I want to set up a multi boot.......on a flash drive.
Had no idea were to put this so I posted the question here. Recently I have had more bootable recovery programs than flash drives so i was wondering to myself if it is possible to set up a massive multiboot flash drive.
Now I would like to know if it is possible and how hard it would be to partition a flash drive. If it is possible i would like to set up 4 partitions as i believe that is the max that the old bios system can support on a single disk.
After that I would like to put on several bootable programs such as these.
Kasperky rescue disk 10. An antivirus.
Linux Probably Mint or maybe Mint mate. You can suggest the best version.
Windows XP. I would like it on there.
A bootable partition manager such as minitool partition wizard.
A bootable undelete program. I have done some work with them recently and find them fascinating.
Something to repair a bios if a flash goes wrong.
Basically a full rescue package. Feel free to add on if you like.
Here are some questions. I dont know if what i am trying to do is possible. I would want a boot manager to give me the option of witch os i want from the flash drive.
The reason I want multiple partitions is some programs like different file formats. Such as Fat Ntfs and i heard linux likes ext3 file system.
If the operating systems have the same file extension such as all FAT than can i put them all on the same partition? Sorry dumb question but I don't do dual boots much.
What do you guys think of this project? Is it doable? Thanks.
Edit: I would like the operating systems to be extracted. Not installers. For example xp boots just like if it were on your hard drive.
