1. Windows 10 2019 LTSC 1809 installed in Virtualbox and fully updated.
Verified booting correctly in VBox multiple times.
2. Installed Ventoy (GPT mode) to External USB HDD.
3. Copied ventoy_vhdboot.img (win 10 based) to ventoy folder in Ventoy partition.
4. Copied VHD file to Ventoy partiton.
5. Booted using UEFI menu to USB HDD (Secure boot off), ventoy loads up.
6. Selected vhd file, shows the text stuff and then goes to unresponsive black screen. (waited 5 minutes) Have to manually switch laptop off.

What I tried:
Used NTFS for Ventoy partition. Same result.
Used Win7 based img file. Now stuck at spinning circle forever with very little HDD led blinking activity sometimes.

Please suggest next step to troubleshoot.

Additional Question:
Is there a way to install ventoy to a USB flash drive, boot up and select vhd file from another hard disk? What I mean is load from a disk/partition other than "Ventoy" on the USB drive.

Hi!
When i boot from ISO (WinPE) with grub2 or g4d, and try install windows im gettin the error (See screenshots):
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may notsupport booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in thecomputer's BIOS menu.

But i can boot and install windows form ISO with ventoy without any problem.
how can i know where is the problem or how ventoy bypasses it?

I have a 32bit efi with a 64bit processor. (cherrytrail) I can boot the following os with YUMI--- https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/iso/Fatdog64-721.iso ---
without problems.  when I use ventoy it hangs at the last boot stage  before launching window manager any ideas

I'm seeing many duplicate menu items (ISO's). Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Hi guys . I need some help. I created my flash drive and when I boot and select to do it by they flash drive with ventoy the pc goes directly to my bios without showing the isos options to boot. When I boot it thinks a little , doesn't show any error and goes to the bios.
It is something with secure boot. If i disable it it boots normally.

I have selected on ventoy's menu Option- secure boot support but it seems  not working.

Any ideia to overpass this problem?

I have a x570 Motherboard.

使用VENTOY启动Gandalf PE之后。并不能自动加载ISO至Y盘。于是写了个批处理。利用Gandalf PE卷标“Win10PESE” 自动加载ISO同时调整至Y盘盘符

批处理需要和ISO放置同一路径。同时需要修改ISO文件名

@echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion


cd /d "%~dp0"
SET CurDir=%CD%

explorer.exe "%CurDir%\Windows_PE_Gandalf_tools.iso"

ping 127.1 -n 5 >nul

for %%i in (Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C) do (
  vol %%i:|findstr "Win10PESE">nul&& set drivername=%%i:\)


mountvol >%CurDir%\volname.txt

for /f "delims=" %%j in ('type "%CurDir%\volname.txt"') do (
set "str=%%j"
>>$ echo,!str: =!
)
move $ "%CurDir%\volname.txt" >nul

for /f "delims=" %%c in (%CurDir%\volname.txt) do if "%%c"=="%drivername%" (set guid=!char! &goto :end) else (set char=%%c)


:end
echo %drivername%
echo %guid%
echo y | del %CurDir%\volname.txt
mountvol %drivername% /D
mountvol Y:\ %guid%
pause >nul

Ventoy persistence backend image files 4.0

https://github.com/ventoy/backend/releas...images.zip

看介绍是包含vtoycow格式的文件。

但压缩包内并没有vtoycow格式的持久化文件。

压缩包尺寸与3.0的体积相同。已经重新下载数次测试仍是如此。

Hello,
In the F6 submenu, I would like that when we click on for example "Boot on linux iso", it boots on the right iso. Is there a grub command that allows you to do this: it's a bit like the menu expiration and autostart.
Thanks in advance

hello everyone,
i just want to say I stumbled across ventoy in a thread and as a former yumi user I'm really impressed.  functions great.  created usb with gpt and exfat.  this allowed me to make a persistence file greater than 4gb for live boot os.  I then realized you can create a single boot .vdi in virtualbox with the "efi os" checked off. so I completed the os install and copied and rename file to lbuntu.vdi.vtoy but have been unsuccessful.  after init boot it stops at (initrfs) prompt.  I did copy ventoy.disk.img, ventnoy_vhdboot.img, and ventoy_wimboot.img file to /dev/part1/ventoy directory I also created an entry for it in /dev/part1/ventoy/ventoy_grub.cfg I know there's alot that can be going wrong and hard to diagnose but is there a combo I'm using incrorectly or something missing?   this stuff is very versatile
