[elohelomg]

I wanna shove a windows xp installation, AND a win 7 installation. If there a software that can do all this, PLEASE let me know.

Personally I never used it myself but a lot of ppl use this handy tool. LMK if it's works for you. ;)

Create Windows 7, Vista, or XP bootable USB Pendrive with a few clicks.

Requirements to create bootable Windows USB

1. Windows 7, Vista or XP ISO

2. Pen drive with 4GB+ (2 GB is sufficient for XP)

Procedure:

1. Insert your USB flash/pen drive to your system and backup all the data from the USB as your USB drive will be formatted during the process.

2. Now download WinToFlash tool (free) from here.

3. Run the tool, and browse to your Windows 7, Vista, or XP DVD files (make sure that your USB drive letter is correct).

4. Click Create button to begin the bootable USB process. Wait for few minutes to see the bootable USB.

5. All Finished.

I hope it help :D

It doesn't work with the "tiny" installations. XD

I was looking for something that can have than one installation at a time. these only allow you to put one installation. i wanted to do both xp and win7. if you know anything that has that capability let me know.

XP seems harder to do. I myself have a Windows 7 intall on my main flashdrive and I use it frequently as its way faster than DVD.

I take Acronis Images, but sometimes your apps are so out of date it would take as much time to update after restoring image than wiping OS and using latest app installer.

Personally I can have Win OS (re)install in 5 minutes with USB.

Some PCs and flash drives don't play well with USB boot though.

I know for sure XP can be booted from USb. I've seen XP OS installed TO USB, not just from USB.

yeah but who wants to boot and erase windows all the time? -peace ;)

btw.. i have a 32gig flash drive need help with boot feature tia!! :)

There is a tool called WinToFlash that can put the windows setup installer on flash drive and make it bootable

Easiest way to go, I did this with Win 7 because its way faster than install by DVD.

i have this one, im using Windows XP Live USB Edition 2008 2.2PORTABLE. but the one i downloaded is a failure so i use the contents of my bartPE cd. im using my usb but its to slow to boot. the only benifit of a usb is very handy but i prefer the cd. So im still using both but when i can buy a fast usb then i can forget my bartpe cd
