Been there , done that, ditched the whole multi boot from one HD.
Solution:
Save yourself some serious hassle, get a HD rack, and switch your HD.
As many OSses as you want without any troubles.

Won't work with an USB stick, you need a special soft to make it bootable.
Contrary to flops USB sticks don't have a specific boot sector located at cylinder 0/head 0/sector 1 , the soft needs to create a boot sector so that the Mobo can find and read it upon boot.
But anyway, a USB stick is really too slow to run an OS from it.
It's only interesting for OS install purposes, nothing more.
The soft I usually use to create a bootable USB stick is Rufus (Win).

Or in Linux UNetbootin

My two cents........
