What is Ventoy's boot file? - ToysILike - 08-19-2025

Some of the newer AMD (and perhaps Intel) chipsets are asking for a drive hash or boot file when I boot with Ventoy. A long list of .efi and .sys files are displayed. Which should I choose. By the way, USB drives with plain Jane Windows boot just fine.

I use VENTOY/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI when I need to set a boot file for a program that has to have one.

The VENTOY directory is hidden by default in Windows installs so you need to assign a drive letter to it.
