Really guessing here, but:

I assume it makes no sense / doesn't work to put daemon tools lite or
appropriate thing to open up / interpret the .iso file? I'm probably
misunderstanding here. Grub4dos isn't full grub IIRC, there are
limitations.

Would it work / make more sense to have two partitions on the flash -
real Grub (Ext2) on the first, and vfat on the second that contain the
.iso files, then fudge with menu.lst to point to iso1.iso, iso2.iso,
etc.? i.e. Would real grub provide the functionality you're not quite
getting there with grub4dos?

	You can you run one of the popular windows ext2 r/w
installable filesystems, if that's your bent.
