I am trying to boot directly off and ISO from a hard drive. This is the situation:
I have serveral iso's on a hard drive for our office. We have an MSDN license so we generally download most of our iso's and have them sitting on the file server for use when we need them. We'll burn a cd or dvd and then someone will lose it, take it home, or whatever. I am trying to eliminate the use of cd's/dvd's and put all of the iso images on a portable hard drive.
I want to be able to throw all the cd's in ISO format, or maybe just copy/paste from the cd, and have a program which will boot off the hard drive and then give you the option to select which ISO you want to boot off of. It doesn't even have to boot off the hard drive, if i had a master CD to boot off of, which could then give me the option of booting off an ISO located on the USB hard drive, that would also work well.
The idea is to have all our operating systems and software located on a single portable media in which we can boot directly off of vs burning another cd.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Darren
