How to install Ventoy on 4096 byte sector media
#1
Hi
I have an SSD I would like to install Ventoy on but it has a 4096 sector size.
I run Linux with no access to Windows.

sudo gdisk /dev/sdc gives:

Disk /dev/sdc1: 31256064 sectors, 119.2 GiB
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096/4096 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 38AAEDDA-2A84-4B23-B05A-57E99B87691B
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 5
First usable sector is 6, last usable sector is 31256058
Partitions will be aligned on 256-sector boundaries
Total free space is 31256053 sectors (119.2 GiB)


sudo ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdc
gives:
Create partitions on /dev/sdc by parted in MBR style ...
Error: The location 249987071 is outside of the device /dev/sdc.

Special files require major and minor device numbers.
Try 'mknod --help' for more information.

Is there a way to install Ventoy on such a drive?
Thank you

Legacy BIOS does not support 4k sector drives
- and Ventoy does not support it either.
