Can i use my external HDD as multiple os installer ?

Dzul SK · Dec 31, 2017

so i recently bought a 2TB external HDD, im using it to backup my files and planning to use it as multiple os installer. my question is can i use it by creating new multiple partition and burn it to each partition ?

If you are wondering why i didnt buy a Thumb Drive, well because i lost it and cant be bother to buy it and lose it again.

yes you can. [strike]just buy a sata to usb adapter. you can convert any ssd/hdd into a usb drive with this gadget[/strike]. then you use this tool below.

this can create a multi UEFI boot on a single drive. as for partitioning method, you can follow the instructions below

marksavio :

does the software creates multiple os installer in one partition or not ?

ugh ur just making things complicated.

youre combining solution 2 with 1. just go with solution 1. it is bootable by itself. [strike]you can have a data folder in it. instead of a partition.[/strike] but i wont stop you from doing 2 and 1 together tho.

EDIT sorry you cant. since the drive is in FAT32. :/ there could be other solutions out there that i might not heard of tho. but since you are using a 2TB as your installer drive. i guess its natural for you to think that way.

just go for solution 2 then. and create 1 partition for each UEFI boot.
