Putting multiple bootable OS installations/tools on a single USB

themctipers

I would like to be able to put multiple install and boot usbs on my large USB (Lexar 128gb, USB 3)

 

i would like to have:

macOS Sierra DMG ( @NCIX Lampy)

gparted live 

lubuntu

ubuntu

bunsen labs

memtest

windows 10 pro (64 bit)

windows 7 ultimate (64 bit)

and a separate fat32 partition with program files (crystal disk info, unibeast, etc)

 

the bootloader has to be clover (UEFI) because macOS. 

Yes it supports booting up all of these (I'd hope)

 

Any ideas on how to do it?

 

 

if wrong section move, idk where to put this. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

My first reaction would be to make multiple partitions so each goes on one, and then when you boot your USB, you have GRUB or something to pick which one from there.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Strangely partitioning will work even for creating bootable macOS/OS X installers. Very interesting. My general assumption was that the default tool would only work for the entire USB and not allow partitioning/shrinking. I just thought it was too sensitive for that material, but I guess not!
