Hello,
I have a total of 3 external hard drives:  2x 3,5" (2TB resp. 1TB) and 1x 2,5" (4TB). I use Ventoy 1.0.30.  On the two 3.5" hard drives I can install Ventoy normally. It doesn't matter whether I use the MBR or the GPT partition style.  I can boot from both hard drives without any problems.
When I install Ventoy on the 2.5" hard drive, I can only do it in GPT partition style (because MBR only supports hard drives up to 2TB). However, when I boot from this drive, I only get a black screen with "VT" in the upper left corner. is displayed.  I had the same problem with the old version 1.0.27, but then it was not "VT", but "GR". is displayed at boot time.  Why won't Ventoy boot from this hard drive ?
Did you install Ventoy in Windows by Ventoy2Disk.exe?
If so, there is a bug in Ventoy2Disk.exe for 2TB+ disk, see https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/614
