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.

Hi =)

i have 2 servers:
1. PXE server using iVentoy
2. testing server
i've taken two backups of the second server using REAR (Relax and Recover) and CloneZilla - both are in ISO format, with standalone unattended restore capability

now here's my problem:
when i mount the ISO (either one) directly through IPMI the ISO works fine and the system is restored (unattended)
when i boot the testing server using PXE to iVentoy environment and choose the ISO (either one) from the iVentoy list - the ISO initially loads but fails to run, system reports it can't find the restore files as if the ISO is not mounted at all

in clonezilla case - it fails in the part where it's trying to load squashfs
in rear case - it fails to find the restore data

should it technically work? or am i missing something?
let me know if you require any more info,
thanks,

I had a working version of Ventoy which I was very happy with, but it no longer boots.

I created an additional partition on my Ventoy disk and installed Linux (OpenSuse) on it. That installed it's own grub and now when I boot, the system starts OpenSuse.

How do I recover Ventoy's grub loader?

Add Device Drivers to Windows During Windows Setup | Microsoft Learn

Looking to create a Windows answer file (unattend.xml) to go with a Windows 10 install.

How do I get device drivers be available during the windowsPE stage?  I am trying to avoid modifying the Windows 10 .iso and placing the files inside there.

I understand iVentoy provides a HTTP server to serve files which I can get to work when sending PowerShell scripts during the Windows auditUser and auditSystem phases.

The problem I am facing here is that prior to configuring the drive and partitions, there needs to be specific Intel drivers to be installed before formatting and partitioning of the drives can be performed during the Windows install. I figure I am able to use the auto-injection feature of iVentoy to get the files into the X:\ boot drive however how am I able to automatically get these drivers to be installed?

Thanks

iventoy管理界面为啥不设置一个用户和密码呢

Hello, I think that might be impossible, but I'm curious.

Thanks!

I have an Intel NUC that refuses to boot iVentoy unless the boot menu resolution is set to 800x600. However, if I set the resolution that low, then every WinPE .iso I boot has a garbled display after the Windows boot logo, so I still can't get it to work. When I try higher resolutions I get errors like attached. Any ideas?
