I've been using USB to install windows 7 for a while now and absolutely love it. The only down side is I need to have at least 2 sticks, one for 32bit and one for 64bit. I've been doing a lot of repair work for friends, and invariably I end up scrabbling in the garage for old copies of XP and Vista. Is there any way to us a single 32Gb USB stick and have All of my Windows installs on it (XP 32/64; Vista, Windows 7 32/64, Windows 8{when I get it}) to save all the faf?

- Start date
I absolutely love YUMI - I was using it to try to Parted Magic my Samsung SSDs - and that's what got me thinking that I could simply add the isos onto it. The adding was fine, but when I booted the machine from it the Windows installed ground to a halt and couldn't find the drivers it needed...I'm guessing it's something to do with Windows fighting Linux for control? If I'm missing a step then please let me know as it seemed like the perfect solution!

His combined one for Server and Win 7 32/64 looks very promising, can't see why you couldn't do exactly the same thing, just have the Win XP and Vista .wim files and merge them as well. Might have a try a bit later - thanks for the head's-up 
Sounds promising - will give it a try - have you confirmed that it works with any of the Windows installs?
Edit: Sardu looks brilliant, but am I right in thinking that I would still need 2 sticks - one for 32bit and one for 64bit?
