I will be posting very soon instructions on how to create dual boot usb installation.

Many of the instructions I found on internet were old, incorrect, or just didn't have enough information for what I wanted to accomplish.

So I have gone through many trials and failures and some successes and so I am gathering all the know how I figured out and collected and putting it in easy to understand steps and will explain why they work or do not work.

Bookmark this page and come back soon for update.

If you have any quick questions before the full instruction is done, you can send me a msg or comment and I'll get back to you hopefully within 24 hours.

Programs I have used that helped in some way or another:
winimage, ultraiso, hdhacker, volumeid (sysinternals), fedora's usb creator, editpad

OSes or Utilities I have installed on my 8Gig flash drive (aka. usb drive, keychain drive, pendrive):
Ubuntu 8.04 - Linux (persistent does not work - not my fault, Ubuntu hasn't fixed it)
Fedora 9 - Linux (great Linux distro that loads much faster than Ubuntu from usb)
Slax - Linux (very small but less ugly and more useful than DSL [damn small linux] and comes with the hawkpe)
hawkpe (a distro of custom built winpe - don't remember who built it, I used version 39)
Acronis True Image Echo with Universal Restore (awesome boot utility to backup or restore full harddrive image or even individual files, one heck of a program to use to backup. I highly recommend this one for your regular backup needs very very highly.)
PowerQuest Partition Magic (copied it from hawkpe iso same as hard drive tester apps listed below)
IBM/Hitachi diagnostic
SeaTools for Seagate drives
WesternDigital diagnostic
Kitchen Sink
QEMU (as a portable app to run under windows to run ubuntu 7.10, even under qemu Ubuntu 8.04's persistent does not work.)
Memtest+ (tests your RAM - if you ever had experience where you bought a brand new computer but right out of the box you started getting reboots or bluescreen, you might want to test your RAM)

All these are launched from 1 single menu. I use syslinux. I do NOT use Grub4Dos (used it before but didn't like having to launch a menu to run dos or windows apps when I could actually do it from syslinux that way I am not running a menu just to run a menu)
