Three flash drives: One needs to be 512MB or larger, Two need to be 8GB or larger.

i7-3770K, GIGABYTE GA-Z77N-WIFI, 2x8GB 1600MHz Team Ram, 500GB Samsung 850 EVO, 2x3TB Seagate Barracudas (RAID 0), NVidia GTX 980, Silverstone 600W SFX PSU, NCase M1.

I can’t make any guarantees for Z170 or X99. It is very likely that this will work exactly the same for Z87 and Z97 systems as well. I was determined to go with a single drive because I have a SFF case and got an excellent deal on a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO.ĭisclaimer: This method worked on my personal Z77 (Ivy Bridge) system. If you ever want to do updates or restore a corrupted OS, two separate drives are always easier to work with. It should also be said that it would be a lot simpler in the long term to just use a separate physical drive for each operating system. If that is the case, this method isn’t for you, and you should keep looking for something that will work for you. Some people may not own three flash drives or may not want to deal with GParted.

Note: First I wanted to say that this is the easiest method I found that works with my workflow.
