I built a multiboot USB using YUMI, containing various bootable options such as Ubuntu with persistent storage, Windows Vista/7/8 40-in-1 installers, and numerous Linux diagnostic tools. FAT32 was initially chosen for compatibility, but the ~4GiB size limit of Windows installers prevents it from fitting properly. After updating to the latest Ubuntu version, the drive now restarts when booting live USB. This suggests an issue with the Ubuntu installation on NTFS rather than a general problem. For better performance and stability, consider switching to exFAT or NTFS if possible, or verify the installation settings. Other tools remain functional.

Have you explored exFAT? It offers a different maximum size limit compared to FAT32.

I examined it, but my main limitation is that somewhere I checked (Ubuntu forums?), they mentioned Ubuntu doesn't support exFAT. Still, I'm willing to try.
