Hi,
By default all ISOs are in main menu.

Is it possible to create menu with category like >>

Windows Workstation ISO
Windows Server ISO
Linux Live Boot
Windows Utility PE ISO
Dos Firmware Update ISO

Then if you go click "Windows workstation ISO" gives sub menu for ISO to boot from.

Win_7_Pro_x86.iso
Win_7_Pro_x64.iso
Win_7_Home_x86.iso
Win_7_Home_x64.iso
Win_8_Pro_x86.iso
Win_10_21h2.iso

Thanks in advance ...

so i am trying to get vhd onto my ventoy drive (windows) I dragged the file from github into my 'Ventoy' drive, (including the actual vhd file), and it did not work. (windows10), also, do apple laptop work with secure boot?

My system has UEFI firmware.  When I ask to display my UEFI Boot menu, I get the 2 NVRAM permanent entries but  instead of 1 entry for my Ventoy UFD, I get two.

UEFI Kingston Datatraveler 3.0PMAP Partition 2  - if I select this one, Ventoy works great
UEFI Kingston Datatraveler 3.0PMAP Partition 3 - if I select this one, I'm returned to the UEFI boot menu

It is a dynamic, UFD based entry.  It doesn't exist in my NVRAM.  If I remove the Ventoy UFD these two entries do not show up.  Do you know why this 2nd entry is showing up.  More an inconvenience than anything.

In continuation of the topics:  mod Ventoy Menu Tip Plugin(Design ventoy ventoy 1.0.72)
1. Changed "Hardware Information" ( hwinfo.cfg.....).  Start "F9". Result:
   
   
   
2. Added support for text files - *.cfg.  The encoding of the UTF-8 file.
3. *.cfg files can not only be read, but also run as menu Grub2, Syslinux or Pxelinux.
          

Example of running grub.cfg on video.

You can download the modified files from the following links:

I have three images in the "ISO" folder .iso, 
Windows_7_&_10_Pro_x86_x64_30.05.2021.iso,
Windows_7_Pro_x86_x64_15.12.2021.iso,
Windows_10_21H2_19044.1766_x64.iso.
I assigned the Windows_1 icon to the last two, and the image Windows_10_21H2_19044.1766_x64.iso.
I want to assign a Super icon_1. 
But I can't do it. Tell me where the error is, what am I doing wrong?

Hello

it happend that I selected the wrong OS/ISO to boot the PC from.  In order to interrupt the boot process (of the unwanted OS), I pressed Ctr+Alt+Del. This does infact reset the PC, but the "Ventoy-screen" is not loaded/shown again. It's necessary to power off/on the PC.


Why that? Has that something to do with Ventoy?


Thank's a lot!

Harry

Hello forum,

would like to add a LUKS-partition, preferably between the large NTFS-partition and the 32MB FAT16 partition.
(e.g. with a tool like gparted)

Is this a good idea?


Thank you!

Harry
