  Unable to boot a VHD of medicat with Ventoy 1.77
Posted by: aristo123 - 06-26-2022, 06:02 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (23)

My system is set for UEFI boot. I made a VHD of medicat (GPT, Ventoy 1.77, NTFS). 
I then created a Ventoy 1.77 USB disk (GPT, NTFS).
I put the medicat.VHD on the Ventoy USB disk, created a /ventoy folder, and put the Windows 10 ventoy_vhdboot.img into the /ventoy folder.
On boot the Ventoy menu appears, but when I select the medicat target I get an error and am unable to boot:
File: \Windows\system32\winload.efi
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains erros.

Note:
- The medicat VHD boots successfully in VirtualBox
- Ventoy (GPT) installed directly onto the USB disk boots fine
- Medicat installed directly onto the USB disk boots fine


I've tried all of the following:
- Partition VHD with MBR
- Partition Ventoy USB with MBR
- Format Ventoy USB as exFat
- Tried the Windows 7 ventoy_vhdboot.img (different failure)
I see the same issue in all cases.

  Suggestions: Copy files to \ventoy + format button
Posted by: Steve2926 - 06-26-2022, 09:24 AM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (3)

When making a new Ventoy drive or updating a ventoy drive, it would be most convenient if there was a button to automatically add VentoyPlugson files and download and add plugins to the \ventoy folder.

e..g.  in Ventoy2Disk.exe - add new button for:

'Add utilities and plugin files to \ventoy folder'


This would mean we would have the correct version of ventoyplugson and the latest  wim/vhd plugins and scripts on the USB drive.

It makes it easier to find and run VentoyPlugson and scripts.

Also, add button to  Ventoy2Disk.exe to format main partition (can just call Windows format program), so that we can easily convert to NTFS and then click 'Add utilities' button to get utilities and plugin downloads.

Is this practical?

  json autoinstall parent not working - VentoyPlugson bug?
Posted by: Steve2926 - 06-26-2022, 08:44 AM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (1)

Parent entry does not seem to work - so I added second image entry and that works.
But just single Parent entry does not seem to prompt user to select XML
Only the second entry seems to work. If I delete the image entry in VentoyPlugson, then I am not prompted to select an XML file.
v1.0.77 Legacy MBR USB disk.

Code:
{
    "auto_install":[
        {
            "parent": "/_ISO/WINDOWS/WIN10/",
            "template":[
                "/_ISO/WINDOWS/WIN10/VENTOY_Auto_WipeDisk1_Win10ProUK_ASK.xml",
                "/_ISO/WINDOWS/WIN10/Ventoy_1.xml"
            ]
        },
        {
            "image": "/_ISO/WINDOWS/WIN10/Windows10_21H1_UK64.iso",
            "template":[
                "/_ISO/WINDOWS/WIN10/VENTOY_1.xml"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

I found problem!
VentoyPlugson allows \ placed at end of the path
If I make path "parent": "/_ISO/WINDOWS/WIN10",
it is OK

Bug in Ventoyplugson?

  Ventoy ESP partition
Posted by: haspok - 06-25-2022, 09:15 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

First of all like and enjoy Ventoy very much. But!

Would it be possible (or make sense at all) to enlarge the esp partition to a couple hundred MB and change it to Fat32?

Would that make it possible install other programs on the Ventoy (still large enough) partition and use the enlarged (standardized) ESP partition as usual?

In case of using an external usb hdd (not a pendrive), the Ventoy directory could be changed to NTFS, then devided into multiple partitions allowing to install other bootable OS's.

The pendrive version of the program could be left alone as it is right now.

It is obvious by now, I guess, that I'm a newbie. Thanks for reading

  Does the "Halt" operation include the head parking of an HDD?
Posted by: Matthew Wai - 06-20-2022, 07:57 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

F5 --> Tools --> Power --> Halt

Does the halting include the head parking of an HDD? It is advisable to park the head before you power down an HDD.

Exclamation RESOLVED - Hiren Boot CD 15.2 not booting properly
Posted by: telx - 06-20-2022, 12:56 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (2)

Good day all,

Occassionally I need to use a very old .iso called Hiren Boot CD 15.2. It is based on the Windows XP OS and comes with a bunch of easy to use fixes (the one I use the most is the HDC Fix option).

I believe you can still download it (even though the PE version is replacing it) here - https://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hiren...D.15.2.zip

My issue: Using Ventoy it boots into the portable Win XP, but none of the programs or scripts, etc are available.
However if I use an alternative portable USB creator like YUMI it works fine. Boots and all programs are available.

@ventoy - can you please fix this?

If needed I can make some screenshots. 

regards,
Steven Swarts

Enrolling the Secure Boot key with Super UEFIinSecureBoot Disk v3-3.
It works fine on a Dell Optiplex Micro PC.
Is there a tool or a good guide to remove the Secure Boot key again? For example before selling the PC.

  Vtoy_Boot Vdisk Mount point
Posted by: AlexNixxx - 06-18-2022, 06:28 PM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (4)

I'm using vtoy_boot (Linux vdisk boot) plugin to boot to MX Linux from my drive. I wanted to ask where does the plugin mount the partition within the linux where the vdisk (vhd) file resides.

For ex. My vhd is in the first partition of the disk. When I boot to it I can access the rest of the partitions but the first one is never accessible. It cannot be mounted, but I reckon that it must be mounted somewhere to let ventoy boot from it.  I need to access the partition regardless. 

Same thing happens with booting Linux ISOs from a disk partition. When I do that I cannot access that partition anymore.
