Create an .iso out of a bootable USB stick?

[highend]

Hi,

e.g. the software DiskGenius (https://www.diskgenius.com) can only create a bootable USB stick (UEFI and BIOS), but not an .iso that I could use with Ventoy directly.

This is what's written to the stick:

Code:

.\bootmgr
.\boot
.\boot\BCD
.\boot\boot.sdi
.\DiskGenius - Boot
.\DiskGenius - Boot\boot.wim
.\DiskGenius - Boot\Version.txt
.\EFI
.\EFI\BOOT
.\EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi
.\EFI\MICROSOFT
.\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT
.\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BCD

If tried to use an .iso image of the latest Windows 10 edition and modify it (by removing everything apart from the files / folders listed above and then copying them over). Leaving out the .\DiskGenius folder but instead copying the boot.wim file out of it into the .\Sources folder in the .iso
That didn't work unfortunately...

Any other ideas (the .iso should still be able to boot on UEFI and BIOS / CSM systems)?

Just copy the boot.wim file to the Ventoy USB disk and boot to the boot.wim directly from Ventoy - no need to make an ISO.
You will need to add wimboot plugin too

I have created a USB and have successfully installed windows through the ventoy program. What I want to do now is to configure ventoy to only search in a specific directory when booting. I can't seem to open the second partition on a windows machine (created the ventory usb on an Ubuntu system).

Thank you, Steve2926, it works as expected!
