Hi. 
I'm using custom USB Stick. grub2, bcd, etc.. bootloader.
So, i use grub2 as main bootloader. and i tried to road ventoy efi. (by using extracted  ventoy.disk.img.xz and grubx64_real.efi)

Until Ver 0.20, Good work. but now Ver 0.21 has an error?? has required 10 second. why??

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,

Hi,

Hi, Ventoy new version files come out, but how to upgrade stick?

Hello @Longpanda

Okay, lets face it...VENTOY is a image file generator, where the file/options is used to create a bootable USB Ventoy drive!

That bootable USB drive is to be populated by the user with their choice of ISO files. After population with ISO files, the Ventoy USB is booted and Ventoy will show the populated ISOs as choice(s) for booting.

VENTOY’s generator come is 3 different choices

• A Windows program which creates the VENTOY USB
  
• A Linux program which creates the VENTOY USB
  
• An ISO which, when it is built upon a CD or DVD or USB or..., it, when booted will run the Linux program to create the VENTOY USB
  

Question
I already have a ventoy device that has Linux installed on its reserved partition and it works fine. Unfortunately, the installed linux will die if I upgrade the ventoy system with a newer version. Can this bug be fixed in later versions? I know it can't be right now because the reserved partition should be kept unchanged and the EFI/ubuntu folder of the VTOYEFI partition should be left unchanged. Also, the ventoy/ventoy/ventoy_grub.cfg file should be left unchanged (I think this already works).
