As i said earlier - i was wanting to use something like this at work - then i remembered why i didnt in the first place.

as the link of dinos above - i have my drive setup to install off nad that works fine, at work i was planning on running a single hdd that contained W7 x86, x64 Vista x64, x86, XP home, XP pro etc
The issue with that is that you can start the installer and thats all fine - but when the system reboots during the installation it can no longer find the disk (image) so it doesnt work.

Has anyone fixed that issue?

that should only be an issue with xp, where there are alternative, and slightly more difficult ways of putting it on a usb stick

You can also use Sardu to create a multi OS USB drive. You can have Linux and Windows on the same pendrive. http://mytechencounters.wordpress.co...x-and-windows/
