I have the "Professional" version and have used it to make the boot disk ISO - and added that ISO to Ventoy.

It boots up just fine, it 'sees' the Ventoy Disk but it does not 'see' the fixed SSD with the C\- drive on it.

Any thoughts?

I have an issue that i've documented here: https://github.com/ziggyds/iventoy/issues/8

In escense, there is an issue with iventoy logs when used within a docker container when the logs are mapped to persistant storage outside of the container.

When iVentoy senses an error (Like an ISO is copied to the ISO folder and iventoy dosnt like the ISO) The software crashes within the container and creates an infinite loop cycle of complaining about not being able to find certain log file names that it expects to find.) 

To fix the issue, i have to remove the problematic ISO file from the ISO foler, and then delete or rename the log.txt file and restart. Then iventoy starts again.

It seems that iventoy is referencing individual log file names in its own log output but the log file being created by the container on the persistant storage is being saved as a single file and saved as log.txt.

I understand that this may not be an official way of using iventoy (in a container), but theres no reason i can think of why iventoy shouldnt work where other applications (netboot.xyz etc) work seemlessly.

See the link at the top of the post for a few log screenshots and more detail.

Any advice on mapping the logs externally would be great, a external mapping dosn't seem to cut it...

Hello, I've got a problem with booting Ventoy. My main partition is now unformatted.
I had many ISOs on my installation and now everything is gone.
What should I do to recover my Ventoy USB?
I think it was overwritten somehow by windows commands:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Hi.

I have an old pc and i want to install the win11 at this but ventoy doesn't boot correctly.


It bring me that final screen after finish load the usb-hdd i create with the latest version of ventoy.








Can you please fix this?

Hello.

I have recently started using Ventoy with succes.

However there is one very nuisance. A Ventoy prepared USB-stick (under Windows 10), if a extra ISO is to be added, takes maybe 4 minutes before recognized by the PC (with Windows 10). Before recognizing, all USB-related programs (and Windows Explorer), fail to start. After recognizing, all functions well and normal. Even unplugging and replugging the USB-stick gives then no problem (untill replugging in a new started PC).
The are many reports from different peaple about the same problem.

I found that the Ventoy-stick has a FAT16 Ventoy-system partition. 
I have earlier found, on my PC with Windows 10, that memory-cards which are FAT16 formatted (so 2GB or 4GB cards) give serious confusing recognizing problems. Probably because there are several different recognizing ID-'s for FAT16. When I applied FAT32 for those cards all problems were over.

So I suggest to the developer of Ventoy to change the Ventoy-system partition to FAT32, in my expectation that then the long recognizing problem under Windows10 is over.

I feel I have looked everywhere, obviously not ! I just find this to download - even on the page devoted to it.

Anyway, if anyone can enlighten me as to where I will find it I would be most obliged.

Thanks

Hello,

I captured the image of a Windows machine through WDS.
But when I add it to iVentoy, iVentoy shuts down.

Does iVentoy accept personal Windows iso ?

Thank you for your answers.

As a new member and user, I am very pleased with Ventoy. It is absolutely magnificent.

I have found this issue when using Ventoy on my Toshiba 500GB SSD. As per the title, the VENTOYEFI partition is not visible on this SSD in Windows File Managers - but it is there!. The SSD boots and works just fine and the VENTOYEFI partition IS visible in WinPE applications.

When I use Ventoy to set up various other Flash Drives, I see the VENTOYEFI partition on those flash drives in Windows file managers - but not on this SSD?

Any thoughts?

1st test > iventoy 1.0.19
Asus router as DHCP server ( no advance setting for nextserver and bootfile )
All settings are default except > DHCP server : External / Externalnet ( I tried both)
Gives error : No boot device found ( both Bios and UEFI mode)

Only way to get it work is to change DHCP server setting to " Internal"

I am using AIOboot PXEboot from more then 5yrs
Same network setup. Pc boots without any problem.
( All Pc I clone or repair with this PXE setup)

Please check image for detail.

I think something is missing in iventoy to work with external DHCP without any advance settings.

Hi @ventoy
A user asked how to install iVentoy on a Synology NAS drive.
I couldn't find an answer because I don't have any knowledge on this subject. Can iventoy be used on this device?
if it is possible How can we do it?
