Just to add to my above comment I would also like to add FreeDOS to the list, for a quad-boot flash drive, is this possible?

Did I get something wrong? This article is not about a Multiboot USB stick, it is a multiinstaller USB stick, if at all 4.

@Techland You are absolutely right !! Instead of having two separate DVDs, now we get a single USB to install either Win 7 or XP. 5.

I am also wondering what .iso or .bin image I should be pointing the software to in step 4D. I am encountering two errors when using the flash drive to install XP. On desktops with SATA drives I receive a blue screen immediately after loading the drivers and going to start windows. On two laptops I am able to start setup but the only drive that shows up is the flash drive. Any ideas? Thank you so much for creating this!

Hi friends, pls keep in mind that this chat is not a PLACE FOR requests for new features/bootable drives. Let us keep discussing the above guide and its features and thank the writer. Nearly all of us, including me, have diverse needs. But for that part, google is always there. Lets not over-crowd THIS ARTICLE by submitting new requests here. 23.

Hi, I am new to this multi boot world. Ive read a lot on the internet but couldnt understand how to do it in my way. I want bootable USB drive with the follow options. 1. 2. 3. 4. Install Windows XP Install Windows 7 Run Chrome OS Boot Normally
When I select option 1 it should start installation of XP on my hard drive (not running Live XP on my USB). When I select option 2 it should start installation of Win7 (again not running Live Win7 from Windows 7). When I select option 3 it should start RUNNING (not installing) chrome os from USB (i.e. just like a live image of any OS). When I select option 4 it should proceed to boot normally i.e. whatever is installed on my hard drive. Thanks in advance for your help. 24.
