If you have persistence working on an iso ie you made changes and they stuck...not just that the menu offered to boot "with persistence" please post what iso and your ventoy.json.  If so, are you running the most recent version of ventoy?

I've tried 4 different iso's.  Of them one hangs on boot with or without persistence.  The other 3 give me the option to choose "with persistence" but don't actually HAVE persistence from what I can tell.

The ventoy.json I used is (confirmed by https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ as correect):

{
  "persistence":[
      {
        "image":"/ISO/redobackup-livecd-1.0.5.1.iso",
        "backend":"/persistence/redobackup.img"
      },
      {
        "image":"/ISO/manjaro-kde-20.0.3-200606-linux56.iso",
        "backend":"/persistence/manjaro-kde-20.0.3.img"
      },
      {

        ]
      },
      {

        "backend":"/persistence/lfa-64bit-lxde.img"
      }
  ]
}

Hello
When I install ventoy, the entire receiving medium is automatically formatted in two partitions: EXFAT and FAT16.
This destroys my three partitions EXFAT, LUCKS and FAT32
Is there an option to just download the software to my FAT32 partition?

Thanks for reading me.

hello

this is a message for developers

Currently if the ventoy.json file does not exist.
or if the keyword "persistence" is not found in the ventoy.json file
or if what is written inside the keyword "persistence" has bad syntax
The application decides that there will be no persistence
it's a very bad choice.

It should decide that there is persistence and propose the second screen with the first line allowing to choose not to have persistence and the following lines should list all the files present in the persistence directory.
Indeed it seems to me that the number of files present will never be very large.

In summary: Imposing this codification on users for only a few files is a very bad idea.
If one day the user wants to filter the list, he will make the effort to correctly code the "persistence" chapter in the ventoy.json file.

FYI: I am a member of a French forum offering ventoy

Hello.

Message for developers

With windows I don't know how to initialize the persistent file.

If someone gives me a ventoy key with a persistent file, I may need to initialize this persistent file again.
You should offer this option in the second screen immediately after choosing no persistence and before the list of the persistent files.

Thank you in advance for this implementation

Greetings everyone,

Hope you're fine over there..!
I formatted my usb flash drive with secure boot enabled from options in Ventoy but when I boot from the same I'm geeting this error "Booting in insrcure mode" before entering into OS selection screen although Secure Boot mode is enabled in bios setup but still getting this error.
System: Dell Vostro[6th generation Intel hardware] support both uefi & legacy bios.

Regards.

Hello,

I have an issue with ventoy 1.0.12.

My multiple Windows 7 x64 iso (home basic, premium, pro., ultimate) with USB 3.0 driver doesn't work, it show after loaded the files an error message:

winload.exe could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrumpt (see pic. 1).
I have similar error message on EUFI but with winload.efi this time.

If I try to boot only with the boot.wim file, the setup begin but I have the pop up:
A CD/DVD driver is mising.. (On Intel Z97, Even on USB 2.0 port).

This iso work with yumi multiple windows installer bootmgr or wimboot option (see pic. 2).
I think the problem is to Ventoy doesn't support any multiple Windows 7 iso.

On Ventoy, single W7 iso and multiple W10 iso work well.

Tested on old intel laptop (BIOS), intel Z97 desktop (BIOS + UEFI) and virtualbox vm.
