Hello,
I have a 1 TB external hard drive, and I would like to put a Windows Server 2008 R2 image (.iso) on it and be able to boot from it to install it.
My motherboard is compatible, and the USB boot option is enabled.
What is the procedure to follow?
Is it possible to put multiple images (.iso) on the hard drive and select the image to boot from?
Thank you in advance,
Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 18.0

You may need to set the active and boot flags on the disk partition.
Usually, I do this with gparted: https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/utilitaires/11343-gparted/ ... installed on a USB stick
