| | USB Flash Drive Installation Kits I have enjoyed being able to install Vista and Windows 7 from a bootable USB Flash Drive. I have acquired couple of 8 and 16GB USB Flash drives and was wondering if it is possible to keep multiple installations on a single flash drive, for example, Windows 7 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, etc. To create a bootable USB Flash drive, from Vista or Windows 7, I use these commands: 1. DiskPart 2. List Disk 3. Select Disk # 4. Clean 5. Create Partition Primary 6. Active 7. Format fs=FAT32 quick 8. Assign 9. Exit Diskpart then Copy Installation from DVD to USB drive Thanks, ~alan |

| | Re: USB Flash Drive Installation Kits It's pretty straightforward - Ramesh has an easy tut here : http://www.windowsvalley.com/blog/cr...in-single-dvd/ You should be able to get both bit versions of Vista and 7 into a single massive install.wim - if it takes your fancy. Hope it helps SIW2
