ShadowProtect Recovery Environment is WinPE based.  However when I select it I get the press any key to boot message but despite pressing a key the prompt remains there and eventually times out and returns to the Ventoy menu.  In my ventoy.json file I specify CLI and the initial menu is CLI however after a period of time I'm returned to the Ventoy menu in GUI mode.  Why would a WinPE based bootable ISO fail to boot and why am I returned to a GUI Ventoy menu?

By the way, despite my posts, this is an excellent software - very well designed.

I have in Ventoy partition created a subfolder "ventoy" and in it "ventoy.json".  In this file I have:

{
    "theme": {
        "display_mode": "CLI"
    }
}
{
    "control": [
         { "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/BootableISOs" }
    ]
}


I got the CLI working.  My UFD has a lot of .EFI files but they are not in the BootableISOs folder so they should not appear in the menu - only ISO/EFI files in the ufdI\BootableISOs should appear correct?

V1.0.15.

Any way to automatically/manually Randomly change the Background Image while booting every time or each time visiting the directories while in Tree View.

Like, if I enter ISO directory then the Background image will shuffle/change and so as with WIM directory...

Just a though if possible. No insist...

Running Linux Mint19.3-MATE. Ventoy(finally) installed, and on the 16GB flash drive I have the iso's for antiX32b, BionicPup32b, and BionicPup64b. AntiX and BionicPup64, boot, and run, no problems. My trouble is BinicPup32 will not boot. I have made 3 different downloads of it, and placed each, 1 at a time, onto the drive,in the proper partition(with the 2 working iso's), and it just won't run.
(Sorry-I have the debug directory, but it doesn't allow me to attach the files.)
Please use this link to view the debug directory: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...sp=sharing

Thanks for any assistance.

Hello,

I have an idea to improve the Auto Installation plugin for Windows to include the possibility to copy $OEM$ folders to the iso when it is in use (like an autounattended.xml), with the possibility to propose multiple $OEM$ folders for ISOs (like the xml way in the json).

That way, this opens the possibility to include parameters, apps, etc to an unattended installation with a completly untouched Windows ISO.

Thanks in advance!

I think there is a problem when running parted magics secure erase feature for ATA drives when booting PM from a ventoy usb.

Parted Magic will boot just fine, it will allow you to secure erase NVMe drives, Sanitize ATA Devices, but when you click on Secure Erase ATA drives nothing happens and the menu to select which drive does not appear.



So to test PM I made a PM usb using rufus, ATA secure erase works fine.

Then made a E2B with alives grub2 file manger booted PM with default iso extension and secure erase worked fine, rebooted with alives grub2 file manger and selected the ventoy boot option and secure erase on ATA drives would not work.



So I rebooted the ventoy usb and selected the grubfm_multiarch.iso, selected PM with partnew option and all worked good.



It is only the secure erase of ATA drives that does not work, I can see the drives and their contents with PM file manager.



Tested with

Ventoy 1.14, 1.13

3 systems using uefi and bios



2 different USB drives



pmagic_2020_02_23.iso

pmagic_2019_09_03.iso



Any ideal why this is happening or what could be blocking ATA erase to run or load

On one of my systems the Ventoy menu appears all blurry and the cursor - you can't tell what is selected.  Same UFD works great on my other two systems.

So after creating my Ventoy UFD using V10.014,  I went into its VTOYEFI partition and added a text file to both its root and in its Ventoy folder, named ventoy.json, hoping to tell it to display the menu in TEXT mode (CLI).  It had no effect.  If at the Ventoy menu, I press c and type in terminal_output console (enter) then press ESC I do get the text menu.  What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

My ventoy.json file is a text file; it contains:

{
    "theme": {
        "file": "/ventoy/theme/blur/theme.txt",
        "gfxmode": "640x480",
        "display_mode": "CLI",
        "ventoy_left": "5%",
        "ventoy_top": "95%",
        "ventoy_color": "#0000ff",
        "fonts": [
            "/ventoy/theme/blur/Hack-12.pf2",
            "/ventoy/theme/blur/Hack-14.pf2",
            "/ventoy/theme/blur/Hack-16.pf2"
        ]
    }
}
