Hello everyone!
So a couple of years ago i made the mistake of letting people know that i'm good with computers, so of course this means that everyone and their mother (literally) is asking me for tech support, and of course been the wonderful human been that i am i happily oblige. Well recently i've actually managed to get a job working in a school as a IT tech, so as the news spread and its official I've been getting quite a lot of requests to fix people PC's. Most of the time it results in me saving any files they want to keep and formatting the thing.
But of course people want or need various types of OS. So what i want to be able to do is put multiple OS's on a external hard drive and then be able to somehow select the one i would like to install. I've been told that there is a certain device for this but after doing a bit of research i've been unable to find anything.
So i'm not sure whether i need a device for this or if its just recommended, or if i would be able to perhaps partition a external hard drive and but a separate OS on each partition.
TL;RD
The idea is using one external hard drive for installing multiple types of operating systems to various machines.
Thanks...
Tom
