Dear all,

After numerous attempts with various programs to create a working multiboot usb stick, I finally succeeded with Ventoy. So I thank and congratulate the author for providing an excellent piece of software.

I am working on linux (mainly Mint 18), on an Asus CM6330 desktop with an intel i7 cpu, dating from 2012. I eventually used a new Sandisk Ultra 32 GB usb stick.

One problem which I had to overcome to get Ventoy working effectively was to format the main partition on the usb stick as ext3 (using Gparted), after installing Ventoy on the stick. If the default fat format of the partition was used, I could copy isos to the stick, and activate the Ventoy menu when booting, but no iso would load (whether in legacy or uefi mode). It is possible that the problem is limited to some rather old machines, but I suggest that the Ventoy documentation should indicate the desirability for linux users of formatting the main partition on the usb stick as ext3 after installing Ventoy on the stick.

Best wishes,
Peter Stone

Hi,

I can boot without any issue using Ventoy if the BIOS of the PC is configured in CSM mode.
If I disable the CSM mode (and do NOT set the secure boot), then I can't boot on the Ventoy USB stick.
This could not be a problem but I "think" that, when I boot with the BIOS in CSM mode, this prevents my Mageia iso to be able to reconfigure the boot loader in case I need to do it.
I'd like to test to launch the Mageia iso with BIOS NOT set to CSM mode.
My question : do you know how to do to have the Ventoy USB stick to be bootable when the CSM mode of my Bios is not set ?

Regards.

Xuo.

Hi everybody, I have been trying boot Cr OS Linux (ChromeOS)  but sadly without luck.
If any of you knows if there is something to make this boot possible... I left a link for easy access

Hopefully someone will be able to help!!!

Hello!
I've faced a problem booting windows 10 ISO. After selecting appropriate menu entry i see black screen with underscore and after couple of seconds it gets me back to previous menu.
As far as I can see, last entries on logs are "no mapping". It tries couple of times and exit.
bonus question: is there a built-in option in ventoy for logging rather than editing boot entries manually?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi! 
I have a suggestion: in general, ventoy folder on first partition is mostly for a theme customizations and usually not used daily. How about making it hidden out-of a box? Those who need customizations may read manual and find that folder and those sho don't need it, ...well they dont need it anyways.

For those who wish to hide it without damaging its functionality (at first i thought renaming it to .ventoy - that will not work)

Linux users
cd /your_flash_root_folder (e.g. /media/admin/ventoy)
echo ventoy > ./.hidden

Windows users
Just mark ventoy (and .hidden file if you did previous step) folder hidden in its properties. 
That's it. That will prevent ventoy folder to be accidently tampered while using flash drive
