[Resolved] Installing Ventoy with more partitions - pled - 04-08-2025

Hi,
I just got a new external SSD (Transcent ESD310S) which is 1Tb large. Cool

I would like create several partitions on that key for different usages : one Ext4 for Linux storage, may be one NTFS for Windows, or one FAT32 for both Win & Android, and of course also use the key with Ventoy, so 2 more partitions (FAT16 and exFAT ?).

What is the best way to achieve that ? Start with installing Ventoy as for any USB key, then use GParted to resize the exFAT partition and create the additional partitions I want ?

Or is there another way ? (note I have already a USB key with Ventoy installed and configured, so I can copy partitions content if required).

Thank you for your recommandations.

Replying to myself : found the option to preserve some space at the end of the disk (menu Option - Partition Configuration). This is exactly what I was looking for.

My question was useless, everything was there under my eyes...

Thank you Ventoy !
