It can also boot windows isos but it has some quirks to it just like hak5's directions. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ Plus I have read that formatting to ntfs actually works better with a multi windows (xp, vista, 7) boot usb YUMI is a free portable ap which will allow for a multipass usb.

Instead of extracting the bt4-r2.iso file simply copy the iso to your usb. In the menu.lst state this for the Backtrack 4 R2 menu entry: title BackTrack 4 R2 map (hd0,0)/bt4r2.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) It worked for me and booting up rather easily. Try it out on your usb yourself though. Just a heads up, I am not an expert on BT4 R2 so you may want to consult someone who knows more about the subject than I do.

Can't find anything useful on google about it either.

To get it just extract the installer with 7-zip and go to MultiBootISOs-2.1.3.5\$[53]\Slax612\$PLUGINSDIR and there is the full menu list hoped this helped I have known about dual booting for a while and always used this site
