Help needed multi boot USB boot drive.I need help setting up a UBS boot drive.
I would like to setup it up with Win7 64 install.
Next would be win7 repair recovery disk..
I was able to get the win7 using the boot manager
I’m having trouble setting up the repair dvd.
I’m using a 90g SSD for this project.
Is there away possible to I can access the rest of my SSD drive after the OS is loaded.
I would like to include folder that would include my favorite apps and drivers that can accessed
From the freshly installed desktop using explorer.
I'm hoping it would be as simple as including my apps into the disk1 folder
Thanks In advance

@Macbob'Welcome to EasyBoot @Macbob

Am I right if you already managed to create a bootable USB drive with setup of win7 in the EasyBoot menu?
As this seems to be the case - we can leave this issue already at this point, and focus on the next issue:

This is a easy task to solve - do it this way:'
1. Find ISO-file of that 'repair dvd' and copy ISO-file to folder EZBOOT
2. Use menu command in EasyBoot menu: run rescue.iso (or whatever name you use to 'rescue dvd')
3. Tick 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot
4. 'Burn' to USB drive (in EasyBoot; 'Burn>>Write USB Disk...')

Hmmm.. What do you mean
A. After the full installation of Win7?
B. After you have launched 'rescue ISO-file'?
In both cases above you can reach drivers (or whatever) from USB (the root of the drive) in any case
To have drivers 'onboard' the EasyBoot build, simply copy those to folder disk1 in EasyBoot (in a folder 'drivers' or whatever you prefer)
Note: folder 'disk1' is the 'root' in EasyBoot if you wonder

You are so correct as you can be
