Is possible update ventoy through Linux when it was installed from the beginning thro - manueljordan - 01-27-2024
Hello
To load an .iso image through the boot process through a pendrive (or usb flash drive) I use since long time ago Ventoy
I want to know if is possible, and mostly safe, accomplish the following scenario
- Is possible update ventoy through Linux when it was installed from the beginning through Windows 10?
The pendrive has some .iso images and other custom directories and files.

Therefore exists currently a pendrive with Ventoy installed through Windows 10. But I want to know if is possible update Ventoy in the same pendrive through Linux - of course it in other laptop.

I would think so, as the end result is the same, it's just how you got there that was different.
boot.img goes in the boot sector, core.img goes in the 1st MB of the disk, and your VTOYEFI partition is just a partition.
EDIT: If you're not sure just make a backup of the relevant parts using dd and eg GParted for the EFI partition. You could even dd the whole disk: https://bdoga.com/full-disk-backup-with-dd/
