Ventoy is a great open source app, that is easy to use, and powerful, open source.
I am using a minimal GUI WinPE, and my goal is to manually add drivers to it.
Does Ventoy Injection plugin only mount folder in WinPE session, or does it both mount and then add drivers to detect disks?

Hello.
I am a PC enthusiaist and I own many older laptops (10-15 years old), as well some older desktop PCs from 2016 year and newer.
I did install Ventoy on my 256 GB USB pen drive with many .iso images, but on some laptops I was unable to run Ventoy normally, due to error messages on pictures below.
I believe issue has to do with either I am booting Ventoy UEFI or Legacy system.
So I need help on how to make installation again so I can run normally Ventoy on older as well on newer systems with UEFI support?

Ventoy 1.07, when use any and all Linux ISO, such as Ubuntu, Mint, when inside of Live ISO desktop, Gnome Disks cannot mount the Ventoy Exfat partition that contains the ISOs. I have seen this problem for many versions, there used to be a box you could check in the settings, but that is gone now for a few versions, I did see it in the Changelog.
In 1.07 changelog it says it fixed it, but it does not work on any Linux ISO I have loaded.

When I boot to AnkTech WinPE or HirensBootCD, the screen resolution is 800x600 with no ability to change it. The resolution on the Ventory menu is 1024x768. I know this has been asked before and was wondering if anyone found a solution? I would like 1024x768 in AnkTech and hirens.

My system is UEFI only.

Also, I have Parted Magic; any way to add Persistence?

Dear members,



I created a HowTo on my SourceForge site:
How to boot several .ISO files from an USB/SD/HDD/SSD device using a Ventoy boot loader, and create a Data and Swap partition

also available in PDF file format:
2505MG-{version}-HowTo-Ventoy-on-USB-SD-HDD-SSD-with-data-and-swap-partition.pdf


A data partition to store personal files, and a swap partition to prevent performance issues or a system crash, are created on the USB/SD/HDD/SSD device as well.

This HowTo is Public Domain, so you can use it to your liking.

Edit: I added Windows screen dumps



I hope someone likes this!

there's a big discussion on OpenSUSE (Linux) users Mailing list about Ventoy 
and why it doesn't work with OpenSUSE Leap 16 iso, witch has nothing to do with Ventoy. 
Ventoy is the BEST!! tool ever!! OpenSUSE Leap 16 iso, with the new Agama installer is just
junk that doesn't work at all!!  

Whell, have look if you want...

Hi, I'd like to know about which ARM models/boards are currently 100% tested and supported by iVentoy. 

i.ex. Has anyone ever tried to serve it from a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W ? What's the absolute minimum hardware you have succesfully run it from?



Thank you.

Hello!

I'm using iVentoy in DHCP Server Mode: External.
I'm trying to use the MAC Filter in Permit Mode, to boot only machines with specified MAC-Addresses,
but all machines are responded to and boot over PXE.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Alternatively, is there a way to edit iVentoys boot menu, to set a default boot entry which boots from hard disk?

Thanks!

Hi,

I apologise if this went in the wrong forum.

Recently I tried ventoy to hopefully not have gazilion drives just to install each OS. I put the following ISOs on it which are known good:
windows 7 home premium x64
vista x64 all versions sp1
vista x86 all versions sp1
windows 7 pro x64

After I got into the boot menu I selected vista x86 and I got blinking underscore when I did normal boot. So I tried wimboot mode but that resulted in the setup not being able to load some disk driver.

I then selected vista x64 and it seemed to go smoothly until I got to the partition creation wizard. After it I got an error "setup couldn't find an valid partition table".
I also couldn't boot any ISO in normal mode. All had to be booted using wimboot mode.

I lastly tried the win 7 home premium x64 and I got an windows asking me to point to a driver for the USB/CD install disk.


Hardware I used:
Known good 32GB USB stick (no problems if I mount any ISO using rufus)
NTT model 8581 Windows Vista era laptop (boots normally with USBs which only have one ISO written on it).

Any ideas how can I fix it? This laptop doesn't support secure boot and the Ventoy USB drive was made without secure boot option.
