Partitioned Bootable USB drive System divided into separate sections for storage and functionality.
Partitioned Bootable USB drive System divided into separate sections for storage and functionality.
This could be a straightforward setup. Using a 500GB external drive, you can divide it into several OS-ready partitions—like a 450GB for files and separate 5GB partitions for each operating system such as Ubuntu, Mint 32-bit, Fedora, Tails, etc. After partitioning, yes, you would be able to format each individual partition independently.
You might do this to leverage the capabilities of GPT for more accurate and efficient results.
You're correct, but you'd need to know how to use the GRUB loader.
You might achieve this by dividing the drive using EaseUS Partition Manager, then choosing the desired partition when creating a bootable USB via the provided link.
The reasons I have for doing this come from using multiple old computers, especially for Ubunutu and Mint. I often rely on these outdated systems and prefer not to move around many drives or disks. I also use tools like Tails, Disks, Boot, and Nuke. Also...why not? Thank you all.
