Because I have "lost" the 1st partition containing the ISO-files of the USB-stick (-> https://forums.ventoy.net/showthread.php?tid=2696) and so the menue is empty I have tried using the feature "Browse/Boot Files In Local Disk" described in https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_browser.html. Browsing itself is working, I can see and select the local disk, the directory where the ISO´s are and the ISO-file(s) itself on the local disk, but they do not start. Ventory reports:
can´t open file
Ventoy not ready
chain empty failed
What is wrong? As mentioned in https://forums.ventoy.net/showthread.php?tid=2696 after realizing the loss of the 1st partition and that the stick does not boot I have done an update of ventoy which make the stick bootable again (but tdoes not restore the 1st partition), so Ventoy itself is working.

Ventoy system is are very good software and highly supportive.

I have add the symantec Ghost boot and Trueimage boot disk and OS image to my Ventoy USB flash drive.
I want to recovery the system image to harddisk , but I boot the computer to ghost or trueimage via ventoy USB, 
I can't find my system image in my USB , because the Ventoy system , ISO file and system image is in same partition.

I hope there is a way to use only one USB to execute system recovery via ventoy

Hello,
i do have a problem, i cant boot from pxe
I have executed iventoy.sh and can get access to the site
My DHCP Server is my Router 192.168.1.1 and iventoy is running on my Qnap with IP 192.168.1.50
In the Configuration is set ExternalNet and i have added in dnsmasq in my DDWRT firmware dhcp-boot=iventoy_loader_16000,192.168.1.50, i also tried changing it to iventoy_loader_16000_uefi
what did i wrong? I tried to pxe boot from VMWare but it just dont get any connection, on VMWare network is set to Bridge so it must get an IP Adress from Router, how i can see this i dont know

I dont have any Logfile cuz there is nothing to be logged when pxeboot failed completly

PS: I think that doesnt matter but i do have too a pihole docker installed with unbound as dns recursive server

please any help?
kindly regards

Hi, for Ventoy I am using a large USB-stick (256GB) with around 30GB in der 1st partition containing the ISO-files, formatted in exFAT, and a very large 3rd partition for stroage/backup purpose in NTFS.
Suddenly the stick does not boot and the 1st partiton is no longer accessible. I did an update of Ventoy. Now the sticks is booting, but the 1st partition is still unaccessible and the menue is (of course) empty. 
Beside the effort of copying all ISO-files and doing all the adjustments a new/re-install of Ventoy would destroy the 3rd partition (as far as I understand) and I would like to avoid making an update of this nearly 200GB ...
So my question: I there any way to only reconstruct/restore the (lost) 1st partition? 

把PE的iso镜像放到文件夹里，网内主机启动，选择加载pe镜像就会花屏，用的是微PE，加载系统安装镜像都没问题，但是有时候做维护想进入PE
请问是我启动方式不对吗，有没有测试过的可以正常加载启动的PE镜像推荐

如题，可以把容器的67 68 69端口映射到主机的其他端口号吗，比如2000 2001 2002这样，会有什么影响吗

Hello there,

First of all, thank you for accepting my sign-up.

Ventoy is great and really useful, been using it for a while now.

Some days ago I wanted to try a Windows 11 ISO that I changed (Windows PE) in order to install some stuff automatically and make some changes while Windows is installing.

This ISO works if I use it as a standalone in a bootable USB drive. (been using this ISO for a while with no problems with Rufus)

I made a USB drive with Ventoy and just copied the ISO to the USB Drive. 
It boots and works ok until the computer restarts (it does some restarts after installing some things and/or drivers)

After that it just pops up the error that I mentioned on the subject - insert media #1 for the task sequence...

It looks like it isn't finding the files needed to proceed with the installation.

I just have the ISO in the root of the USB drive and nothing else.

Been trying to find in the forum if anyone had this problem but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

I'm trying to integrate iVentoy (version 1.0.19 Linux 64-bit) into my existing LAN which has isc-dhcp-server on Ubuntu serving IP addresses.
I've installed iVentoy onto this same machine and set DHCP server mode to "External".

When I try to boot machines, I get pxelinux.0 errors like this:-



If i temporarily disable isc-dhcp-server and set iVentoy to "Internal", the machines will then startup and show the list of ISO's to load.

Is something extra required when using "External" mode, there doesn't seem to be any mention in the Getting Started instructions

Hi All

Is it possible to mount a virtual hard drive and then boot from a DVD ISO?
For example, loading windows. I need the VHD mounted as the drive windows is being installed onto, and I want to boot off the windows DVD ISO to run the set-up.
