| Migration from MBR to GPT fails |

Hi,
on old hardware I made a Ventoy USB stick using MBR. This Vento USB stick worked.
The first partition was an ext4 partition holding
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-pers1.dat
ventoy/ventoy.json
the content of ventoy/ventoy.json was
Code: {
"persistence": [
{
"image": "/xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso",
"backend": "/xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-pers1.dat"
}
]
}
Now I try to make a Ventoy USB stick using GPT on new hardware. Actually it's the same USB stick.
I tried in 1001 way, never touched the second partition, but whatever I tried so far doesn't work. The closest to something working was done this way:
I used gparted to create the GPT and to create an 16380 MiB sized ext4 partition. Behind the ext4 partition were 13619 MiB left unallocated.
Then I run
Code: ventoy -i -r 13554 -g -n /dev/sdf
I copied
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-pers1.dat
ventoy/ventoy.json
to the ext4 partition, the files that were used by the MBR USB stick. I have done nothing to the second partition. When I boot I get the Ventoy menu with the Ventoy wallpaper claiming that no ISOs are available.
Other attempts without the "-n" option were even more worse. I got a black screen, the output was something similar to "invalid Ventoy".
Code: # pacman -Q ventoy-bin
ventoy-bin 1.0.91-1
# ventoy -l /dev/sdf

Why do I get a This is not a valid ventoy device with error code 12 if I try to boot Ventoy from my Samsung T7 Shield after installing a Windows time machine software such as Eazy Fix from Eaz Solution or Rollback Rx from Horizon DataSys. The software should only modify the MBR on the primary drive but it also modified the MBR on the USB drive and when I turn protection off it only restores the MBR on the primary drive but does not restore the MBR on the USB drive. The MBR gets rewritten on both drives every time I turn protection on. If I try to reinstall Ventoy to my USB drive while protection is turned on the install or update fails unless I turn protection off. I use GPT on both drives.

| serial boot - USB-to-FTDI adaptor |

Hi
I'm trying to get Ventoy working over serial using this FTDI USB-TO-Serial adaptor but it's not working.
My laptop does not have a built in serial port, so a USB adaptor is my only option.
I tried adding:
Code: {
"theme": {
"display_mode": "serial_console",
"serial_param": "--unit=0 --speed=9600"
}
}
But I'm guessing this is for hardware UARTs on the motherboard rather than USB based options.
I see that Grub supports the FTDI adaptor but I'm out of my depth in understanding how to activate this in Ventoy ..or if it's possible.

| Did Ventoy just brick my SSD? |

I have a 1TB nvme SSD in an external USB enclosure on which I installed Ventoy using the Windows installer, also creating a 850GB partition for general use. This I formatted to NTFS and assigned a drive letter. I noted the Ventoy partition had been assigned a drive letter and I created just a folder on there for now.
I then ejected the drive and reconnected it. The access light flashed about twice a second for maybe a minute then went off. During this time Drive Manager showed nothing mounted then, after the access light went dark, an uninitialized disk was shown. Attempted to initialise this gave the message "Virtual Disk Manager: Incorrect Function".
Any thoughts what's going on here and what my options are for 1. Getting my SSD back and 2. Getting Ventoy working.

| ventoy固态硬盘，可以划分区直装Linux吗？ |

实际情况：
初装的固态硬盘分区为（ventoy文件区，vtoyefi引导区）多系统启动正常，我想划出100G拿来玩Linux（VDI已经会了，想体验直接装与VDI的区别）
调整后分区为（ventoy文件区，闲置100G无区，votyefi引导区），启动失败，提示this is not a standard ventoy device，让我选择重启关机啥的
再调整分区为（ventoy文件区，ext4区，votyefi引导区），启动失败，提示我minimal bash-like line editing is supported，进的grub命令行
我的问题是，ventoy盘，可以划出一片直接安装别的系统吗？怎么操作
