Creating and installing Multiple Distros in to USB / Pendrive involves two parts:-
"After googling around for few days i found this useful script from www.multicd.tuxfamily.org. Multicd.sh is a shell script written by maybeway36 which enables two or more Live Linux distros / utilities to be able to boot from single CD/DVD. It is really very simple to create multi Live Linux distro in a single disc. Create a folder in your home folder and name it as multicd
. Put all the live Linux iso images along with multicd.sh script inside multicd folder. Close the window. Open terminal and give the following commands
cd multicd
chmod +x multicd*.sh
sudo ./multicd*.sh
Above commands will execute multicd.sh. While executing, this script will download few packages from Internet and make a new iso image called multicd.iso for you inside multicd folder. Check the size of multicd.iso image file. If it exceeds more than 700 mb then you must insert DVD to write it. Choose burn image option from your favorite image burning software to write multicd.iso file. Upon reboot, with the CD/DVD present inside CD/DVD drive, new GRUB will display list of live distros available in the disc. Choose your favorite one to login...
Note: When you download any Linux iso image from internet it will look like this "ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386" but this has to be renamed as ubuntu.iso (inside multicd folder). Presently this script supports 20 live distros. List of Live Linux distros supported in this script are given below (and the names accepted by this script are on the right side of each distro)."
There's a list of distro's on the blog page.
- Installing Multiple Live distro in to a USB / Pendrive.
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.
Support amongst others: Ubuntu (and official derivatives) 8.04 LTS 9.10 10.04 LTS 10.10 11.04 Daily CD Images, Fedora 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, Rawhide and lots lots more.
If you look at them image you can choose distro's or download ISO's yourself and add them or add a custom. And you can set this up on a hard disc or a USB flash drive.
I hope it is enough information but there is a lot more info on this blog.
You should try unetbootin to make a bootable usb. It's nice and simple
Or from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
also available for windows

The instruction on that page is for existing Ubuntu users. You can't do the same from Windows.
If you want to try Ubuntu for the first time, (No Ubuntu installed) you need to use a Windows tool to make your USB disk bootable with Ubuntu. See this section of the help page. It is for Windows users. If you are a MAC user, you should visit this page
Assuming you are referring the filesystem type, I suggest using Fat or Fat32 filesystem. The Windows tool automatically uses this format.
Dash is a modern and visually appealing replacement of traditional menu system. It is included in Unity. You can see this in action, if you "Try Ubuntu" before installation using the Live CD/USB.
Assuming you are referring to make a bootable USB, You can do this from Mac or Windows. You don't need to have Ubuntu for trying Ubuntu. This doesn't make good sense.
Hope this answer will help.
