This is because (as I tried to explain in my previous post and as you well know), Windows can only see the first partition on a USB Removable-type drive.Įven if you used a USB HDD, you would have a problem if you have more than one Windows installer on more than one partition.

#Hiren boot usb add boot to partion iso#

This happens if booting from ISO or from a flat-file (extracted) partition. If you try this, you will find that although it will boot to Windows Setup, if you actually go any further, you will get a 'Windows requires a CD\DVD drive driver' message.

You originally stated that you wanted to install Windows from the drive. Sorry to dampen your spirits, but now you have made a multipart grub4dos (note grub4dos NOT grub which is a different thing!) drive, you need to actually put payload files on it.

If you plug the device in a computer, it'll show you first partition and hence only data, but if you boot from it, you can access more stuff hidden away in otherwise unaccessible from windows partitions. The second, third and fourth partitions would have bootable isos that everyone doesn't need to see. I basically want first partition to be used for data just like any other drive. Thanks for pitching in but your method seems a lot of work and I won't get the results I wish. Clicking on Boot Partition 2 should boot the second partition of first hard drive. If you don't, use the link above to read up on it.

#Hiren boot usb add boot to partion code#

I'm assuming you know how this code works.

The only thing remaining now is to configure menu.lst to boot different partitions.

If it doesn'w work, move them to Partition 1.

Now open up your Grub4Dos folder and copy grldr and menu.lst file to any partition on your usb.

You can backup your old MBR and PBR if you wish so. Now you have Grub4Dos installed in the MBR and PBR of your usb.

Back in the Main Menu, Click Process MBR and Process PBR and Install Grub4Dos on both.

After the partitioning is done, you will see the partitions in the Parts manager.

Choose Fat32 or NTFS as your file system on the partitions and thats pretty much all you need.

Note that even if the partition is numbered at 4 in the software, it'll be the second partition according to the bios and bootloaders (assuming you made 2 partitions) So if you want 2 partitions, you select the size of 1st and remaining size will go to 4th option. You can have upto 4 logical partitions and the fourth partition cannoot be zero.

There are a lot of options but you don't need to mess with all of them.

Select USB-HDD Mode (Multi partitioning) to create multiple partitions on the drive.

You'll get a window to select which type of partitioning you want

Click on Parts Manager, then Re-partitioning.

Plug in your USB and it'll be detected by the software, select it.

So I used BootIce v1.3.2 which you can find here. Below I'm posting the steps I took to help someone who needs something similar of a result. For those who wanna learn how it works, I would suggest this guide. I read up a lot on Grub4Dos and I took the time understand how it works. It worked!!!įirst of all, thank you NickAu1 for the tips. So how do I do it? Is it possible to change the order of partitions to make second partition first, so windows could detect that?Īlso, once I have two partitions, both with bootable iso's, how will I select which partition to boot from when I boot from usb?Īnyways. I created the partitions using Gparted from Hiren's but I can't seem to find a way to make the second partition available for writing the iso image to it. It doesn't have to be visible from windows as it can only detect the first primary partition. Because of the file arrangements that win 7 and 8 uses, I can't have both on the same flash drive so I want to create a separate partition of about 4gb to install win 8 from there.

#Hiren boot usb add boot to partion windows 7#

I used YUMI to install ubuntu, windows 7 and Hiren's bootcd all on 1 partition, thats no big deal but I also want to be able to install win 8.1 from this drive. What I'm trying to do is create multiple partitions on an 8gb flash drive so I could install a few operating systems from it (win 7,8.1,hirensbootcd). Its been 2 days since I've been trying to overcome this problem and I've still not stumbled upon a solution yet.
