  Ventoy integration
Posted by: Electroguard - 03-02-2021, 01:07 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Hi,
Ventoy is already amazing as it is, and still keeps innovating to get even better.
So I would like to offer some suggestions for innovation in case they may be feasible and welcome… all aimed at helping Ventoy to fit in and integrate more with existing hdd usage, thereby making it even more useful and indispensable.
And at least it can offer some food for thought.

1.  Currently Ventoy can be installed on hdd and preserve some unused space after it, but it could be helpful to have option for allocating a specified amount for Ventoy use, and preserving whatever is remaining.

At the moment Ventoy overwrites the partition table for itself, oblivious to any existing contents, thereby losing bootable access to any remaining existing partitions which may have been deliberately preserved.
So to avoid losing existing partitions and their contents:

2.  Could Ventoy offer an option to detect existing partitions? and if so... 
3.  Could Ventoy have an option to install itself into the first partition to leave the remainder untouched?
4.  Or even better, could Ventoy have an option to select any chosen existing partition to install itself into?

Lastly, with the aim of integrating Ventoy into existing drives:

5.  Could Ventoy 'spoof' a version of windows (or linux) so that it could be recognised by subsequent installers (such as MX) and added to their grub menu? (the resulting menu entry could be changed later, eg: by grub customizer)
(this would allow other OS's to be installed after Ventoy without making Ventoy unbootable)

6.  Instead of always creating a new grub menu, perhaps Ventoy could have an option to add itself as an entry into an existing grub menu file if present?
(this would allow Ventoy to be safely installed AFTER other OS's)

7.  Ideally, could Ventoy offer 'discovery' of existing bootable partitions and add them into its Ventoy menu?
(this last feature would enable Ventoy to be added as a simple boot repair tool allowing non-booting OS's to be made bootable again from the Ventoy menu)

The ability to integrate with existing bootable drives, giving bootable access to all of Ventoy's ISO's as well as any previously installed bootable OS (or multiple OS's), would make Ventoy even more unique and powerful.


Thank you for your amazing creativity,
Robin.

  WriteFile error ErrCode:87
Posted by: strongbad75 - 02-28-2021, 06:28 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (8)

Hello All,
I have run several version of Ventoy on many drives with great success!  Love this project.
My brand new drive, OWC Envoy Pro FX (Thunderbot 3/USB-C) fails to work with Ventoy. I have tried many versions and they all fail in the same way.
I have tried 2 different computers, the LiveCD, and a Linux VM, which all fail in the same manner.

I have attached the log file for your assistance.

Thanks.

P.S. Log now added.

  unable to boot from disk
Posted by: husky - 02-24-2021, 12:56 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (6)

Hi!
I recently found that the modem port inside my Lenovo T14 AMD can be used to host an NVMe drive, too, and decided to use it as an emergency drive containing several ISOs and the like in order to rescue anything if necessary - sysrescd, kali, ubuntu, ...

So I got me Ventoy 1.0.35 and unpacked the tar on my Linuxmint OS, fired up a terminal and ran 

Code:
sudo ./Ventoy2disk.sh -i -s -g /dev/nvme1n1

Then I enrolled the necessary key using 

Code:
sudo mokutil --import ENROLL_THIS_KEY_IN_MOKMANAGER.cer

and copied some ISOs to the Ventoy partition. Then I rebooted in order to verify the enrollment. After completing it I rebooted and opened the boot device list. My Linuxmint drive was listed as 'ubuntu' and started up like before, but the Ventoy disk was displayed only with its manufacturer and model. Nevertheless I selected it and tried to boot into ventoy - but to no avail.

Since I ended up with Grub 2.02 command line (and my Linuxmint uses Grub 2.04) I think I was in the correct location.
I tried to load the Grub config, but this only resulted in an error
Code:
error: cannot find command vt_list_img
being displayed and then a strangely looking grub menu came up, telling me that no ISO could be found.

Obviously something is wrong - but I'm a bit lost for now.

Any hint anyone?

  No problems, all success ..
Posted by: aristo123 - 02-24-2021, 12:52 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

Usually I only join forums if I run into problems seeking solutions. Once in a blue moon do I do this, which is join a forum to report full and complete success and to say thank you.
All ISO's I care about just worked right away(mixture of mbr, uefi, winpe, linux), something no other utility (except easy2boot which, really, uses ventoy) was able to achieve: multibootusb, Yumi, several others.
But that isn't why I'm posting. I'm posting because Ventoy is *elegant* and beautifully designed; in it's most basic form it's perfect for the most non-technical user, just put an ISO onto the visible drive, and it just works, nothing to run/execute! But then I looked at the "plugins" and they solved EVERY one of my "what if I have this more complex scenario?" needs: custom titles, order, theme, file overrides, uefi/mbr sensitization, on and on, all so easy to configure via json.

I have seen applications like Ventoy before and they all share one thing in common: their creator was a craftsman, loved his craft, and thus created beautiful things.
So: thank you Mr. Ventoy for an excellent utility !

Report of success with an ISO that isn't mentioned on the Ventoy compatibility list:
Macrium Rescue CD (linux version)
