    USB multiboot Windows 7 x86 and Windows 7 x64

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted · Edited by zetan

    Hi to all,

    I try to put the Win7_x86 and Win7_x64 installer on the same usb key. My main problem is that they both use 'bootmgr'. For Grub4dos to differentiate, I placed the two installers in separate folders. Now my problem is that I don't know what to write in menu.lst. Let say I've put the Win7_x68 installer in a folder named W786. Installation starts fine but real soon it hangs and I am told a particular file in /boot/the_name_of_the_file does not exist. It's normal because now the file is in /W786/boot/the_name_of_the_file. So is there a way to force, by using Grub4dos, a new 'root folder' for the installation. If so, waht should be put in menu.lst?

    I came across this post by Wimb:

    There is no need to make multiple partitions on your USB-stick.

    Vista Setup Source can be located in a folder on USB-stick so that it does not interfere with other Setup Sources like folders with Vista x64 or Windows 7 Setup Source.

    Booting in 40 sec with pe21.iso loaded by GRUB4DOS from HD into RAMDISK X:

    allows then to Launch Vista or Windows 7 Setup.exe from folder on USB-stick.

    That's what I'm looking for but I don't understand the third sentence: "Booting in 40 sec with pe21.iso loaded by GRUB4DOS from HD into RAMDISK X:".

    Last thing, the link for the topic 5306 is broken. Maybe my answer is in this topic. Is there a way to retrieve the info. TOPIC FIXED. Maybe server was down...

    Thanks for any help,

    Zetan
