  Can't Get There From Here
Posted by: greno - 04-28-2022, 06:40 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (7)

Ventoy newbie here.  Been reading Ventoy forum and many others for days.

Years ago I used something called USBoot to create a bootable Windows XP installation on a USB flash drive.
This worked extremely well since I went full time Linux starting around 2006.
But that was many laptops and hard drives ago.
I see now that it looks like USBoot has died.

So here's my current problem.  I have an HP dv7t-7000 notebook @2012 with a good Intel i7-3620MQ 8-thread CPU that I've upgraded over time to max memory 16GB.
The HDD in this machine has now died.  Taking with it my Windows 7 Home Prem and Fedora Linux installations. I have a backup of all my personal stuff so I'm not worried about that. I bought a new SSD drive and this time I'd like to do something like a USBoot USB for my Windows 7 Home Prem and then just have Linux on the SSD.  I haven't needed Windows except for a couple old programs like tax software and for my engine dyno simulation software and for things like BIOS flashing (damn HP for ever changing from DOS based to Windows based BIOS flashing but I digress).  So I still need it but not very often.

So right now I have no machines with Windows.  I do have Linux machines.  So how do I go about using Linux to create a Windows installation on USB that'll boot UEFI? 
As the title says, to me it looks like Can't Get There From Here. Sad

  How to boot of a third btrfs partion on a usb drive
Posted by: wolf2482#1639 - 04-25-2022, 02:04 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Ok I was wondering how could I install arch linux on to a third btrfs partion and have that as a boot option I assume it is possible because Ventoy uses grub but I don't know how. could anyone tell me what changes in the arch install process I would have to do. I have never messed with grub before so and I struggled installing on my pc and once I got it to work I have no idea why it worked. So anyway what resources would be useful for me to do this?

  Ventoy Boot Conf Replace Plugin - improvement ?
Posted by: fuse59 - 04-20-2022, 07:41 AM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (1)

Hello !

Is it possible in a future version for the same linux iso to replace several files ?

Code:
{
    "conf_replace": [
      {
            "iso": "/iso/clonezilla-live-2.8.1-12-amd64.iso",
            "org1": "/boot/grub/grub.cfg",
            "new1": "/path/new-grub.cfg",
        "org2": "/boot/grub/ocswp-grub2.png",
            "new2": "/path/new-logo.png"
      }
    ]
}

Question [ Feature request ] f2fs support
Posted by: jozefk - 04-17-2022, 07:58 PM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - No Replies

Hi! 
Was just thinking about asking if it would be possible and make sense to add f2fs to the list of supported file systems for the partition which is by default made to exFAT?
I tried to make it f2fs but it didn't work. 

Thanks!

Hello to all of you,

I am using Ventoy and I like it a lot
The question I have is that I have many ISO files that are either CSM bootable or UEFI bootable

Is there a way to convert an CSM bootable file to an UEFI bootable file and vice versa ?

Thanks in advance
