Booting Windows OSes (Xp,Win 7 32/64 bit AIO) & Linux (Ubuntu) in one flash drive

[KaiserPhantasma]

How do you go about making a flashdrive that can reformat a computer with a XP,win 7 (32/64BIT AIO) or with a linux (ubuntu) as the only process that I know is only applicable for the windows OS (the XP and win 7)

Given the cheapness of USB drives, why bother? 1 x 4GB stick for each, done.

Each has their own bootloader - so you can't have a "multi-boot" setup for the different OS's. The only way is to create a bootable flash drive for each. I keep current copies of the ISO on a hard drive - only takes a few minutes to burn a DVD or create a flash drive....

while actually very true I guess the same could be said about the swiss army knives? 😉

was thinking someone might know and had a guide of some sort...

I already can achieve having the XP and win 7 (AIO version) in one bootable flash drive but not with the linux one

I think it was called RMPrep or something, a program which would make your USB Multi-bootable.
It was as simple as copy pasting the ISO's of the OS into their respective folders.

After that, you just edit one file (not sure which) to tell it to point to the different ISO's.

There was also a lot of guides on their website, it's been a while since I last did that... I haven't tried that combination before (Windows + Linux) but it should be possible, it piqued my interest, gonna test it out

thats how I did my current win 7 and win XP installers in my 16 GB flash drive but now that I have a 32GB was thinking I could a linux distro along with hirens (is this even being used nowadays lol) and some other stuff

sister site of RMPrepusb but I asked the question here because someone might know "another" way of doing it not mention a easier way compared to RMPrepusb 🙁
