Hey guys, I have a desire to create a multi-bootable pendrive using Knoppix.
I have attempted to follow the tutorials and guides that have worked for a singular bootable usb drive and they have worked.
I then attempted to use the how to on this site:
http://www.msfn.org/board/Multiple-Partition-USB-Stick-Multi-Boot-OS-t69211.html
However it doesn't go too in depth on the actual OS installs themselves.
I can successfully get Grub4Dos to display a menu.lst to include DOS, Knoppix, and Unhide All.
I can also get DOS to successfully boot. However when ever I try to get the Knoppix install to boot I get a non-system disk error.
I have the USB stick partitioned 3 times, one with 200 MB (for DOS), one with 3gb (for Knoppix), and a third one with 4.7gb that is unused at the moment.
Using the live CD I've attempted the install found at:
www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/01/usb-knoppix-510/
As well as a Batch script that has worked on a singularly partitioned USB stick that was formated using HP's tool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - and if I'm unclear or leaving anything crucial out let me know, I'd really like to get this Thumb Drive up and running the way I'd like it as it would be vastly useful for me to be able to boot into either DOS (for ghosting), or Knoppix (for file recovery via Samba). : )
Thanks again! = )
