Post (English – faithful translation)
Hello,
I am trying to boot a Ventoy USB drive in UEFI mode using QEMU with OVMF, but QEMU always drops into the EFI Shell instead of automatically booting Ventoy.
What works

• The Ventoy USB boots correctly on real hardware in UEFI mode
  
• The Ventoy USB boots correctly in QEMU using Legacy/BIOS mode
  
• From the EFI Shell, manual boot works:
  
  fsX:cd EFI\BOOTBOOTX64.EFI
  
• After running this, Ventoy starts normally.
  

• Automatic UEFI boot when using QEMU
  
• Even when using:
  • startup.nsh
    
  • placed in the root of the USB
    
  • Clean or regenerated OVMF VARS files
    
  • Passing the USB drive directly as a raw block device
    QEMU still always boots into the EFI Shell.
    

• Host OS: Linux
  
• QEMU:
  qemu-system-x86_64
  
• UEFI firmware:
  OVMF_CODE_4M.fd
  
• +
  OVMF_VARS_4M.fd
  
• USB drive passed as a raw block device
  
• Standard Ventoy layout (GPT with EFI partition)
  

• QEMU + OVMF
  
• and Ventoy UEFI boot from a USB device?
  

• recommended QEMU settings for Ventoy UEFI boot?
  
• known workarounds (other than manual EFI Shell boot)?
  
• an explanation of why OVMF does not automatically detect
  BOOTX64.EFI
  
• on the Ventoy USB?
  

w我在使用ventoy安装操作系统的时候，通常都是用无人值守的配置文件进行硬盘的重新分区。在不同电脑上硬盘会有不同的配置，尤其是有时候有些电脑会同时具有机械和固态。经过大量测试，我发现使用这个VT_WINDOWS_DISK_CLOSEST_400参数一般都可以准确选择到固态硬盘.但是这个参数有个潜在的风险，他不会避开ventoy所在的U盘。我遇到过不止一次，使用自动安装配置文件后，ventoy自身被删除了。比较常见的原因是主板开启了vmd等需要额外安装驱动的情况。这个时候就比较无语，因为这意味着我需要重新制作一个ventoy的U盘，实际使用中还是要浪费不少时间的。
有没有办法能按照磁盘大小选择磁盘，同时还能避开ventoy自身呢？实际上就是想达到VT_WINDOWS_DISK_1ST_NONVTOY 和  VT_WINDOWS_DISK_CLOSEST_400两个参数配合的效果。

I am currently working on loading and booting Ventoy from an ISO file or CD/DVD media instead of traditional USB/HDD/SSD. Is anyone interested in collaborating with me on this?"

Hi, LongPanda !
Is it possible to use the Ventoy Injection Plugin with compressed files stored on a drive other than the Ventoy drive?

Hi Every one,

I want to remove this secation please guide

this post´s case is with a Foxconn H61 MX Motherboard and Intel Celeron G 1610 @2.6 Ghz that i don´t know if it is damaged on the port where I booted the ISO after pressing FN key and at the same time F1 to F12 keys, one F key at the same time with the FN key, pressing ALT + Ctrl +FN +Windows key+ Insert + Supr( above key) + Inicio +Fin + C+V+B, pressing ALT + Ctrl +FN +Windows key+ Insert + Supr( above key) + Inicio +Fin+V+B using a Logitech MK220 Keyboard, the image of the post shows the current display of the pc monitor which I want to regain control of without performing a forced shutdown, i want to be helped to  regain control of my PC if it is in the state were the monitor displays what is showed in the attached image

最近重新做了ventoy盘 发现运行windows镜像的时候 不能用normal模式 只能用wimboot模式
选择normal模式运行镜像的时候 会直接退出重启电脑（pe系统可以用normal进入 只有windows系统镜像不行）
用之前做过的ventoy盘 使用同一个镜像则可以正常进入
有人遇到过这种情况吗
ventoy-1.1.07

Image 1 appears to have more spacing between the menu items than Image 2. I like the look of Image 1 and want to make Image 2 spacing look like Image 1.

Thanks!

Ventoy can be booted in many ways, serving many needs.
I understand ExFAT is the preferred filesystem for the 1st partition, but that EXT and other filesystems are possible.
What are the downsides of using an EXT, or NTFS for the 1st partition? I am aware of the differences between filesystems, I am asking about the effect on other features in Ventoy?

Ventoy is a wonderful app that is helpful in many ways.
I would like to boot to Ubuntu live ISO, install a program, then shutdown, and later boot back to the same ISO, and have the program still installed. Does Ventoy have a way to do this? Thank you.
