讨论一下我在使用vt的vhd启动时的几个问题：

问题(1)：vhd虚拟磁盘里的系统一定要oobe好吗？
问题(1)描述：目前我的电脑启动U盘内vhd，如果只安装没有oobe，就自动黑屏，重启。oobe好的vhd系统还没试。

问题(2)：vhd启动成败与U盘插在电脑的位置有关吗？比如机箱前面USB(接口较少)和后面主板(接口较多)
问题(2)描述：第一次试在vhd里装win8，插机箱前面，启动成功；第二次在vhd里装win8.1，插机箱后面，频频重启，黑屏，当检查vhd文件时，发现已损坏。是U盘的问题还是ventoy的vhd启动模块有待改进？

问题(3)：vhd的动态空间可以随心所欲吗？还是在有限空间内？
问题(3)描述：vhd预定2T空间，启动时蓝屏 [代码为vhd_boot_host_volume_not_enough_space] ，之后改为力所能及的空间，正常启动。但为什么某些人的vhd大到好几T依然可以正常启动？


以上是我暂时遇到的所有问题，不知各位有没有遇到和我一样的情况？如果有适当的答案我讲非常感谢。希望ventoy能不断改进，力争启动界的巅峰。

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:
mod_ventoy-1.0.78-linux.tar.gz
mod_ventoy-1.0.78-livecd.iso
mod_ventoy-1.0.78-windows.zip

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
