Hello @longpanda @ventoy

First of all thank you so much for your awesome work.(Ventoy)

I have a question.

Can we inject ei.cfg file in Windows 10/11 setup using injection plugin.

I know how injection plugin works but  I'm not sure if windows setup is loaded from X: ?

So, will ei.cfg work if injected using injection plugin?

One more question out of curiosity, can grub2 be updated to new version in Ventoy?
Current is v2.04 which Ventoy use and latest is 2.06. So, can Ventoy adopt new version of grub2 or it is heavily modified that new version can't be adopted?

Hi there, I'm struggling to create an edited Windows 10 ISO that can boot with Ventoy. The Windows 10 ISO does not show what edition you'd like to install (Home, Pro, etc.) by default so I extracted the ISO using WinRAR to add an ei.cfg in the sources folder that overrides this. I then use ImgBurn's "Create Image File from Files/Folder" functionality to make this folder into an ISO.

Steps to replicate:
- Download Windows 10 ISO officially from Microsoft's website.
- Extract with WinRAR to folder, add ei.cfg file under sources folder that allows me to select which edition to install.
- Open ImgBurn. Select "Create image file from files/folder" in ImgBurn, select the Windows 10 folder and the destination ISO directory. Under Advanced > Bootable Disc, I have tried making a bootable image where I point the boot image at the etfsboot.com file and changing the "Sectors to load" to 8. I have also tried making an ISO by leaving "Make Image Bootable" unchecked.
- Place ISOs on Ventoy flash drive.
- Upon trying to boot the bootable ISO ImgBurn created using Ventoy, I get a flashing underscore in the top left of my display for a few seconds before it returns to the Ventoy boot menu. Upon booting the ISO that was not made to be bootable, I get the error "No bootfile found for UEFI! Maybe the image does not support X64 UEFI!"

I have verified both ISOs are functioning using Virtualbox and both boot in EFI mode. When I copy the contents of both ISOs to another flash drive I can successfully boot both of them on a UEFI bootable only PC.

Has anyone been successful in doing what I'm trying to do with Ventoy? If so, how can I edit an ISO and then re-burn it into something that Ventoy will boot?

Thanks.

In ventoy.json, why when { "VTOY_MAX_SEARCH_LEVEL": "0" } does not display directories in TreeView mode, when { "VTOY_MAX_SEARCH_LEVEL": "1" } only displays 4 directories in TreeView mode, when { "VTOY_MAX_SEARCH_LEVEL": "2" } in TreeView mode only shows 6 folders,.......

Hi:

I am trying to restore my obsolete computers by ventoy but failed. My steps:
  1. I am using Ventoy1.0.59 to restore Linux or Ubantu
  2. No errors while making USB disk
  3. While the computer fails to recognize the bootable USB. It says "Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Midea in Selected Boot device and press a Key"

What is wrong? And how to solve it?

Thks

longpanda你好，由于Ventoy2Disk Windows版本没有向外部提供cli或是rpc，不便于与其他程序交互，因此我使用TypeScript编写了一个Ventoy2Disk日志分析器以此来了解用户对Ventoy2Disk的操作，这样可以在不修改上游源码的前提下使外部工具获取Ventoy的安装情况和一些其他使用Node.js不便获得的信息。

目前的仓库地址为  ：https://github.com/EdgelessPE/what-did-ventoy-do ，不过这个分析器非常脆弱，例如前不久1.0.59版本的Ventoy发布时分析器就无法完成最新版本生成的日志的分析工作，因此我有向ventoy转移此仓库以使这个工具得到Ventoy的官方支持的想法，这样当Ventoy2Disk修改了日志的打印时这个工具可以在第一时间跟进解析，维护者可以是我或您那边的某位成员 ，不知您的意向如何。

hello
Ventoy version 1.0.60
Shrinking the NTFS partition does not work. The command setting may be bad. The command runs well but the size has only been reduced by 1MB!

SOLUTION
chkdsk E: /f

and after retrying, it is good

i found some discussion about this error among ventoy users with mac machines but at the place i work i also get it on our dell optiplex 790 computers.

it doesnt seem like its only tied to macs.

Hello.
I have a problem with the customization of the menus.
I use ventoy since version 1.0.34.
Until version 1.0.39, when I upgraded, everything worked fine.
Since I wanted to upgrade to 1.0.40, the updates work but most of the icons I created to enhance the menus are not displayed anymore.
I don't change anything on my icons, just doing an update with the new release.

1.0.39

1.0.58
[attachment=461]

Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks for your help.

I have an X470 GAMING PRO CARBON from MSI. SecureBoot is on and everything ia set to UEFI. Win10 boots from the hard drive flawlessly. Also an Acronsi True Image rescue CD boots without problems.

But a USB stick, whether set with Ventoy or also with Rufus, is simply not recognized.

Boot order is

1) UEFI USB stick
2) UEFI CD-Rom
3) UEFI hard disk

Have also tried Ventoy the Secure Boot top left from the menu when setting with does not work.

The computer always just boots Windows from the 3rd boot option. Even if I press F11 or F12 when booting, there is only Windows in the boot menu - no stick is offered.

What can I do?

thanks

Query 1
Is the screen resolution when using the isos copied to a ventoy boot disk dependent on the laptop/Pc or is there a plug-in or setting in ventoy menu to refine or change or improve the same ?

I ask this because when using certain isos the resolution is so poor and scrolling does not work which means i cannot select certain functions/tabs/buttons which effectively means i canot use or exploit that iso program to create images or do partition management  work 


Query 2
My last query is whether mouse support on boot up is natively given by the laptop functionality or is there a generic mouse support for my touchpad available in Ventoy or one of its plugin

I ask because my touchpad mouse does not function on ventoy boot up but if i plug in a corded mouse into the usb port, i am able to use a mouse with Ventoy or the resident isos

Thank you
