Creating a multiboot USB drive Introduction Part one prepare the USB drive Part two prepare the Windows Vista installation images Part three using WinSetupFromUSB to create the bootable USB drive Part four adding boot options modify Grub DOS menu Introduction One of the more frustrating downsides to the recent rise in popularity of netbooks is the di ?culty in installing an operating system without an optical drive The traditional way around this issue was to do a network install using something like Microsoft's Remote Installation Services or Windows Deployment Services which is ?ne if you have the infrastructure already in place but overkill for the average user - having to set up a domain and then create images is a lengthy process if all you want to do is install Windows on your new computer One of the most popular solutions for this increasingly common issue is to install from a USB ash memory drive There are applications readily available on the Internet that will take your standard USB ash memory drive and turn it into a bootable drive from which you can install Windows This got me thinking wouldn't it be great to have a USB drive with all the versions of Windows that you install regularly A quick search on google yielded some helpful but incomplete instructions on how to achieve this but fortunately after many days of tweaking I have been able to create a USB drive with the following operating systems Windows XP Professional x with SP Windows XP Professional x with SP Windows Vista Starter Home Basic Home Premium Business Ultimate and Enterprise x with SP Windows Vista Home Basic Home Premium Business Ultimate and Enterprise x with SP Windows Server Standard Enterprise Datacenter full and Server Core x and x Which by my count is client and server operating systems all installable from a single GB USB ash drive With some further research and modi ?cation of the method I was also able to create a bootable USB hard disk drive with the above as well as a number of additional utilities including Acronis True Image Server memtest CGParted WinPE Ultimate Boot CD BartPE This is an extremely powerful tool especially to the IT professional who has to work on a range of systems that may not have working optical drives or simply doesn't want to carry discs around with them at all times Over the next few posts I will give instructions on how to create these bootable USB drives The majority of these instructions come from various sources on the Internet mainly the forums at msfn org I will list the sources I used as I go along although I apologise in advance if I do not credit somebody for their work - I do not recall where I got all of the information from So that's the preamble and scenario dealt with onto the guide Part one prepare the USB drive Essential items software for this step A USB drive either
