I'm fairly new to the Linux community but I do have some experience doing minor things but what I'm trying to do is a little beyond my level.
I am trying to dual boot or possibly tri-boot on a Thumb drive. My goal is to create a rescue/removeable OS disk. I want to have ubuntu on one partition, a swap disk on another, then have Bart PE on another, then if possible a real installation of windows XP that is fully functional. I have tried searching online for something like this and I couldn't find anything.
I understand how to install...
- Ubuntu 9.10 with casper-rw (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/)
- Bart PE (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windows-pocket,1113.html)
- Windows XP (http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html)
I just don't know how to get all this onto one flash drive with a swap disk. I'm using a Super Talent 4.0 GB flash drive (http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/supertalent-4gb-pico-c-usb-flash-drive) and what I want is...
1.0 GB - Ubuntu 9.10
0.5 GB - Bart PE
1.5 GB - Windows XP SP2
1.0 GB - Swap
I may also want to add in Ubuntu Rescue Remix 9.10 Live just for good measure but there's not really a huge need at this point.

Does anyone know if this has been attempted or been successful? If not does anyone have any ideas how this might be implemented?
Thank you in advance for any help!
