georgeks,

ooof... That is a bit heavy, eh... I may be able to take some of it to get to work as I'm wanting, but to be honest, it's not exactly what I'm looking for...

I have a dvd that was given to me a few years ago that has all Windows operating systems on it. All you have to do is boot to the dvd, and select which version (95, ME, XP, etc...), then you have a breakdown of the different versions such as home, pro, 32 bit, 64 bit, etc..., once you make that selection, it goes to installation process... If I could just get that process, and find out how to make it work on a usb drive, that would be the berries! Hopefully in gui form, but it's not looking like promising...

Thanks for the link and you effort though, it is appreciated...

Scott

Thought so..

Here are the light ones though (really!!)
Power Menu for DOS
DOS Applications

Tell the truth, I tried the Dos Menu Creator (second link) at work.

Put it on a bootable USB stick, and it started just fine. The hassle is you have to play around with the settings (how much space or width, can't recall at the moment....see what a cold Heineken can do with an empty stomach...)
Comments on this post
vger agrees: where's mine?

georgeks,

Thanks once again for the links, I'll try to get around to testing them out today or tomorrow, but I may not get to them until next week. I'll be sure to post back with my comments afterwards.

Thanks again!
Scott

vger,

I think I'm good at this point, sorry for not responding earlier. I was never able to test anything except for AutoPlay Media Studio from Indigo Rose, which I was very impressed with and really liked. However, my company decided they didn't believe this was the best approached to the issue at hand so I no longer had the time available to test the other applications.

Thanks again for everyones help with this matter,
Scott
