First of all thank you for this great program that I use regularly for my USBs.

I bought this model of 4TB external HDD: "USB vendor: Seagate model: Expansion HDD: size: 3.64 TiB block-size: physical: 4096 B logical: 512 B type: N/A serial: rev: 1901 scheme: GPT".

I did the installation of Ventoy in GTP, since in MBR it tells me that it can only be done in 2TB, but although the installation and partitions are done correctly, I have tried both in Linux and Windows, Ventoy does not work in this 4TB disk, it does not boot when starting the PC, it does not show anything from Ventoy boot, is there any way to make it work in this disk?

Thanks

Firstly use other tools (e.g. Rufus) to make a bootable HDD with some ISO file.
Then test it in your computer.
If it still can not boot, then it is not Ventoy problem.
If it can boot OK, then it is Ventoy problem.

Try it.

Hi:
I have Ventoy running on several USB 32, 64 and 128 GB, also on a 2.5" 130 GB external disk partitioned in GPT and they all work fine for me, when I install it on the 4TB disk the Ventoy installation tells me that everything is fine, but it does not work.... I press F12 to choose to boot from USB in my Bios, but it does not show the Ventoy Grub, just the black screen and jumps to my PC Grub.
Thanks

Pls,read this article
Hi:
I have reviewed the article but I don't see or understand what is wrong? The Ventoy installation tells me that everything is OK, it creates the 2 partitions (EFI and esFAT) even the reserved space, but the Ventoy Grub does not boot?
What is wrong?

In the article it says a part that I don't understand, If I choose "GPT" it doesn't make any 1MB "MBR" partition, how do I do this,
"About First 1MB Space
As for GPT format, there is a protect MBR in the 1st sector (LBA0), and then from LBA1 ~ LBA33 is the GPT partition head and partition table. LBA34 ~ LBA2047 is used to store legacy bios bootloader of Ventoy (same with MBR format)
"


I attach pictures of the result

Thanks
