USB Flash Drive Installation Kits

I have enjoyed being able to install Vista and Windows 7 from a bootable USB
Flash Drive.

I have acquired couple of 8 and 16GB USB Flash drives and was wondering if
it is possible to keep multiple installations on a single flash drive, for
example, Windows 7 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, etc.

To create a bootable USB Flash drive, from Vista or Windows 7, I use these
commands:
1. DiskPart
2. List Disk
3. Select Disk #
4. Clean
5. Create Partition Primary
6. Active
7. Format fs=FAT32 quick
8. Assign
9. Exit Diskpart then Copy Installation from DVD to USB drive

Thanks,
~alan

It's pretty straightforward - Ramesh has an easy tut here :

You should be able to get both bit versions of Vista and 7 into a
single massive install.wim - if it takes your fancy.

Hope it helps
