USB sticks I use for travel or rescue systems use syslinux, sometimes with grub4dos. I usually use the stick only on my systems and use the boot to ISOs with shared data partition liberally. I use this grub method because it works for harddrive and USB. If booting to another machine, hit "e" to edit the chainload entry and adjust to the correct root. Hd5 is the USB position if the USB stick is installed into the primary usb port on this particular machine. Įxample of "master" mbr grub chainload entries:' # for PCLos on Partition 2 Knoppix, Tinycore, Clonezilla, Puppy, etc., all work great with this setup using the data partition the ISOs are in to save settings. works great with boot to ISO, drop a new ISO into the data partition, copy/edit another "master" grub entry, reboot into ISO.Now kernel updates or installs to each partition will update the grub installed to the relative root partitions and will never overwrite/mess up the master chainload menu.3) Insert the second USB drive, and mount it. This will install all of the necessary grub files to the system you are running, but it will not overwrite the MBR of the active drive (it will continue to boot as usual). hand edit the MBR grub with chainload entries for the other partitions, edit the root(hd#,#) to the appropriate location for your usb drive txz package you downloaded, and select install.subsequent OS/partition installs load grub into their relative root partitions.
