Ventoy 1.0.61 Installation Error

[Diamax]

Hello everybody,

I am confronted with an error, using this last version of Ventoy, and I had replicated the error multiple times. Always the same result, installation fails.

The previous version of Ventoy that I had used, 1.0.37, works perfect for me, however with this current version installtion leads to an unusable USB Flash Drive.

I am not able to see the USB drive listed in the file manager any longer, after attempting to install Ventoy, unless of course I re-format.

Here are the screenshots in GParted before and after install attempt, as well as the terminal command window in MX Linux 19.4, when atempting to install.

See the error message, I do not get any error at all with the previous versions of Ventoy that I had used, only with this one.

Take note that despite the message at the end of installation stating that installation was succesfull, obviously it was not so.

Here are the screenshots, when going thru the installtion process.

Hope this helps and thank you for the usefull tool that Ventoy is.

There is nothing to download.

[longpanda]

You need to sign in github to download the release as follows:

It's ridiculous, you need to have an account for every website you visit these days... it's not going to happen.
I only meant to report an error, not to sign up for yet another website.

Sorry. I thought you have a github account.
You can download from the above link given by @nguyen ha thai trong  and try.
If you don't want, you can wait for the next Ventoy release.

Thank you Nguyen for the download link.

Longpanda, I did not mean to lash out at you, is just that I can't stand having to create accounts and login to all sorts of websites these days... today the internet puts too much emphasis on statistics instead of quality of experience.

I am in no hurry, I just wanted to make sure you guys are aware of the error, so it does not go unnoticed, and plague Ventoy in future releases. I thought that is the least I can do, on my part, as a user.

I wish you all the best guys!

Hi Longpanda, with the new version of Ventoy, 1.0.62, I get pretty much the same error. This time I had tried the web install as well. Here are the screenshots.

When install, Ventoy will write some data to the USB stick and at the end of install, Ventoy will read back the data and compare with the data that just write before.

From the log I see that the data read back miss match with what just write in.

So I doubt that your USB stick may be fake or fauty or contains some bad physical sectors.
So I suggest you to use some tools to do a full test with the USB stick to confirm that whether there is some hardware problem with the USB stick.
