit.ly/e2bprim482) and theFAQ (bit.ly/e2bfaq482).

We went straight to the Linux optionto te st Linux

Mint. Because Mintwas the only option in the Linux

menu, it bootedstraight away, displaying thestandard

Linux Mint menu.^1 From herewe could chooseto start the

software immediately.
