Having two ISO's on one 16GB Cruzer


Recommended Posts

What I have is a 16GB Sandisk Cruzer USB and what I want to do is take two ISO's, Hiren's Ultimate Boot CD and a multi install XP DVD, and be able to choose ether to boot off of. It would make things very easy to ether boot to the XP install dvd to restore a unit or the Hiren's CD when I just need to remove spyware and such.

I might even want to make a third option to a USB dedicated XP so I may get into the hard drive.

I have searched all over the internet and haven't found much info on doing this kind of thing, of course I might just be misunderstanding some information.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Actually this is an interesting question.

I'd like to know if anyone has created a way to boot from an iso on a usb drive.

I could see benefits in this. Like when creating an entire multiboot DVD with all of your OSes and Bart etc on it. The ISO can be optimized so you could cram 20 GB worth of files into like 4GB. Which would be very cool. I think it is possible with BCDW isn't it? But not on a usb drive?

Not until we have a bootable NT based "filedisk" driver or a a free bootable Ramdisk with bigger capacity (and LOTS of RAM):

I haven't seen definitive reports about Gavotte's RRamdisk.
