I suggest using the free YUM1I tool, which is a free tool designed to create bootable USB drives that can hold multiple operating systems, utilities, and diagnostic tools. It is particularly popular for creating multiboot USBs, allowing users to store and boot from multiple ISO files on a single USB drive. 

YUM1I allows you to add multiple ISO files to a single USB drive, making it possible to boot into Hiren Boot CD alongside other tools like antivirus rescue disks, Linux distributions, or Windows installation media. This is especially useful for IT professionals or advanced users who need a single USB for multiple purposes.

  1. Plug in your USB drive (ensure it’s at least 8GB and backup any data, as it will be erased).
  2. Launch the app and select your USB drive under the "Step 1" dropdown. Under "Step 2," select "Hiren  Boot CD" from the list of distributions. Click "Browse" and select the Hiren  Boot CD ISO file you downloaded.
  3. Check the box for "Format X:\ Drive (Erase Content)" if this is your first time using the USB. Click "Create" and wait for the process to complete.
  4. Restart your PC, enter the BIOS/UEFI settings, and set the USB as the primary boot device.

In fact, YUM1I is an excellent choice for creating a Hiren Boot CD bootable USB, especially if you want the flexibility of adding more tools to the same drive. Let me know if you need further guidance!
