  1. I know the title may seem a bit misleading. I wish I knew how to do this, but the point is to find out if someone knows if this is possible. I have a plethora of usbs like most of us. Various one for various uses, hence the point of making these multipasses in the first place. And thanks to this section of the forum and a few other places, I've managed to come up with a pretty nice multipass. BUT I am always looking for more things to include on it, or more so enough reason to buy a 64gb usb stick to make a mega-multipass since my 32gb multipass is just about full. Ok enough babbling and on to my point. One of my usbs is a bootable installation of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. And on it's own it works fantastically. But I would LOVE to be able to have it on my multipass that has all my other OS installers as well instead of having to have 2 in the event of needing to install one OS or another. So I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with this and if it is even possible to do? I have even wondered if maybe creating a couple of partitions on the multipass, one in fat32 for all the stuff in my current multipass and one formatted for the OSX installation setup. I refer to this for making the bootable USB installer for OSX. Hopefully that link doesn't violate any rules here.A secondary question, and this is more to do with linux and a multipass, but it will eventually get there. Does anyone know if it is possible to make a bootable Ubuntu iso that could have multiple version as well as editions on a single iso? Like being able to have Ubuntu 10.10 x86 desktop, x64 desktop, x86 server, x64 server, as well as the Kubuntu editions or Xubuntu or Mint etc... ? I was just hoping it might be instead of filling my multipass with all this individual distro isos. Something like we are capable of doing with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 all on one disc in all flavors and versions. I hope this was understandable, my dreams for the future of a mega-pass, mostly because I am a little inebriated at the time of this post. Thanks again for your time and hopefully any advice that might follow this, besides the "don't post when drunk" responces :)
  2. I too would be interested in this. Since the original post here GnackTrack is now at R3. Thank you
  3. I tend to carry about a WD 320gb and 500gb My Passport with me in tool bag. I also tend to carry around about 10 different usb keys for various things. But as of today, I bought a 32gb usb at Frys for $60. I'm hoping to be able to eliminate the need for a majority of the smaller keys with this 32gb. I happen to have an 8gb that has an image put on to it that magically appeared from the "demon" that has TONS of tools that we listed here and many more. I'm in the process of taking what was shown in today's episode and what is on this image to be able to do a massive key with most of the general repair, recover, restore tools along with BT3 (persistent), BT4 (persistent), Mint7 (persistent and install), WinXP installer, Win7 32bit & 64bit installers, Server 2003 and 2008 installers. Just to give you guys an idea how this one was setup, here is the menu.lst from the image... splashimage /boot/face.gz timeout 30 default 0 ##################################################################### # Windows installation title Install Windows 2003 R2 SP2 English - First and second boot root (hd0,0) configfile /winsetup.lst savedefault title pause ##################################################################### # Live CDs title XP PE - UBCD4Win v3.50 root (hd0,0) chainloader /minint/setupldr.bin title BackTrack 4 - Pre Release (submenu) root (hd0,0) configfile /bt4.lst savedefault title Vista PE root (hd0,0) chainloader /bootmgr title Vista Recovery CD ##ISO file must be contiguous on disk in this case, use Sysinternals contig.exe map (hd0,0)/images/VistaReco.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Ultimate Boot CD 4.1.1 ##ISO file must be contiguous on disk in this case, use Sysinternals contig.exe map (hd0,0)/images/UBCD411.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Hiren's Boot CD 9.9 ##ISO file must be contiguous on disk in this case, use Sysinternals contig.exe map (hd0,0)/images/Hirens.BootCD.9.9.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title pause ##################################################################### # Tools title Acronis & Paragon utilities (submenu) root (hd0,0) configfile /acropara.lst title Parted Magic 4.2 (submenu) root (hd0,0) configfile /pmagic.lst savedefault title Norton Ghost 11 map --mem (hd0,0)/images/ghost.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) title BootIt NG 1.86 map (hd0,0)/images/bootitng186.ISO (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Active Password Changer 3 map --mem (hd0,0)/images/pant.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) title Peter Nordahl's chntpw 080802 map --mem (hd0,0)/images/chntpw-cd080802.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title OnTrack Data Eraser 2.02 map --mem (hd0,0)/images/DE.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) title OnTrack Data Recovery 6.10 map --mem (hd0,0)/images/DR.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) title Disk tools (submenu) root (hd0,0) configfile /disktools.lst ################################################################################ ######################################## ################################################################################ ######################################## ################################################################################ ######################################## #use the following for reference, uncomment(#) and change as needed #title Start Vista, find and load bootmgr #find --set-root /bootmgr #chainloader /bootmgr #title find and boot Linux with menu.lst already installed #find --set-root /sbin/init #configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst #title SystemRescueCd-0.4.x from hard-disk #root (hd0,0) #kernel /rescuecd init=/linuxrc cdroot=/dev/sda1 setkmap=us #initrd /rescuecd.igz #title Puppy Linux on HD0 #root (hd0,0) #kernel /puppy/vmlinuz root=/dev/rd/0 pmedia=usbflash #initrd /puppy/initrd.gz #title Start Recovery Console of Windows NT/2K/XP #find --set-root /cmldr #chainloader /cmldr ##################################################################### # write string "cmdcons" to memory 0000:7C03 in 2 steps: ##################################################################### ### step 1.
