Multi_Boot _USB_Drive - malfoy_G_PIR - 09-25-2013
Hello HC,
Can anyone give me a tool to create a multiboot USB drive? i want to create such usb where i will have windows 7/xp 32/64 bits both also ultimate bootcd too, on same usb and where i will be i will carry it on and when needed will install windows and will have possibility to choose which version/bits i want to install.
I have 2 USB drive with 8GB also have external HDD with 1TB.
I tried to create it by Xboot but did not work.
Thanks in advanced.

Well, I havent done it in windows... but why not just partition the drive, then when you go to install the OS's, install them each in their respective partitions?
Its what ive done with Linux. Ive got 3 Linux operating systems on my external usb drive, then a dual boot Win7/Linux on my laptop. When i boot to the USB drive grub displays all 5 operating systems to choose from. Dont see why that wouldnt work as well with Windows though. Same principles? unless Windows prevents you from installing to removable media?

I created it with using by xboot tool and tried to install windows and sometimes it worked but sometimes had error in half of installing of windows.
I also want to add Linuxs installation image.

Interesting theory and I don't see why it wouldn't work as Windows should see the usb as just another drive. I happen to have a USB drive with some spare space so may attempt this later today.
