+--- Thread: UEFI Boot Menu showing 2 entries for Ventoy UFD (/showthread.php?tid=2130)
UEFI Boot Menu showing 2 entries for Ventoy UFD - bbertrand007 - 07-08-2022
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.

Does your USB drive have three partitions?
Is there a \EFI folder on partition 3?

It is probably a BIOS issue. Some show other partitions as boot options even if they are not UEFI bootable.
When you say 'When I ask to display my UEFI Boot menu,' what exactly do you mean? Are you pressing F12 on boot for BIOS Boot Selection menu pop-up?
Make/Model/BIOS rev.?
In WIndows\Linux OS, can you Change option to show all files and hidden files in File Explorer and then give us details of Ptn 3.
FAT32/NTFS/exFAT? Size? How made? What files and folders are on it? Partition Type number of ptn 3 (RMPrepUSB - Drive Info - 0)?
Any hidden folders?
