If you have copied the Kali ISO file to an Easy2Boot USB multiboot drive, then you can use the Install option by mounting the 4th partition as follows

When the CD-ROM is not detected, choose 'No' 'No' <Continue>, and choose the Shell menu option, then type ls /dev/ to find sdx4 (usually sdb4) and then type
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/sdb4 /cdrom
and check if successful using mount command - then type
exit
and proceed with install.

None of the listed solved my problem, but I did find a solution.
I was using Windows 10 to create the USB install created with Universal USB Installer, but was using the default NTFS.
By formatting the USB to fat32, it worked perfectly. The install recognized the cdrom even without the removing and reinserting USB trick.
