Multi OS USB Drive

[vegettoxp]

Hello there Guys, I just finished trying out installing Win 7 from Flash Drive, Freaken Sweet. So Fast! So now I wanted to take my project up to the next step. Now I wanted to Create A Flash Drive With Windows XP Pro, Vista and Win 7. I know how to make the USB Bootbable, but what I don't know is, How do I create a Menu to Choose what OS to install. I think you guys understand what I am trying to do. Have a Main-Menu with the Listed OS to Install.

So if you guys can point me to the right direction on How can I do this, it would really help me out Big Time. Also On the Flash Drive, Do I just create a Folder for Each OS?

Thank you for all youe Help Guys!

Josh :welcome:

you only need to put all the needed files in a folder while not mixing anything else up. then install a bootloader of choice to the disk and its mbr. create the bootloader configuration (pretty straight forward for every bootloader after you did it once). then pray the loaded kernel doesn't want to access its stuff from the root level but can work out of a folder ^^

bootloaders are for example grub4dos, syslinux, grub, lilo...

If your drive stops working when trying to do this, be sure to check out the article on recovering broken flash drives I posted on this thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=4115700&posted=1#post4115700). Comes in handy when you are in the verge of throwing in the trash cause it isnt recognized when plugging it in :up:

Hak5 did this where you can use grub to directly boot isos, imgs etc
