I was hoping someone could give me a breakdown on the overall requirements of the iso files ventoy can boot and the limitations of ventoy.

Can I put an iso without a bootloader on ventoy partition?

Can ventoy boot with just an initrd/vmlinux/filesystem.squashfs on the iso, no syslinux/isolinux/grub?

Hi,
I have to install Windows 10 Pro N in multiple system but they have multiple partition scheme. It's possible to using one flash drive for MBR and GPT systems? and put every ISO files on that to boot on multiple partition scheme.

Thanks

I am facing an issue while trying to run a LinuxMint.vdi file on Virtual Box on a Windows 10 host machine. I get the following error message:

(1) "cryptsetup: waiting for encrypted source device /dev/mapper/ventoy3...

(2) "Volume group "vgmint" not found"

Having said that Earlier, it was working fine and I was able to run it both in the real system (using a Ventoy-enabled USB drive) as well as in VirtualBox. However, after trying the USB drive on a secure boot enabled laptop (by following this) I am now only able to run the LinuxMint.vdi in the real system using a Ventoy-enabled USB drive NOT in VirtualBox.

Is there a solution to this problem, or any other way I can run the .vdi file in VirtualBox on my Windows 10 host machine? I was just hoping that since it can run on a real machine, I could run a script or something in Linux Mint terminal which would make the .vhd file work again in VirtualBox?

Greetings.

My previous thread (which is not quite resolved) is still open.  However, I am trying it on Linux, where Acronis is not an issue.

As per the video that told be about ventoy, I downloaded and uncompressed & untarred release 1.0.88, opened a terminal window and then ran: 

I copies two ubuntu 22.10 iso's to the ventoy usb.
Neither will boot
Both say invalid magic number

I burned the same iso's to dvd and they boot without any problem.

What's the deal?

Q-Dir : is alternative Freeware to Microsoft's File Explorer.
i used winsetupfromusb have function to run Q-Dir file explorer before setup windows 





How can do that at Ventory

Hi people.

I'm new to Ventoy and I've decided it's time to create a drive on a 1TB portable HDD using Ventoy so I can install various rescue and recovery ISO's in case I should ever need them.

Windows 10 will only allow me to create a Recovery Disk on a dedicated USB stick.

What I'd like to do is create a bootable ISO file of the USB stick that has the recovery files on it to use it on my new Ventoy Drive.

The only way I can see to do that is using ImgBurn or Magic ISO and copying a third party boot file onto it to make it bootable.

Will that work on Ventoy or does anyone have a better suggestion for the best way to go about this?

Thanks for reading.

Greetings, folks.

I would not be posting anything if I did not have a nasty newbie problem.   I'm mainly writing to confirm my suspicions.

I tried running Ventoy2Disk.exe yesterday and it seemed to start OK for a few seconds.  I have Acronis protection and it stopped the ventoy in it tracs, giving me this message box:
[attachment=690]
I presume this is when Ventoy tried to create an MBR on the USB drive, not on my main hard drive.  This is what I need to be assured of so that I can take certain steps.  If Acronis is just a road block I can surely disable the [dis]service while I try again.  (I'll probably post that question on an Acronis forum.)

In the process it also seems to have bricked my USB drive.  Windows will not recognize it more that a beep when I insert it; it no longer shows up on the list of drives when I open "This PC".  (Using Windows 11).  Hmmm... I wonder if it will be recognized when I boot Linux.  As above, the process of un-bricking the USB is beyond the scope of this forum, though if someone has a solution that has worked, I'd appreciate hearing form you.  (Google has provided a gazzillion solution that don't match what I see when I open the dialogs.)

Thanks for help with this.

最近在试用了docker版MacOS（sickcodes/Docker-OSX）的 sickcodes/docker-osx:naked 之后，突然萌生了一个想法，既然 vtoyboot 可以制作可由物理机引导的 linux vdisk，那么是否可以将这个docker 中的系统迁移到 vdisk 中，再在物理机上去启动MacOS的系统镜像？

我理解的是，Docker-OSX 通过 qemu 以运行虚拟机的方式启动 MacOS 的img镜像。这样 MacOS 的镜像是动态大小的，而且系统可以通过直通的方式使用硬件。
那么通过ventoy引导一个精简的虚拟机系统（这 个/类 精简系统可以作为ventoy的插件），再分配所有硬件给要运行的虚拟机来启动镜像的方式，是否可行？
我觉得可见的好处是，这样可以临时兼容更多镜像文件，因为只要配置虚拟机就好了；而且这样运行的目标系统虚拟硬盘是动态大小的，可以更有效的利用硬盘空间。

以上是我想当然之言，希望能抛砖引玉！


Recently, after trying out the docker version of MacOS (sickcodes/docker-OSX) -- sickcodes/docker-osx: naked , an idea suddenly arose. Since vtoyboot can make a linux vdisk that can be booted by a physical machine, can the system in this docker be migrate to the vdisk, and then start the system image of MacOS on the physical machine?

In my understanding, Docker-OSX uses qemu to start the img of MacOS by running virtual machine. In this way, the image of MacOS is of dynamic size, and the system can use hardware by passthrough.
So is it feasible to boot a thin virtual machine system (this kinds of thin systems can be used as a plug-in of ventory) with ventory, and then allocate all hardware to the virtual machine to start a target image?
I think the visible advantage is that it can temporarily be compatible with more image files, as long as the virtual machine is configured; Moreover, the virtual hard disk of the target system running in this way is of dynamic size, which can make more effective use of the hard disk space.

The above is what I take for granted. I hope I can throw a brick and draw a jade!

I have configured several plugins Global Control, Menu Class, Theme, Alias and everything works without problems.

I have a problem with the Global Control plugin and parameters:
