note for developers

Hello
You have decided to choose the fat16 format instead of the FAT32 format.   I don't know why. I see that:

This allows a gain of 4MB.  So not important!

This does not allow windows to read the content.    If that was the goal, it is discussed. Personally I think it's a shame.  See my screenshot.

Some EFI computers don't know how to boot with a FAT16 partition ((Dell Latitude E4310) . It is necessary to destroy everything and to refabricate by duplication. This is not at all fun! 


So I ask you to suggest the FAT32 format to store the software as the way that suits you.

Does it support IMG files? if not could you add support for it

Tested DLC Boot 2019 v3.6 build 190411 with ventoy-1.0.13.

I create ISO (of'coz it's my designation) DLCBoot_2019_v3.6_build_190411.iso with DLCBoot.exe (Ventoy instruction inside archive).

Download (and ISO create - 1st link)

Hi,

thanks for creating Ventoy! While still not perfect, this has already superseded my own multiboot script that is (surprise, surprise) pretty badly maintained, as booting stuff from USB isn't my daily business and I also do not have collaborators working on it.

Now, I tested a bunch of my old images and given the opportunity, I also downloaded the most recent versions and ran them as well. Here's a list of them for you to add to the front page ISO compatibility list.

Images failing to boot are not meant as an immediate call for action - a big chunk of them are either old versions that do have a newer working revision (say antiX), or might be outdated/abandoned in general (e.g. aptosid). There's also some non-OpenSource tools (Solaris) that might have no interest in cooperation to make things work. I consider images without size information as obsolete and already deleted them from my drive. I ran all of them for the lulz as I had them available and also to document progress in making USB boot friendly install media.

I would however like to see a couple of i686 and earlier versions working, e.g. Debian has a history of making noncompatible media. Now there's a working x64 version, but i386 disks are still stalling during setup. Manjaro also does not have working i386 media, likely due to them being two years old and probably EOL, as current versions are shipped as x64 only.

As for my test setup: Bare metal machine with AMD FX-6300, 16GB of RAM, Radeon 380 and a 3440x1440 display, Mellanox ConnectX-3 10GbE card (some images choke on that until deciding the onboard LAN provides an usable link). Images denoted as "weird resolution" force 4:3 video in fullscreen mode which is a bit of a squeeze. Some offer only 16:9/16:10/4:3 modes in correct aspect ratio which is fine for emergency media.

Hello,

ive had tested the ISO of the "desinfec't" image of the german magazine " c't " by heise.de.
Its a debian based image with 4 virusscanner (ESET, F-Secure, Kaspersky, Sophos). Desinfect is a very trusted scanner in germany.

worked on my Lenovo IdeaPad 320 in BIOS & UEFI.

Hello,
I have tryed to install ventoy into a 8Gb USB stick with some ISO and everything works fine I can boot into UEFI mode or Legacy mode. So because it's works fine i have buy an external case for my M.2 SSD that I don't use (cause of the upgrade of my PC) and I have installed Ventoy into it and I put the same ISOs as those are in my 8Gb USB stick. I reboot my PC and press f11 to enter into the Boot drive select and here nothing appears apart the OS installed on my internal drive. So I change the UEFI mode to Legacy and select my SSD with ventoy to boot and it's worke fine.

Did someone know why Ventoy doesn't work in UEFI mode with my 256Gb SSD but it's works fine with 8Go USB stick ?

我现在手上经常碰到ARM和MIPS的CPU，请问ventoy什么时候可以支持这些CPU，谢谢

Toda vez que tento inicializar a formatação do Windows 10, é nesse loop infinito, isso só acontece quando uso o Ventoy, tentei colocá-lo em vários outros drivers de caneta, mas fica lento ao usar outro programa para fazer uma unidade flash USB, entra rapidamente na formatação do Windows 10

Bonjour, j'ai préparer  ma cle  usb de 16giga avec ventoy la dernière version , j'ai ensuite copié ubuntu 20 desktop. mai lors du boot en mode BIOS , lorsque je sélectionne l'iso de Ubuntu ,j'ai cette erreur
