Multiboot from USB formatted NTFS drive

[andysideas]

Sorry if this has already been asked.

I am looking to multiboot using my external usb drive. It's formatted using NTFS.

I've been looking around and so far I can only see examples of booting a usb pen drive that is formatted using FAT32.

Anyone know of a way to do this?

There is NO difference in booting with a NTFS formatted drive.

Problem might be that some motherboard's BIOS do not allow it.

Of course if using a Flash drive, NTFS is NOT suggested due to wear problems.

This, the 911CD and boot-land.net boards are FULL of threads detailing different procedures to boot from USB, if you can be more specific on what you want to do, I can give you some links and possibly help you in the procedure.

The most straightforward way is to use grub4dos grldr as an entry in your BOOT.INI, but there are other methods too.
