Add more ISO's to Ultimate Boot CD
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 11:20 pm
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a solution for a problem I have. I'm a computer technician, and being one I go around installing CD's all the time. I have a pack of CD's with me, I usually carry discs like:
Windows XP - Windows 2000 - Windows Vista (32/64 bit) - Windows Seven (32/64 bit) - Slax live linux - Ultimate Boot CD - Mac OSX 10.4 - Mac OSX 10.5 - Mac OSX 10.6
and I'd really love to STOP carrying these discs and instead put them all on my 500GB external USB hard drive.
I already have them on the drive as ISOs (for backup) but what I really want to do is just BOOT from the usb drive, and then get a menu that asks me which iso I want to boot from, I choose it and - TADAM! the computer boots from that ISO.
I already know there is no program that does this, but at this point I will PAY GOOD MONEY if somebody can do this for me. I thought maybe one way would be to create a separate partition on the drive for every ISO and then use a boot manager to choose which one to boot from.
Can I use UBCD to do this? can I just add ISO's of all the discs I use to the list of UBCD programs?
If it's not possible through a hard drive, I can also consider a solution that involves an SD Card reader and multiple micro SD cards (if that would be fast enough)
If anybody wants to take on this project please e-mail me a quote to INFO <AT> SPEEDGEEKNY <DOT> COM Like I said, I'll be happy to pay somebody to do it for me.
Thank you!
