I wan't to be able to add multiple OSs install disks
I have multiple WIndows 7 custom built, but I can only add one to the USB

PS: Also WIndows 8 installer is missing

Multiple OS (seven and Vista and windows 8) aren't supported by SARDU.
You can have only one folder sources, only one file boot.wim and install.wim.
I found the method, i have one my USB stick with both Vista and Seven..but...i haven't made the builder for this.

I tried to trick it, placing a secondary win7 image instead of WIn7 recovery, it did not work, not sure if it was the image though.

this is is not important I admit, I could easily use ultimate with x32 and x64. It's just that i like those custom windows builds.

Best of luck

with bcdedit i can edit the file BCD and change the parameter for load boot.wim
I can't change the parameter of install.wim
I solve making a renamer....but is one alfa...

Awesome. take your time and polish this incredible tool

So far I know syslinux doesn't support ntfs.
How big is your image/images, you want to boot?
Vfat will limit all the possibility.
Basically Grub4dos can do everything vfat, ntfs, extx and cdfs.

Now isolinux is testing NTFS but the question isn't this. That i know GRUB4dos don't support ntfs.

Code: Select all

Boot anywhere with an external sata2HD USB2
in 5 partitions(three ntfs, one fat32 and one ext3)
over 150 linux- & windows-LiveOS in multiboot


Read: 5 partitions

In my USB, manuallly, i can have more than the result of video.
SARDU is a builder that user without knowledge can use. SARDU don't format or make partitions.
You can obtain much more with SARDU by joining your skills. You can have more 60 ISO, all XP etc in one partition (SARDU), in the other you fancy free.
Now if you can build a software that automates all of this, I'll be the first to use it.

I guess, isolinux-ntfs is still in experiment, don't know when it becomes reality for ntfs support.

The advantage G4D so far I know:
Support vfat, ntfs, extx and cdfs
Bootloader can be installed directly to cd/dvd, internal/external HDD, USB flash drive(never tried on SSD or sdcard).
No need syslinux/isolinux, at least I don't use it at all.
Ntfs doesn't have problem booting over 4Gb limit.
Partition over 130 Gb no problem so far.

I tested on lot of PC's & laptops. The oldest PC I tested is Dell workstation 340 P4 with still rambus memory & usb1.1.
Install PCI-USB2, boot from plop and all work fine.

You can have more 60 ISO, all XP etc in one partition (SARDU)

Yes, that's true. I put also around 75 isos and around 20 IMGs&VHDs all in one of the ntfs partitions.
I have a good reason why I split it into many partitions.
Basically easy to manage/maintain.
I don't need to defrag the HD all the time (save time a lot)
Ntfs partition is necessary (some images are bigger than 4Gb)
Fat32 partition is necessary also (40% of Linux LiveOSs can not boot from ntfs partition)
EXT3 partition is not necessary, just in case only, so far I don't see any full-install Linux system can be portable like win_to_go.

Sardu is really amazing.
I dont have any idea how to make amazing sardu-builder like yours.

That's all I know base on my experience.

Thank you for joining offer.
