Does anybody has any DOS to successfully boot with Ventoy for updating BIOS/UEFI/Firmware etc.?

I have FreeDos.ima but this type of image is only supported by Grub4DOS and not supported by Ventoy.

Would be appreciated if someone could provide with some working type of image with DOS/FreeDOS/PCDos etc.

Thanks.

I have a PPKG file that I would like to have automatically detected during a windows 10 installation.

The current process is as follows:
Boot Windows 10 with Ventoy
When the OOBE screen comes up, we insert the USB stick with the PPKG file
Windows 10 completes its final configuration

What I would like to do:
Boot Windows 10 with Ventoy
Choose the PPKG file (or perhaps an autounattend.xml?)
Windows 10 installs/completes on its own

I know there is a plugin to do unattended installations, but I haven't found a way to "inject" the PPKG.

Any advice or direction is appreciated.

Hello

I want to use the persistence for ubuntu in version 20.04 installed in legacy mode.

I have tried a few times to make it work without success.

Today I updated to version v30. It still doesn't work in my context.

Here is the content of my persistence file.

Thank you very much for your cool tool! I switched to it entirely, meaning with the use of the Windows VHD Boot Plugin only VHDs reside on my hard disk's ventoy partition. This way I can separate my workspaces in a clean way. I like that very much!

Now, when a new windows version is released I would like to do a clean install to a new, empty VHD. So I did the following:

1) Inside my booted Windows VHD I start the "Disk Management" tool of Windows. There I create a new VHD on the ventoy partition, attach it and initialize it. Just an example picture which tool I mean:



2) In Rufus I choose "Windows To Go" and install the image to the VHD. Just an example picture:



3) After that image creation has completed I restart to Ventoy boot menu and choose the newly created VHD to boot.
3) Then it boots and Windows configures for the first start and everything seems fine.
4) However, after a minute it fails with the following error message:



Could anybody please give me advice on how to create a bootable VHD based on a regular Windows iso? Probably I am missing some important step here.


Greetings

New version of Ventoy (1.0.30) is detected as malware ... Win32/Emali.A!cl (Trojan)

Hey – first off, absolutely LOVE Ventoy and been using it for a year now.

I recently got an IODD Mini, and was curious if it was possible to convert an existing Ventoy USB stick to an ISO. The main reason is, I have a lot of small *.wim files and *.isos on my Ventoy and don't want to scroll through 150 images on the little IODD screen.

I tried using dd, creating a 1:1 image of the stick but no success. Unfortunately I don't know much about how Ventoy works on a technical level and couldn't find any documentation about it, so I cannot really figure out on how I could modify the EFI and BOOT folder contents either. Any pointers on how that can be achieved? Would be much appreciated.


PS: Any way to get BitCoin Donations going?

My laptop boots ONLY UEFI.  I have an iso that when used with Ventoy on a usb drive does not bppt (but it does boot when mode is set to legacy on other laptops).  Is there ANY WAY i can get this iso to boot uefi as my new laptop is only uefi boot ?

Thanks for your nice how2

here

It worked for me creating a mint20 vdi.vtoy

which runs perfect from my ventoy usb drive.
Ventoy sees this vdi.vtoy and i can boot from usb menu.

you said to boot from hd

Add a menu like follows to ventoy_grub.cfg, only need to change

Hey,
is it possible to boot an ISO Image in Legacy boot mode using Ventoy started in UEFI bootmode?
And conversely, can I run the ISO image in UEFI boot mode when started Ventoy in Legacy boot mode?
Greetings!

版主，你好！
       我在组装台式机装win7x64和win10x64系统时，Win10有时候点击ISO文件后进去了会黑屏，有时候能正常安装成功，win7就一直不能安装成功，提示缺少驱动器设备驱动程序，win7版是你测试过的“cn_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677408.iso”，Win10版本为“cn_windows_10_business_editions_version_1909_updated_jan_2020_x64_dvd_b3e1f3a6.iso”。请看附件切图
