Multi-Installs from Usb key

Hi pplz,

Here is my issue, I have a 16gb memory key, A mac, and a desktop. I have installed osx leopard on my mac with the memory key, it only takes up 6.2gb of space so therefore the rest is wasted. My questions are as follows:

1: If you use disk utility to partition a memory key, windows doesnt recognise the partitions and resets the drive, is there any 3rd party utilities that will allow you to create multiple partitions recognisable in both windows/mac?

2: Secondly, I want to be able to have a multiboot, with the install files for both Os's so i dont have to carry discs around, Is this even possible

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated

There is a utility called bootmyiso which I have used to create a bootable USB stick with several Linux distros.

The utility runs in Windows to create the bootable USB drive.

You can add additional ISO's to the USB drive and edit a menu text file on the USB to point to additional ISO's

I have not tried it using either a MAC ISO or Windows ISO

It can be found here
