Hi there. i'm new to the forum and i digested the 5x24 and 6x02 (not too sure about 6x02 but i'm sure i went through the other video) in regards to multipass/multiboot usbs.
i have a few questions regarding this as i have been going through a few problems all night and i am stuck like mad. it should also be noted i am a linux noob, but i felt proud to have at least solve a few problems along the way.
i have wanted to create a multipass at the moment with at least Hiren's Boot CD and Ubuntu. I have also chosen to include Ultimate Boot CD and GParted as well for times when i will need it - most likely installing OSX86, which is like rarely.
However, the biggest problems right now i have are these:
1) Hiren's Boot CD version 10.1
In terms of booting this, i have managed to sucessfully boot it to the menu selection screen along with entering into the sub menus to choose the sub items. however, there are particular items that i am unable to start up, and i see that they somehow have an asterisk/star behind the name of the program. when i try to load it, it will end up saying "HBCD is not found" and so on. I was thinking, i am booting from HBCD so how can it somehow end up not finding it? is there a solution for this?
2) Linux based Ubuntu and GParted
In regards of these two programs, i end up having Kernal Panic and can not continue to load or do anything after the program gets stuck. i do not know the reason why this is happening. it feels very weird to me - or that i am used to using unetbootin for making USB bootable Ubuntu systems.
I can post a printscreen if it helps in understanding the problem.
I have continously tested on VMware with the USB VM tester and only managed to solve problems for Ultimate Boot CD although i have never loaded the programs inside.
Here is some other info, which i am not sure if it helps:
Computer Spec/Info:
Lenovo Thinkpad X200 (1st Gen) with 3GB ram and 160gb hdd with Vista Home Premium.
USB selected for task:
Sandisk Cruzer 4GB - New version which does not come with U3 system.
Programs used in process (Not in order):
Ubuntu 9.10 and 9.04 (LiveCD) iso
Gparted Version 0.4.4 (although i just realised my menu says 4.3-2, typo = =)
Hiren's Boot CD version 10.1
Ultimate Boot CD forgot which version

i see.
but i guess this week is a bad week for me or something, cause when i tried to use Hiren's Boot CD 9.5 Burned onto a cd, that didn't work either. got rather demotivated. its like as if the computers i'm working with are currently taking a dump or sth. =(
