Install Ventoy to HDD

[Marcosh]

Hi,

is there any chance to install Ventoy to HDD (SSD)? If possible in UEFI mode.

I have a Computer here, which is only for testing and Data-Recovery, so I use a bunch of Tools. It would be nice to do this from Hard-Drive and not from the USB-Pendrive.

Thanks for your help.

In Linux, you run  Ventoy2Disk.sh   -i  /dev/sdX   to install Ventoy, and the sdX is not limited to USB stick, it can be any disk (HDD, SSD ...)


Hello,

I have an External SSD 1TB USB 3.1

I did
    sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -i -s /dev/sdd

Then as I cannot boot I tried
    sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -u /dev/sdd

Both ended correctly but I fall on minimal grub prompt when I boot
I tried with a simple USB key 4GB and it work but cannot make it work on SSD (does 1 TB is too high ?)

I see second partition is fat16 using gparted but grub command ls (hd0,2)/ says unknown filesystem.
grub command ls (hd0,1)/ is Ok.

I see a difference on second partition between SSD and USB key (4 more files on USB key)
I put some screenshots fro more details in attached file.

Do you have an idea why it doesn't work, something I could do ?
Does 1 TB is too big and makes second partition too far ?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe something similar.

Oh yes right, my problem seems to be exactly same as the one described at the link you provided and workaround work fine. I now can see Ventoy menu and boot.
Thank you very much
