Multi-boot USB stick
Multi-boot USB stick
I'm running tests on my laptop with various operating systems, using a flash drive that holds several images. I need a way to easily copy or paste the files without having to delete partitions. Since it's an older machine from 2009-2010 with a basic UEFI setup, I'm looking for a simple solution. Also, I'm planning to run both Windows and Linux on it. Any suggestions?
I'm not sure this will be very useful for you. I do have some experience using multiple operating systems on a flash drive, especially the Corsair GTX SSD Flash Drive. First, you need a bootloader built into the drive itself so that whenever it boots, you can choose which operating system to load. In theory, you could divide the drive into several partitions, install each OS onto its own partition, use one bootloader that supports all of them, and then have a single partition acting as shared storage for all. I've only managed to get one OS (Mac OS X Yosemite) and a single partition working on the drive, so please consider my words with caution.
