USB key syslinux does not boot

Bonsoir, j'ai suivi ce tuto: http://pr-nizar.blogspot.com/2013/04/multiboot-usb-syslinux.html
pour faire une clé USB multiboot et utiliser Syslinux comme chargeur d'amorçage. Dans /media/disque/syslinux/iso, j'ai créé un dossier gparted, puis dans ce dossier, j'ai copié l'intégralité de mon ISO bootable. Après, dans /media/disque/syslinux, j'ai créé syslinux.cfg contenant ceci: 

 DEFAULT vesamenu.c3 2PROMPT 0 allowoptions 0 TIMEOUT 100 UI vesamenu.c32 MENU TITLE disque: The Ultimate Disk MENU BACKGROUND fond.png MENU COLOR border 30;44 #40ffffff #a0000000 std MENU COLOR title 1;36;44 #9033ccff #a0000000 std MENU COLOR sel 7;37;40 #e0ffffff #20ffffff all MENU COLOR unsel 37;44 #50ffffff #a0000000 std MENU COLOR help 37;40 #c0ffffff #a0000000 std MENU COLOR timeout_msg 37;40 #80ffffff #00000000 std MENU COLOR timeout 1;37;40 #c0ffffff #00000000 std MENU COLOR msg07 37;40 #90ffffff #a0000000 std MENU COLOR tabmsg 31;40 #30ffffff #00000000 std MENU WIDTH 80 MENU MARGIN 10 MENU ROWS 6 MENU VSHIFT 10 MENU TIMEOUTROW 13 MENU TABMSGROW 18 MENU CMDLINEROW 11 MENU HELPMSGROW 16 MENU HELPMSGENDROW 29 LABEL GParted MENU LABEL GParted kernel /syslinux/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz append initrd=/syslinux/iso/gparted/live/initrd.img live-media-path=/syslinux/iso/gparted/live boot=live union=overlay username=user config components quiet noswap ip= net.ifnames=0 nosplash LABEL Reboot MENU LABEL Reboot COM32 reboot.c32


Au redémarrage du PC, dans les paramètres du bios, je sélectionne ma clé USB dans la catégorie boot, mais après le chargement du bios, j'ai un écran noir avec " _ " qui clignote (sans les guillemets), mais rien de plus. Je suis sous Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64, syslinux version 6.04, clé USB de 16 Go. Savez-vous d'où peut venir ce problème? SySlinux ne s'amorce pas tout seul? Syslinux mal rédigé? ou autre? Merci de l'attention que vous portez.

Good evening,

You are not using the simplest tool...

Download the ISO file of Ubuntu 19.04 here http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/19.04/

and burn it onto a USB drive of more than 4GB using the software "Rufus" https://rufus.ie/fr_FR.html

Also read the explanations below... it works every time.

However, we are lacking a bit of info... about your hardware.

What type of processor is used... Intel, AMD, 32 bits, 64 bits, the age of the PC or its model, we need to know if you Boot in Legacy or Secure UEFI...

For dual boot, you need to use Grub https://lecrabeinfo.net/installer-ubuntu-20-04-lts-dual-boot-windows-10.html
Or also use the Windows boot manager..

Here’s a brief overview.

Thank you for your quick response. It is true that I forgot to specify that it's a Fujitsu MI3W-D2812 PC and the processor is an Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8500 3.16GHz, and it has a LEGACY BIOS. However, regarding "and you burn it to a USB stick of more than 4GB using the software 'Rufus'," I think I expressed myself poorly. I am creating my USB stick under Ubuntu 19.04, and on it, I want to put only the GParted image to test first. Then, when I have my boot screen, I will add the images of Ubuntu and Fedora.

But Gparted is integrated into Ubuntu, I don't see the usefulness...
and Ubuntu creates a dual boot on its own, with GRUB-2 it will automatically detect Fedora and set up the dual boot for you.

Fedora... good luck...

What I do is a bootable USB drive, in other words, live operating systems, that's the purpose.

Hi,

There's no need to reinvent the wheel, there's MultiSystem: Create your MultiBoot LiveUSB easily ;-)

Very well @zipe31 I admit that I only knew about "Easy2boot"... and Grub

The problem so far has been the lack of universality... Depending on UEFI or not... and AMD or Intel CPU... 32 bits or 64... which forced the need to have at least two versions of the same USB key.

I will test this multiSystem, if it works everywhere, that's wonderful. There are still some manipulations for creation with a risk of making mistakes... But with meticulousness, it can be done.
Thank you for sharing this.

Hello, thanks to @jeannets I did it with grub by following the tutorial:
http://pr-nizar.blogspot.com/2015/04/usb-multiboot-grub-windows-kali-ubuntu.html#up
And it works. At first, I had an error "this is not bootable disk" and I fixed it by cleaning my USB stick with AOMEI standard partition (free) because with the command: 
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
the disk refused to boot while with AOMEI the cleaning was quicker and the boot works, it's a pity that this tool is only available on Windows.
Then thanks to @zipe31 for your response about Multisystem, I know it by name but I didn't really dare to use it because I've heard both good and bad about compatibility issues but thanks anyway.
