Multi OS Bootable DVDR?

[jcuervo811]

Has anyone tried to put multiple operating systems (Win98SE, Win2K, WinXP) on one DVDR that can be bootable? I would like to put all these together and somehow reboot my PC and allow me to select which one I would like to install.

You might be able to make a multi OS boot disc with partition magic? I've never tried though.

Are you just talking about the installation files or a full working install similar to a linux demo disk?

If you want to just have the install files you can do this, but you'll have a little problem switching from a DOS boot for win98 to a NT or XP boot.


I actually have all XP versions on one CD and all 2k versions on another CD...All with the latest service packs incorporated....I don't have much use for win9x installs

Here's a site for more information

There is a program that will do it all for you too, but I can't think of it right now.....It's all text based but it works

Edit: found the program (script) here
