Multi Installer BOOT HDD, WINXP & Win7, And Linux?

[Oliverbomb]

Hey, so once upon a time... I had a spare 320 GB HDD Drive, with no use.

So I came to the idea, to make an external HDD of it, and put all my software on it.

And so I did, I made 3 folders. GAMES, OS, and SOFTWARE

So I putted all the installation DVD's, CD's, etc. on it, and when I was done, I wanted to make the OS folder an Multi Installer...

And then you start to google, google, google, you come around MSFN! And you think: Oh crap I totally forgot to look at MSFN.

But.... searching reading, getting tired, makes me want to start my own topic and so Here i Am!

What I have and what I want.

- There's an tool here, WINSETUPFROMUSBWITHGUI... can you make an multi installer boot USB HDD there? With the following Operation Systems:

XP HOME OEM

XP HOME RETAIL

XP PRO OEM

XP PRO RETAIL

XP MCE OEM

WIN7 32BIT

WIN7 64BIT

If not? Is this possible? Somehow around? Thank you!

Is there ANY difficult part in:

Here comes the first GUI for our little project.

What it can be used for adding to your USB stick/disk:

- multiple Windows XP/2kX sources in the same partition (up to 10 99 with vers. 1.0). They have to be in the first(no longer applies to 1.0 versions) any primary partition of the USB disk if hard disk type. If USB stick- Windows will not see any other partitions, but the first one, so you are restricted to it anyway.

Existing folders ~BT and ~LS and TXTSETUP.SIF will be renamed, and SETUPLDR.BIN and SETUPDD.SYS patched against the new names. Checksum checks are also corrected.(no longer applies to 1.0 versions). BTS OEM folders are supported and renamed accordingly.

- BartPE/WinBulder/UBCD4Win/WinFLPC (NOT ramdisk versions) to any primary partition. Multiple BartPE for example, in the SAME partition are NOT supported. Neither is the mix of them on a single partition.

- Vista/Windows 7/Server 2008 setup to different primary partitions. Multiple Vista sources in the SAME partition are NOT supported. Place your second Vista/7/Server 2008 setup in another partition. It can be placed on any primary partition.

- PartedMagic, a friendly Linux distro, which includes GParted- open source partition manager.

- Other grub4dos CD emulation compatible ISO. Refer to this topic for list of examples:

- SyLinux bootsector as a file, and optionally a directory, containing (Linux) distro booting off SysLinux. For example you may extract UBCD411.ISO, and point it to this folder. Entire contents will be copied and entry for SysLinux bootsector file will be added to the grub4dos boot menu.

It is, however, you'll need a Windows 7 ISO that has both x86 and x64 on it. Otherwise, you'll have to start partitioning the drive and... yeah. Just get the AIO Windows 7 disc. The rest is natively supported within the program.

...Just get the AIO Windows 7 disc...
