Download and install the following utilities:
1) HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
(SP27608.exe)
2) Grub4dos installer
3)

Format the drive using the HP utility:
Use grub4dos installer to install the boot loader:
Copy grub files, DOS files, and WinPE files to the usb drive:

Edit menu.lst to show grub how to load each OS:
title DOS98
find --set-root /io.sys
chainloader /io.sys
title WinPE30
chainloader /bootmgr
For fast DOS boot, use this msdos.sys:
[Options]
SystemReg=0
Logo=0
DisableLog=1
... and this config.sys:
device=\dos\himem.sys /testmem:off
buffers=99,8
To setup WinPE 2.0 or 3.0 for multiboot, you must run bcdedit.exe. Good luck with that.
