Can't add two Windows ISO

Postby ricotovi » October 24th, 2014, 7:52 pm

Hi Davide,
I want to first say that you've done a good job with this tool; it is really helpful for troubleshooting. I have successfully created a multi-boot USB with 4 Linux distros and they all work perfect; however I can't seem to have more than one Windows install. Everywhere in your help pages it says that you just add the ISOs correctly named and that SARDU will take care of the rest, but I'm not having any luck. Here is the list of my ISO:
- InstallWin7_64.ISO (3.15 GB)
- InstallWin8.ISO (3.5 GB)

My USB is formatted with FAT32 and I'm running SARDU 3.0.0.0 beta5 on a Win 8 Pro 64 bits laptop.
When I go to the section of Windows in SARDU, I see three options only:
- Windows 7 PE
- Installer Vista, Seven, Eight
- Windows PE
None of this entries is selected, neither entry gets assigned an ISO automatically; I can manually add the path for the ISO to the "Installer Vista, Seven, Eight", but then, how do I add another Windows ISO?
If I select the "Installer Vista, Seven, Eight" and click on "Add" it gives me an error saying "ISO Windows Installer limit reached"; why? Don't you say on your web page that you can have all Windows installs in ONE USB?
Is this a limitation of the free version? I tried to buy the Pro version but nothing is available at http://www.sardu.pro/

So my question really is: How do I add more than one Windows ISO on SARDU 3.0.0.0 beta 5?
Thanks,
ricotovi

Only the future pro version will support more installer of Windows.

So the information on the Windows section of the SARDU webpage (http://www.sarducd.it/windows) where it says that "SARDU creates one USB or DVD that enables you to install all Windows from USB" is incorrect?
If so, it should be changed to say that this is possible only on the pro version; it is really confusing and like me it frustrates users that are not aware of this limitation and keep trying to make it work.
I understand that you have done and incredible work with SARDU and I'm grateful; but a little clarity on the documentation and explanation on how the tool works, not only improves the user experience but also increases the quality of the software.

Thank you for clarifying this bit about multiple Windows ISO; I wish I knew about it five days ago.

Is it still possible to download sardu 2.0.6.5 from this website?
The restriction to only have one Windows ISO on a USB stick is a show-stopper for me I'm afraid.

Thanks,
Simon
