bulletproof Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 i dont think you can use usb multipass to boot windows setups, because they use their own bootloaders and require a ramdisk. but then so do other live systems anyway you can try multiple partitions, discussed in this topic (I thought it was impossible too) http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=18846 one partition with usb multipass and the other with windows setup bootloader check out this for booting windows 7 from usb http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=18846 or you can try the BartPE way, but ur on ur own there is hardly any help on the topic check out http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23247 and http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8774 then use this for multiboot http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=18846 hope it helps Quote
