Booting to a caddy
Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to configure an external drive with multiple boot options
In work I use Bart PE standard and also Windows 7 PE, I also boot to a windows XP disk for boot recovery commands, I also on occasion install Windows 7 64-Bit.
My point is...could my external drive be partitioned however many ways necessary and each partition contain each set of boot files.
Obviously it would need to boot to a menu asking me what I want to boot to but how could I do this?
Any help is much appreciated
Cheers
Lee

short answer is yes you can. long answer is google the specific OS you want to install from USB. You set your BIOS to boot from removable media first I believe, then install the OS or OS's on external drive. I googled a few things and it can be a little different depending on OS.

I can install all these individually to boot from a pen drive or caddy
My question was hhow would I load them all onto 1 drive.
