Is it possible to view other files instead of just ISO, img .......? - EtaBeta - 02-01-2026
Good morning, I have a request, if possible.
On my Ventoy USB drive I use a folder structure, for example:
Code:
/ISO/Windows
/ISO/Linux I also created a folder called Misc Software, where I keep Windows executable programs, video guides, DOCX documents, and much more.
I would like to know if it is possible to view its contents when booting the USB drive with Ventoy.
Please note: I only mean viewing the files, not running them. I am aware that I can view the contents simply by opening the Misc Software folder, but to do that I need an operating system to be running.
So, if I need to check what the above-mentioned folder contains, I can’t do it directly from Ventoy.
I would like to know if there is a procedure to do this; otherwise, thank you anyway for reading this far.
Thank you.

Ventoy is only a bootloader (grub2) environment, so you can only view a simple txt file contents.
When you in Ventoy main menu, press c to enter grub2 cmd, and use cat xxx to view the file contents.
