On my tests, I had some difficulties configuring my motherboard (Asus M5A99X EVO) to boot from usb. Here is what I did that worked:<br />
<br />
After accessing the BIOS, on the Boot tab, there is a header called Boot Options Priorities. You should put the usb drive you want to boot on Boot Option #1. Additionally, on Hard Drive BBS Priorities, you should do the same. There is another header below (Boot Override), that should help if your pen drive is listed there amongst the options.<br />
<br />
After setting these options, I was able to boot the pen drives configures by YUMI pretty reliably.<br />

With <a href="http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/">YUMI</a>, you can install multiple operating systems in one drive.<br />

<br />
After booting, the list of available distros is shown and the user is able to choose which one is going to run. It's great to build a drive with the major linux distributions (<a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a>, <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/">Fedora</a>, <a href="http://opensuse/">openSUSE</a>, etc) or special purpose tool (<a href="http://www.kali.org/">Kali Linux</a>, <a href="http://partedmagic.com/">Parted Magic</a>) that you can take with you anywhere you need it.<br />
