Boot from PDA?


Question: I am running several OS's on my PC, and it gets to be a pain in the butt to choose which OS to boot from each time my PC has to restart, so I've been experimenting with bootable flash drives that have my BIOS stored on them, and which tell which partition to boot from, what I'm trying to figure out is, if I can do that with a flash drive, is there a way to make it so I boot from my PDA?
Answers: I've never done this or heard of it, but it may be possible as long as your PDA can present itself as a flash drive. For Palm Treo phones, Softick Card Export can make your Treo behave like a USB flash reader, presenting your SD memory card directly to the PC. But then you're still in the same boat as if you used the USB flash drive directly.

I'd recommend you go a completely different direction and run VMWare or MS Virtual Server (both have free versions) to run multiple virtual OS's concurrently.
