How to add option to boot from hard disk drive

Add the option to search and load windows when the timer expires.

Howdy!

I can't get ./Ventoy2Disk.sh to install to an NVMe drive under various Linux distributions, though SATA SSD works fine. I suspect it has something to do with the partition names starting with a p, such as p1, p2, etc. where on SATA it only has the number itself, such as /dev/sdb1, sdb2, etc. With NVMe it looks like /dev/nvme1n1p1, nvme1n1p2, etc. Here is the error where it dumps out:


ubuntu@vps:~/ventoy-1.0.21$ sudo ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -I -r 400000 -s -g /dev/nvme1n1

I am still looking for a way to boot DOS properly. My main concern is to use Dos for BIOS flash functions.
In my opinion, an ISO is not suitable for this, because I always want to add new flash files and would have to create a new ISO every time.
In my opinion the best way would be to boot DOS from a VHD.
Has anyone already done that ???
The 2nd possibility would be to boot a DOS ISO, (RAM) and Ventoy mounts into the ISO-Boot a directory from the USB-Stick as DOS drive.

I found something interesting, maybe you can realize this with Ventoy. (The page is in german)

If you have another idea, I would be very interested to hear how you solve it for you.

Hi,

Well, I'm using Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon and trying to install Ventoy but I just can't. I Should be able to do it with root privileges but isn't working anyway.

Even as root user it says " Failed to access /dev/sdd, maybe root privilege is needed!" 

I am an Operating System Architect and yet I am a Newbie.  Lol.

I have been building debs for Ventoy going back to version 1.0.06 until today 1.0.21  (Current)  The original software is written for Windows, but that does not mean in Linux we can not have the same.  I have spoken with LongPanda he is on board.

Every version of Ventoy can be found https://os-builder.com/UETOYS/?C=M;O=D in deb format.  Either hit CTRL + F any search for "ventoy"

I will not be bothered to drop a link every time LongPanda decides to update its software.  I am building Operating Systems.

I have updated all debs as well written a web-service for Ventoy in deb format as well now Arch Linux format.  https://os-builder.com/arch/

Using the service?

When I boot that drive it is NASTY.  2TB "Thumbdrive" on a ThreadRipper Pro with USB 3.2 2X2 20 Gigabits per second.  Can you imagine 2TB of raw ISO's off a 20 Gigabit drive?  That is why my computer is called JackTheRipper.  It is a 5975WX with 256GB and 8 channels of ECC RAM.

Rest assured it is built:

TheeMahn,

is there a way to change the default iso image folder with a script?

Hi,

just wanted to now if it is possible to start ventoy by PXE Boot.
